Research On Standardization System Of Architectural Heritage Documentation In China

Architectural heritage documentation is such a work that information on composing, conditions and uses of architectural heritages are collected, analyzed, studied and evaluated. As this work is one of the basic tasks in architectural heritages' conservation, research, drumbeating and public education, its standardization system is of strategic importance and realistic value in this field. Not only have significance of effective managements, canonical techniques and timely opening of documentations been emphasized in international charters and documents in the field of architectural heritage again and again, but also many advanced countries in Europe and America have been trying their best to build up administrant and technical system of architectural heritage documentation as important responsibilities of their governments by using different ways. Nevertheless,this work just begins in China and has not reached the demands which are abundant recordings, good qualities, ceaseless update and full opening in the Beijing Document on the Conservation and Restoration of Historic Buildings in East Asia . According to this status, the author discusses questions of standardization on recordings in two levels, one is administrant and technical system of documentations, the other is practical operation way on recordings.Firstly, based on investigation on domestic status quo and experiences abroad, this paper indicates that all kinds of ambiguous understanding on documentation should be clarified in the field of architectural heritage and suggests that standardization system of architectural heritage documentation in China should include management system which ought to be explicit between responsibility and authority, and effective in utilization, as well as technical system of three levels: basic principles, practice guides and technical standards.Secondly, for this complex practical system, it is very pivotal to build up the frame of evaluation and to regulate actions of practice. In the third chapter, based on analysis on the ways of architectural investigation implemented by the Society for the Research in Chinese Architecture, the author attempts to classify for measured survey and recordings in normal estate and analyzes primarily representative problems in the operation courses. In the fourth chapter, after demonstrating that the reasons of recording imperfection is designer's absence in the conservation projects, the author brings forward technical strategies and practical methods on spot recordings in the projects and compiles an operational handbook which is fit for construction personnel in order to solve elementarily bottle-neck problem in current conservation projects. Meanwhile, frames and contents on work reports are dissertated and development orientation of managements and techniques are put forward.
