FORMER STUDIES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS ON THE HISTORIC CENTRE OF BUCHARESTwhich may be related to the “HERA” projectMaria BOSTENARU DAN„Ion Mincu“ University of Architecture and Urbanism

Usability of models

Previous studies

GIS data Restoration project Study of a street Urbanism plans for the historic centre of „Ion

Mincu“ University (without participation of the presenter)

Application of the study of a street for emergency planning and of the „safety structure“ for urban analysis

Proposals for disaster management provisions in urbanism plans

Previous studies

Karlsruhe, Germany (cooperation with Romania)

Bucharest, Romania

Known studies of urban planning applications for disaster management in Istanbul, Turkey Crotone, Italy Nice, France (RISK-UE, also involving

Romania)

GIS data gathered in april 2000 within the SFB 461 (German Research Foundation) project „Strong earthquakes“ Maria Bostenaru Dan – research assistant

Compilation of the form Leading student team

Includes part of the historic centre from the HERA project

Largest part: the N-S boulevard with Modernist buildings

Data available for the doctorate of Maria Bostenaru

Restoration project done as a student at then „Ion Mincu“ Architecture Institute for the historic area of Lipscani street Highlights need of 3D information Restoration can be extended to integrated

conservation regarding the interdisciplinarity of architecture and urbanism

Study of Colţea street, on the other side of the boulevard as the historic centre, done as a student at then „Ion Mincu“ Architecture Institute Integrated in the doctorate research at

Universität Karlsruhe Paper for Natural Hazards‘ and Earth System

Sciences about the importance of zoning for risk management http://www.nat-hazards-earth-syst-sci.net/5/397/2005/nhess-5-397-2005.pdf

Study in course

HERA project„Multihazard and vulnerability in the seismic context of the city of Bucharest“

Part of the University of Bucharest team Architectural vulnerability

Typological view instead of sub-zone view(for building types in Bucharest see http://www.world-housing.net)

Vulnerability as a result of urban planning decisions (type of parcels, disposition of high buildings in the centre with site effects etc)

SFB 461 projectKarlsruhe, Germany

on Vrancea earthquakes and Bucharest

GIS and disaster management study of a central zone in Bucharest

Whole site studied in SFB 461 - Germany

GIS database MS Access database GIS vectorial shapes Photographs

Data from field study and maps structure building age height function etc

Right: Coltea streetLeft: northern part of Lipscani street with the site for the restoration project in the following slides

The part not included here is more relevant for architectural vulnerability

Overlaping of the SFB 461 study zone with the one in the HERA project

3D data Height Roof shape Retiring levels (soft storey)

Photography for facades or even 3D reconstruction with PhotoModeller or similar software (not yet available from the German part)

Roof shape

Restoration project in Lipscani street

Student restoration project Inclusion of students in larger research of the

department (the current department where employed) on the historic centre

3D in a restoration project because Integrated development of more parcels can be

choosen The proposed development can have different

height The harmony with the height and facades of

neighbouring buildings must be thought for

Note the changes and the relationshiop with the neighbouring building

Facades

Study of a street

The importance of the street as urban element

Is representative for a detail urbanism plan More recently during the doctoral study the

analysis of the street photography (paper to be written)

The image of the street is altered by replacement of buildings after an earthquake strikes or changes in the look after retrofit The problem of memory

Study presented in the paper

Information on height different of information on number of storeys

Street profiles

Parcours of the street

Affected by changes in reconstruction/retrofit of buildings

Street image analysis

Street image analysis

Useful also for disaster studies, the mentioned evacuation waysş to be combined with GIS

Street profile analysis

Coltea street

Example of 3D analysis in urban planning

Urbanism plan

performed at the university/department of the presenter before her employment and after finishing studies

To check permits of including in the study

Urbanism plans for the historic centre

Historic centre Study by Nicolae Lascu and team

„Ion Mincu“ University of Architecture and UrbanismDepartment of History & Theory of Architecture and Heritage Conservation in 2002-2003 not partner in the project maybe for future projects

(urbanism plan of allowed interventions for the historic centre, including Lipscani and Colţea streets)

Future plans

Use of 3D for the study of a street,as being representative for an area Present and future: Changes induces by earthquakes

Comparison to photography (rendering?) Study of evacuation ways – the area occupied by a

building after collapse Also the SFB study contained data on streets for evacuation

(emergency planning) Proposal for inclusion in the urban plan regulation of

provisions for disasters (Cristina Gociman) Struttura urbana minima, struttura urbana strategica (Crotone

project, Italy, Agostino Goretti) Zoning (see also the cited NHESS article) Inclusion of disaster issues in the urban regeneration,

restructuring of historic centres (incl. integrated conservation)
