Abstract

The present paper treats the network of railway water towers as a group of architectural objects forming the system of multi-dimensional connections - historic networked architectural resource (HiNAR). HiNAR functions within dimensions: technological one, reflecting technical and processrelated basis of the erection and functioning of towers as railway facilities; the organisational one as an object serving specific transport connections; the typological one at levels – local/regional, national or international. Perceiving a single tower as an architectural object does not allow to assess its significance and thus to correctly categorise the object in connection with the needs of conservator’s protection, as it is necessary to accept the role that it may be serving in a broader dimension.
