Session
Architecture and Spatial Planning
Description
Kosovo, as well as many other parts of the Balkan region, has found itself in the midst of the necessary development processes and the long-term importance of protecting and rehabilitating cultural heritage monuments. The social and political upheavals of the twentieth century have forced the rapid transformation of existing urban centers, and sometimes the gradual and sometimes violent destruction of historical and cultural structures. Other areas, of rural and agricultural origin, are being transformed into administrative centers of various character. The peripheral layout, the chaotic development within the city, the incoherent architectural expression and the overloaded infrastructure are the other symptoms, all with a devastating effect on the historical essence and the monuments both in the contextual and the physical aspect. With this paper I have tried to give an overview of the course of history for the monuments of historical and cultural heritage and the necessary interventions for the preservation and longevity of these monuments by referring to international maps and recommendations in this field.

Kosovo, as well as many other parts of the Balkan region, has found itself in the midst of the necessary development processes and the long-term importance of protecting and rehabilitating cultural heritage monuments. The social and political upheavals of the twentieth century have forced the rapid transformation of existing urban centers, and sometimes the gradual and sometimes violent destruction of historical and cultural structures. Other areas, of rural and agricultural origin, are being transformed into administrative centers of various character. The peripheral layout, the chaotic development within the city, the incoherent architectural expression and the overloaded infrastructure are the other symptoms, all with a devastating effect on the historical essence and the monuments both in the contextual and the physical aspect. With this paper I have tried to give an overview of the course of history for the monuments of historical and cultural heritage and the necessary interventions for the preservation and longevity of these monuments by referring to international maps and recommendations in this field.
