Valuation of historical buildings

Abstract The present work brings together various intervention solutions on similar buildings in the city of Oradea, dating from the same period: around the 1900s. The buildings of the study are not historical monument buildings, but in the General Urban Plan of the city of Oradea, they are symbolized as buildings of historical value. The structural system of the buildings is similar, as well as their shape. The constructions had various initial functions and the interventions on them are carried out in order to change the use, also in order to bring them to the current exploitation and performance norms. Consequently, the work presents various ways of approaching these constructions from an architectural and structural point of view, giving solutions for their value recovery. Depending on the proposed function, the interventions are carried out respecting the architecture of the buildings as well as their valuable elements, which demonstrates a correct attitude of the actors involved for the transmission of valuable architectural and structural qualities to future generations. At the same time, the work proves that there are solutions in this sens e, putting the creativity of architects to the test. Through this type of intervention, the development of the city is supported in a balanced way by valuing and respecting the valuable elements of historical buildings.
