Study on the Method of Restoration of Architectures in Asia

这项研究是亚洲建筑遗产保护和修复工作的基础研究。我们选择了四个地区和建筑风格，即泰国的高棉寺庙建筑、印度尼西亚的印度教寺庙建筑(Candi)、越南的顺化宫和印度的Nagara和Dravida风格的印度教寺庙建筑。在每一方面，我们尝试了以下三个阶段的研究工作和研究。第一个阶段是记录建筑的现状。我们拍摄了他们的照片，测量并绘制了尽可能详细的图纸(平面图、立面图、剖面图)，在某些情况下还使用了测量机。大多数建筑都部分或大部分被腐烂和破坏，而且在亚洲艰苦的环境中，这种腐朽的过程越来越严重。我们还检查了建筑的损坏情况，并试图从结构问题和环境(包括微生物)问题的角度分析其原因。如有需要，我们已收集和分析样本。下一阶段是了解建筑的原始规划。我们试图从我们通过上述第一项工作收集的数据中恢复古代风格规划、结构规划和测量规划，如果可以的话，还可以与一些关于建筑规划的古代文本一起使用(例如，印度的“布巴纳帕拉迪巴”“Mayamata”)。我们从寺庙建筑群的场地规划、平面和建筑的立面或截面的角度分析了测量规划。最后阶段是建立我们自己的亚洲保护和修复工作的方式。我们收集了每个地区目前进行保护和修复的方式的信息。每个国家都有自己独特的理念和方式。我们研究了它们的特点和问题，并试图在上述两项工作和研究的基础上提出建议。

This study is the basic research for conservation and restoration works of Asian architectural heritages. We have chosen four areas and architectural styles, namely, Khmer temple architectures in Thailand, Hindu temple architectures (Candi) in Indonesia, the Palace of Hue in Vietnam and Nagara and Dravida style Hindu temple architectures in India. In each areas, we have tried three stages of research works and studies as below.The first stgae is to make records of the present conditions of the architectures. We have taken their photographs, measurements and made drawings (plan, elevation, section) as detailed as possible, in some cases with the measuring machine. Most of the architectures are partly or largely decayd and destroyed, and the decay progresses more and more in the hard environment in Asia. We have also checked the damages of the architectures and tried to analyzed their reasons with the point of structural problem and environmental (including the microbe) problem. If necessary, we have gathered and analyzed the samples.The next stage is to know the original planning of the architectures. We have tried to restore the ancient style planning, structural planning, and measurement planning from the data that we gathered through the above first work and if available with some ancient texts on the planning of the architecture (ex.「Bhubanapradipa」 「Mayamata」 in India). We have analyzed the measurement planning with the point of the site plan of the temple complex, the plan and the elevation or the section of the architecture.The last stage is to establish our own way of conservation and restoration works in Asia. We have gathered information of the present way of conservation and restoration carried out in each area. Each country has the peculiar concept and its own way. We have studied their peculiarities and problems, and tried to make the proposal based on the above two works and studies.
