A PROPOSED METHOD OF MAKING DETAILED LOCAL PLANS FOR THE AREAS WITH CULTURAL VALUES AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE CENTRE OF GRUDZIĄDZ
Języki publikacji
Abstrakty
The present report which is a kind of a study and o f a plan is the competition work that has been awarded the 1st prize in the strict competition o f the Society o f Polish Town-Planners in 1978. The object o f the competition was to work out a method o f drawing detailed local plans for the areas with cultural values and to verify it on the example of Grudziądz. This problem has gained lately in importance in Poland; the number o f works on the revalorization o f the areas with cultural values has grown in an avalanchelike way. Different approaches have been adopted, some o f them very interesting. There exists however a need to standardize elaborations and to adopt principles that might be applied not only in the towns o f great historic interest but also in the average ones which make the most numerous group. Grudziądz, situated on the lower Vistula in the Pomerania, is a medium-size town (92 thousand inhabitants at present). Despite individual highly valued historic monuments, its mediaeval outline and an imposing panorama o f mediaeval granaries, the town was rebuilt in the 19th century in such a way that nowadays it is regarded as a town o f an average historic value, although its 19thcentury buildings undoubtedly deserve some interest. The basic assumption o f the presented method is a complex re" cognition o f the town, and especially o f its conditioning and cultural and natural environment, which is in line with tendencies adopted at the UNESCO general conference held at Nairobia in 1976. Such a recognition makes it possible to understand characteristic specific features o f the town and to draw proper conclusions on its present and future development that should offer a harmonious continuation o f the ages-long history and traditions o f the town. The article describes a complete proposal o f the studies and elaborations, partially already in use and partially suggested for the first time. It is the most comprehensive and complete proposal that has ever been pushed forward in Poland. The proposal combines into a standardized system the elaborations pertaining both to town-planning and to a specific cultural and monumental character o f the area. It has been agreed that the level o f exactness of the elaboration should depend upon cultural values o f the complex and its elements. To this end the reports have been divided into three groups denoted with letter symbols: FUNDAMENTAL (P) — obligatory for every settlement unit o f historic merit, PARTICULAR or SPECIALISTIC (S) — obligatory only for certain more significant units or their parts and FUNDAMENTAL — PARTICULAR (PS) which may be carried out to a different extent: more general (then they have a quality o f a fundamental report) and particular. The phase ” 0 ” envisages the gathering of materials on three groups o f problems. The first o f them are guide-lines from supreme plans o f land development, guide-lines o f economic planning bodies and o f the Voivodship Monuments Conservator, and finally o f the Nature Conservator. The second group covers all sorts o f recording including a technical condition o f the buildings, their utilization, proprietorship, density o f population, technical infrastructure and communication system. It is also suggested that at that stage a study should be carried out o f the cultural environment with a chronological stratification and local valorization (a cultural consiguration o f the area, greenery, water system, roads, streets, fquares and buildings). Analyses and studies for a draft plan will be prepared in the 1st stage. They cover the following problems: climate, a record o f lands (with postulates on the protection o f arable lands), a sub- -terranean structure o f the area, a geological study recording o f the natural forms o f land configuration, an ecosphere o f the natural plant environment, contamination and arduousness o f the environment, isolation (with regard to selected housing interiors or floors at individual tiers), studies o f the landscape o f the historic complex as a whole as well as o f the interior o f streets and squares, a record of green plots, a kind o f the covering o f streets and squares, building materials, roofs’ shapes and covering, studies on the colouring o f buildings with a chronological stratification in order to find out the colouring o f urbanistic interiors, a study record of historic forms o f buildings’ interiors, details and equipment, an analysis o f a local character of existing buildings and shaping the new housing constructions neighbouring historic and traditional complexes, a spatial structure o f the complex with a delineation o f plots, basic horizontal and vertical communication and height of building structures (the isolation o f the complexes spatially uniform), a historical functional structure o f the town, historical lines o f its development, illumination o f the urban interiors as well as signs and advertisements, tourism (general guide-lines for the region or a detailed analysis with a specification o f routes of sight-seeing). A collective analysis o f the hitherto materials and elaborations is envisaged at the end o f this phase and also suggestions on the verification o f plans at a higher level as well as a specification o f the assumptions for a local fundamental plan. A variant rendering o f the plan will be worked out in the 2nd stage, explaining also functional and spatial links between the area covered by the plan and the adjoning lands. The third phase will consist in elaborating a proper draft plan based on a chosen variant o f the conception. In view o f long-term revalorization processes a detailed plan should rather have a character o f a strategic plan than o f a detailed draft. An attempt has been made to work out for the plan a new form o f urbanistic recording which would be more flexible and at the same time would offer a possibility for a more complete rendering o f these elements, the execution o f which in a proposed form and with a given function is considered indispensable. The plan contains conservation guide-lines in the field o f protection zones, structures to be preserved, endangered structures that require an immediate intervention, areas destined for housing construction with definite requirements as to the structure, dimensions and bordering lines as well as losses to be made up, with a specification o f the principles o f their shaping and also a delineation o f areas and buildings o f different utilization and a possibility to operate with groups o f joint functions, and finally a delineation o f communication, greenery and water systems. A detailed scope o f the information and mode o f its representation have been given in a legend of the draft (1:1000) translated into English. Moreover, it has been proposed to prepare a report on the staging and mode o f execution, with a specification o f technology and sort o f executors for the nearest stage. Endeavours have been made to ensure that studies and elaborations will be simple for the realisation by less specialized groups, taking into account a present situation when there are only high- class specialists and many towns that wait for revalorization plans.
