Concepts and Methods in the Conservation of Architectural Monuments

德国和日本在建筑遗产保护方面都有很好的系统和经验，这些遗产主要由共同的木结构组成。预期来自不同文化背景和做法的原则、概念、方法和技术的交流将产生富有成果的看法，并可能产生新的解决办法。双方讨论并商定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。城市保护的原则与方法。现代科学与传统的个人登记技术相结合。在两年的时间里，日本方面以第二个领域为主要研究课题，而德国方面则以第一个领域为主要研究课题。我们选择了黑森州的林堡和萨克森州的迈森两座历史名城作为研究领域，在城市保护方面进行了为期两周的调查。在林堡，对13座联排别墅进行了调查，我们可以了解基于历史建筑实际利用理念的更新和“新功能发现”的各个方面。在Meissen，文物很少，但独立保护项目的过程和程序都得到了详细的调查。德方重视日本保护方式的“重建（福根）”原则，主要在京都、奈良和歌山进行了为期两个月的研究。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.
