Study Notes
Castle of Kolding Restoration (1972-1991)
- Architects Inger and Johannes Exner
- Restoration philosophy: values historical continuity and innovative intervention
- Original construction: 13th century, royal residence, military stronghold, administrative hub
- Extensive damage: fire in 1808
- Restoration approach: preserve ruins' narrative, permit modern use. Rejected initial proposal for steel-glass 1808 appearance
- Strategy emphasized minimal interference with existing ruins and decay patina
- Debate: rebuilding vs. remaining ruins
- Key elements: preserving ruins, introducing modern structures, utilizing distinctive materials, reconfiguring spaces, and integrating functionalities.
Key Elements of the Intervention
- Preservation of Ruins: Ruins central to restoration – emphasizing existing walls and their history, highlighting layered history and time marks.
- Introduction of Modern Structures: Adapting ruins for contemporary use through identifiable laminated wooden pillars in southern and eastern wings, creating a dramatic interplay of light and space that respects existing architecture
- Use of Distinctive Materials: New materials like recycled oak wood and steel used for walls, walkways, and staircases - clear differentiation between original and new elements
- Spatial Reconfiguration: New steel walkways and staircases strategically placed to guide visitors, offering vantage points that highlight remnants and modern additions
- Integration of Functionality: Transformation of the castle into a cultural venue with large open spaces in the southern wing for exhibitions and gatherings.
Other Restoration Projects
- Oratory of San Filippo Neri, Bologna (1998-1999): Pier Luigi Cervellati's restoration built on earlier efforts of Alfredo Barbacci, emphasizing the preservation of historical integrity amidst the war's damage. Cervellati's additions clearly distinguished from the original structure.
- St. Marta Barracks, Verona (2005-2014): Massimo Carmassi's transformation of a military complex preserved historical elements (brickwork, proportions) while integrating it into a university campus through adaptive reuse principles.
