Concepts and Methods in the Conservation of Architectural Monuments

德国和日本在保护建筑遗产方面都有很好的系统性和经验，这些遗产主要由共同的木结构组成。来自不同文化背景和途径的原则、概念、方法和技术的交流将产生富有成果的观点并可能产生新的解决方案。双方讨论并同意了以下特别感兴趣的领域：“纪念碑(Denkmal)”的概念和保护的法律框架。城市保护的原则和方法。现代科学和传统技术在独立视觉上的限制。在两年的时间里，日方将第二领域作为研究的主要主题，而德国方面则是第一主题。我们选择了黑森的林堡和萨克森的迈森两个历史名城作为研究领域，并就城市保护进行了为期两周的调查。在林堡，对13个拖车楼进行了调查，我们可以了解到基于历史建筑实际利用的想法而进行的更新和新功能发现的各个方面。在迈森，研究对象不多，但对独立保护项目的过程和程序进行了详细的调查。德方重视日本保护方式中的“重建(福根)”原则，主要在京都、奈良和和歌山进行了两个月的研究。调查结果将在德国公布。

Germany and Japan, both have been well systemised and experienced in conservation of architectural heritages which mainly consist, of wooden structures in common. It was expected that exchange of principles, concepts, methods, and techniques from different cultural backgrounds and approaches will lead to a fruitful view and may result in new solutions.Areas of particular interest were discussed and agreed from both sides as follows :The concept of "monument (Denkmal) " and legal framework for the protection.Principles and methods in urban conservation.Modern scientific and traditional techniques for the restration in indivisual.Within the period of two years, the Japanese side took the second area as the main topic of research, while the Germany side the first. We selected two historic cities, Limburg in Hessen and Meissen in Sachsen, as the fields of study and carried out two weeks survey in terms of urban conservation. In Limburg, 13 towmhouses were surveyed, and we could know various aspects of renewal and 'new function finding' based on the idea of practical utilisation of historic structures. In Meissen, the objects were few, but the process and procedures of independent conservation projects were investigated clearly in detail.The Germany side took importance on the principle of "reconstruction (Fukugen) " in Japanese way of conservation, and conducted two months research mainly in Kyoto, Nara, and Wakayama. The results of investigation will be published in Germany.
