Features of the restoration of the “Golden Ear” restaurant (VDNH, Moscow)

Abstract

Introduction. As an example, an object of cultural heritage of federal significance is considered, which is one of the main objects forming the general appearance of the territory of the VDNH. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the results of historical, architectural and field studies of the facility, as well as to analyze data on the condition of materials and structures of the building obtained during restoration work on the facility under the supervision of the author. Description of the differences between design solutions and solutions implemented during construction.

Materials and methods. The study was conducted on the basis of work with archival information and the selection of analogues, as well as on the basis of research directly at the cultural heritage site as part of the author’s team of the restoration workshop.

Results. Conducting field studies during the production of works allowed us to introduce clarifying architectural and constructive solutions into the project. This made it possible to supplement the restoration and adaptation project, to take into account additional volumes of materials when drawing up estimates

Conclusions. When carrying out restoration work, it is extremely important to conduct scientific guidance, as well as for designers to conduct active authorial supervision, as it is not possible to perform a 100 % inspection of building structures at the stage of building inspection. The presence of hidden defects in cultural heritage sites is a constant phenomenon. The following defects were identified on the object given as an example, which affected the decision-making process.
