Arhitecţii monumentelor în vechiul regat
Monument Architects in the Old Kingdom of Romania

Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on the early stage of formation of the legal and institutional framework, as well as on the beginnings of the registration, conservation, and restoration of historical monuments in the Old Kingdom of Romania. These topics started to be investigated in the second half of the 20th century and more recently, especially during the last two decades, the focus switched to the actors – either architects or self-taught, with or without specialized education, foreigners or locals – who, starting with the mid-19th century, gave meaning to the transition towards modernity of patrimonial practices. The current research does not aim to revise the topic, but to offer an overview, emphasising the most important contributions of those who have shaped an important chapter of modern architectural culture in Romania.
