CURRENT STATE OF THE BASIS OF THE THEORY OF RESTORATION PROCESSES

Abstract

In the article, on the basis of a brief retrospective analysis and generalizations, it is established that the modern foundations of the theory of restoration processes have a fairly developed initial empirical basis in the form of many recorded facts, but they do not fully reveal the essence of the processes and phenomena occurring in the ar-chitectural monument during its restoration. The foundations of the theory do not have the required number of their own rules and evidence, since the theoretical foun-dations and logic of the theory are characterized as incomplete. The main body of theoretical and applied knowledge, in the form of a set of statements, is predominant-ly borrowed from other areas of construction production (reconstruction, repair or new construction) with weak adaptation regarding the special properties of its own object and the subject of research - architectural monuments and the processes of their restoration. The foundations of the modern foundations of the theory of restora-tion of architectural monuments are the aesthetic, emotional, cognitive and histori-cal-documentary aspects, which in turn underlie the theoretical concepts of restora-tion, and which are brought together for the first time into a system, and such aspects of restoration as emotional, cognitive and historical-documentary, the author of the article first proposed the following formulations, characterized by laconicism and semantic capacity, namely: “delight and awe from touching the genuine creation of human fantasy”; “evidence of the past development of the spiritual and practical ac-tivities of human society”; “a historical document accepted as an irrefutable scien-tific fact of the existence and development of society, its spiritual and material cul-ture.”
