The recently observed disturbing degradation of our architectural heritage is the outcome not only of an unsuitable approach of the investors, but also the insufficient conservation knowledge of the projects' authors and the absence of appropriate standards for preparing fitting documentation. The presented article is an attempt at creating foundations for architectural-conservation projects and conservation undertakings. It must be stressed that the existing standards for designing new constructions do not encompass the conservation specificity of monuments of architecture, even though the range of the statute on Construction Law embraces also non-movable monuments, i.e. those of architecture. Additional emphasis is due to the fact that projects relating to monuments of architecture call for an approach divergent from that pertaining to designing new buildings. This difference appears already at the stage of pre-project initiatives, which must involve a full historical reconnaissance of a given monument and its assessment, as well as a definition of the state of preservation and causes of damage; complex conclusions and conservation directives comprise the end stage. From the very onset, pre-project efforts must engage all specialists working on the documentation. They should include authors of historical studies and conservators-restorers of works of art. Contemporary construction does not always require an initial project, which in the case of historical monuments is obligatory and often should appear in several versions so as to select the best possible conservation conception. A construction-conservation project differs essentially from a project needed only for obtaining a construction permission. The architectural-conservation part of the project must resolve all the existing problems, and thus every detail must be designed as part of the execution drawings. This stage has to involve the origin of all conservation projects of architectural details and the outfitting, planned by the conservator-restorer of works of art. The realisation must also entail the 'auteur' supervision of all the participants of the preparation of the pre-project and project documentation (this obligation should never depend on the good will of the investor). In addition, architectural studies must be continued. Realisation work should end with post-execution documentation, devised separately for each specialisation. It is postulated that the post-execution documentation be prepared by the architectural designers (naturally, for a suitable fee), since, as rule, the executor is unprepared and the realisation changes, compared to the project, are extensive.
