Moderná architektúra ako pamiatka: energeticky úsporná obnova

Modernity distanced itself from historical architecture by stressing temporality and opening the wide range of building types, structures and materials. Today it is entirely functional and subjected to utility changes. This is entirely new situation for modern heritage conservation. The research project will focus on problems that appear in this field and will provide solutions. Proposed investigation deals with modern architecture (in Slovakia) and relates to the wider understanding of modernity. Specificities of modern authenticity and structure of values will be defined. Characteristic types of distinct periods will be investigated. Investigation on characteristic materials and details regarding limits of their substitutions will be provided. Possibilities of enhancing utility and energy-saving performance by change or supplementary insulation protection regarding conservation values will be defined.
