Abstract

Owners and managers of the thousands of medieval ruins around Europe face the challenge of preservation despite limited options for modern use of their sites. The RUINS project develops approaches that help managers to find contemporary, social uses for old ruins while keeping historical heritage intact. Research and evaluation of various sites will create a basis for comprehensive management plans. A lack of functionality of medieval ruins leaves limited opportunities for establishing a viable economic future of these sites. Giving new functions to ruins can result in broad, economically profitable ways of using the medieval ruins. The aim is finding the balance between the needs of stakeholders and public expectations concerning use of medieval ruins on one hand, and on the other hand preservation of authenticity and historical value of medieval ruins. The individuation of the new function requires a specific knowledge of the building in all its aspects, but also considerations regarding socio-economic values of the context that identifies its historical meaning and artistic value. The approach is to find new aims to monuments, but in harmony with the characteristics that give value and meaning to them. Within the INTERREG Central Europe project RUINS, is developing an handbook that supplies an operational tool useful to guide owners and managers of the thousands of medieval ruins around Europe toward a stainable re-use, preservation and modern management of historical ruins. The work follows an outline composed by 5 chapters that will try to respond in an exhaustive way to the aims related to contemporary use of historical ruins.

2. Ruins: living heritage

Abstract

Ruins are representative of European values and illustrative of European history and heritage and our aim should be to raise awareness of this heritage in order to create a stronger identification with Europe and a further European integration as well. While people are living in and around World Heritage sites, their role in heritage processes and management has changed considerably. Nowadays we must connect the conservation goals with the objective of smart, inclusive and sustainable growth. Local communities must be encouraged to use their local cultural assets as a springboard through a process whereby local actors, are encouraged to assume an active stewardship over the heritage and are empowered develop that heritage in a responsible, profitable and sustainable manner. In their evocative and fascinating image, ruins must be returned to the contemporary life from which they often appear, instead, dramatically separated. Interventions on ruins appear difficult and risky, on the boundary line between archaeological and architectural restoration. The contemporary architectural interventions on the ruin oscillate from conservation to reintegration, up to the absolute extremism consisting in the reconstruction, considered acceptable and suitable only if based on the contemporary design that, from the knowledge of the history, leads to a creative and modern form and image of the architectural work.

Abstract

vol.6 (2018) 163-176, Zamek Hammershus, to średniowieczna, duńska warownia na wyspie Bornholm. W ruinie od połowy XVIII w. Dewastację powstrzymano w 1822, gdy ruinę zamku uznano za zabytek. Zamek, dominujący w widokach północnego wybrzeża wyspy stał się celem wędrówek romantycznych turystów. Decydujące prace konserwatorskie przeprowadził Peter Hauberg w latach 1885 – 1928, programowo powstrzymując się od rekonstrukcji. Funkcje recepcyjne pomieszczono w zabudowaniach opodal ruin. Polityka ochronna prowadzona od 1907 r. wiązała się z wykupem terenów wokół zamku i systematycznym usuwaniem okolicznych budowli. W 1969r. koncepcję centrum informacyjnego, ukrytego w krajobrazie stworzył Jørn Utzon. W 2013 podjęto realizację jego koncepcji. Projekt opracował duński zespół Arkitema, we współpracy z Buro Happold, i Ch. Harlangiem. Nowoczesne centrum interpretacji zabytku oddane do użytku w 2018 r. jest odsunięte od ruin i ukryte w formach terenu. Ochrona zamku Hammershus jest podporządkowana zachowaniu jego historycznej formy – trwałej ruiny. Jest również prowadzona w sferze krajobrazowej. Nowe centrum recepcyjne zlokalizowano i zaprojektowano tak, by nie konkurowało z formą historyczną i krajobrazem. Model zarządzania zamku Hammershus to przykład dobrej praktyki w ochronie dziedzictwa kulturowego i zabytkowych ruin. Istotą jest wykorzystanie atrakcyjności ruiny historycznej, jako obiektu przyciągającego odwiedzających oraz oddalenie współczesnych funkcji komercyjnych od zabytku wraz ze stworzeniem nowych możliwości kontemplacji zabytku oraz rygorystyczną ochroną krajobrazu., Hammershus is a medieval Danish castle on the Bornholm island. In 1743 Hammershus was finally abandoned as a stronghold. The fortress was partially demolished around 1750. The ruins were put on the national historic register in 1822. From 1885, until his death in 1928, P. C. Hauberg was in charge of the extensive restoration work. After that, the castle remained a picturesque ruin. The conservation policy, which was taken from 1907, includes the purchase of land around the castle and systematic removal of the surrounding buildings. In 1969 Jørn Utzon created the concept of the information center hidden in the landscape. In 2013, his concept was implemented. The project was developed by the Danish team Arkitema, in cooperation with Buro Happold, and Ch. Harlang. The modern information center put into use in 2018. Building is removed from the ruins and hidden in the nearby slope. The protection of Hammershus Castle is subordinated to preserving its historical form - a permanent ruin. It is also conducted in the landscape sphere. The new reception center was located and designed so as to not compete with the historical ruin and landscape. The Hammershus castle management model is an example of good practice in protecting cultural heritage and historic ruins. The main point is to use the attractiveness of the historical ruins, as an object that attracts visitors.The remoteness of modern commercial functions from the monument create new possibilities for contemplating the castle ruins and contributes to strict landscape protection.
