Abstract(s)
The research concerns methods of preservation of significant values of cultural landscape in the area of Grisons. These methods comprise both multi-stage urban planning regulations as well as ingenuity of architects focused on the development of local building traditions and protection of historical buildings. Architectural micro-interventions play an important function here. They limit excessive expansion of towns and villages and at the same time preserve the historical structures and development outline. The method of patient search for the right spatial and formal solutions has developed under the negotiatory nature of cooperation of the architects and the inhabitants and the perception of a commune as a client/investor. Thus, despite changes, any activities in the social and architectural spheres represent continued identification with a place. Confrontation of new trends, tendencies and ideology with strong and deeply felt tradition and environment deemed to be a significant value, verifies the assumptions of such new trends or tendencies, and in consequence adjusts or rejects them respectively. Changes are introduced on the condition that they are well thought of and blended with the historical and cultural continuum.
