Limit and Transgression from the Historical Perspective of Urbanistic Regulations – Case Study on the City Center of Sibiu

Summary/Abstract: Transgression forces which have been present in our history appear nowadays not only in the everyday debates but also in all domains of knowledge. The confusion and contradictions resulted from the difficult bounce between acknowledging the limit and removing the temptation is reflected in the profile of our contemporary society. It is interesting to follow to which extent – when “the endless discussions with transgression, which is in fact a slyness of common thinking is replaced by the amazing simplicity of the statement everything is allowed” (Guillebaud, Jean-Claude, Taste of the future) – the urban regulations still have the power to impose themselves and to limit the growth of some tendencies that might become hard to handle. The best way to assess the efficiency of the development regulations in terms of image and urban comfort is through the results of the quality of the built-up ensemble, in historic turning points, when esthetic and utility aspirations are deeply modified. The case study focuses on the historical center of Sibiu, the former European Capital of Culture in 2007.
