Study Notes
Restoration Debates (1970-1990)
- Brandi's 1972 restoration charter significantly influenced restoration practices from the 1970s to 1990s.
- Key principles included reversibility, minimum intervention, compatible materials, and distinct interventions.
Reversibility
- Advocating for undoable restoration interventions, allowing future changes without harming the original artifact.
- Scholars like Giovanni Carbonara emphasized reversibility for material and historical integrity.
- Marco Dezzi Bardeschi questioned whether some irreversible "marks of time" should also be preserved, favoring minimal handling.
Minimum Intervention
- Interventions should be necessary and have minimal alteration to the artifact.
- Marco Dezzi Bardeschi advocated for "pure conservation" avoiding significant additions or reconstructions.
- Paolo Marconi supported "restoration by analogy," allowing stylistically coherent integrations, if they improve functionality and readability.
Compatible Materials
- New materials should not negatively interact with original materials.
- Advancements in materials science allowed for more durable and non-invasive interventions.
- Giovanni Carbonara emphasized traditional materials where appropriate, combined with modern ones but using rigorous testing and documentation.
Distinguishability of Interventions
- Restoration should be clearly distinguishable from the original.
- Marco Dezzi Bardeschi argued for additions to be visibly different to preserve authenticity.
- Paolo Marconi favored subtler interventions that harmonized with the historical context.
- Giovanni Carbonara sought a balance where new elements were distinct but not disruptive, aligning with his critical methodology.
Palazzo della Regione in Milan
- Marco Dezzi Bardeschi's intervention included a modern staircase to maintain usability, even if it left the building incomplete.
- The addition emphasized distinguishability and the active use of the historical structure.
Critical-Conservative Restoration (Giovanni Carbonara)
- Balances monument preservation with present-day usability.
- Emphasizes historical understanding and contextual interpretation.
- Integrates new elements, respecting both historical and functional considerations.
- Restorations should respect traces of time.
