This study demonstrates the effectiveness of a multi-method approach for the restoration of a historic building (train station) in Poland. The project employed field investigations, laboratory analyses, and close-range photogrammetry to create a Historic Building Information Model (HBIM). This comprehensive data set informed the development of targeted conservation strategies that addressed the station’s specific needs while respecting its historical significance. Interventions prioritized the use of locally sourced and sustainable materials, minimized the visual impact on the exterior, and achieved net-zero emissions through improvements to the building envelope and a switch to a heat pump heating system. Additionally, an intelligent monitoring system was implemented to continuously collect data on environmental conditions and structural displacement. These data will be used to develop a predictive model for future maintenance needs, allowing for a preventative approach to conservation and minimizing resource consumption. Overall, this project serves as a model for integrating advanced technologies in historical building conservation, promoting sustainable practices, and ensuring the longevity of irreplaceable cultural landmarks. The key findings derived from this approach encompass a comprehensive assessment of the station’s condition, optimized conservation strategies, insights from HBIM modeling, and the ongoing benefits of the intelligent monitoring system. Field investigations revealed several areas of concern, such as structural cracks, material deterioration, moisture infiltration, and significant heat loss through the building envelope. This information was crucial for developing targeted conservation strategies. The use of internal thermal insulation systems, particularly capillary active mineral blocks, significantly improved thermal performance. Moisture management interventions, including the restoration of the rainwater drainage system and the application of moisture-proof insulation, reduced reliance on the municipal water supply. The intelligent monitoring system, with sensors measuring temperature, humidity, and structural displacement, plays a crucial role in ongoing conservation efforts. This system allows for continuous monitoring and the development of predictive models, ensuring targeted and preventative maintenance, reducing resource consumption, and extending the lifespan of the building.

The present research aims to advance green energy consumption by integration of energy conversion schemes into buildings, as an inherent part of architectural construction. Realization of such tasks implies variation and adjustment of external shapes of buildings. Particular solutions depend on the chosen types of renewable energy sources, geographic location, and environmental conditions. The novelty of suggested solutions based on the principle of preliminary crowding of solar radiation, but against known analogs concentration of light by mirrors here used not for achieving of high amplitudes, but for diurnal equalization of an energy conversion process. Autodesk software products have been used for adjustment of conceptual schemes, including the models of buildings shaped as right circular, or elliptic, cylindrical reflectors. The basic evaluation carried out for the North Temperate Zone. Obtained results confirm that integration of local energy converters and appropriate modification of external shapes of buildings is more flexible and efficient than the application of centralized solar plants, because of their inexpensiveness and harmonization of beauty and energy efficiency. Application of static self-regulation of illuminance provides a high level of reliability and simplicity in exploitation. Suggested principle provides stepwise promotion of sustainability because it implies not only a passive economy of energy dissipation but also the equipment of architectural objects with inherent modules for active generation of renewable energy. Further development of such an energy sourcing schemes related also with the advancement of general safety (lowering of hazardous voltage) by the transition from common Electrical grid to adaptive local systems.

The purpose of this article is to study the peculiarities of adaptation of cultural heritage buildings to modern urban space using the example of Tbilisi. The issue is topical because the monuments of cultural heritage require preservation and harmonious coexistence with a modern city. Today, cultural heritage monuments are undergoing transformation. Modern additions will create a connection between the past and the present; turn them into public buildings and places of social relations. The monument is nolonger a museum exhibit; it is undergoing evolutionary development along with the city. However, there are some risks. The analysis of the buildings carried out in the city of Tbilisi revealed a variety of approaches to the protection of cultural heritage restoration - reconstruction, conservation and new architecture in historical building-development. This is caused by a number of factors. Each building harmoniously fits into the modern urban space originally, preserving the authentic appearance and balanced approach to new technologies and architectural forms, form a continuous chain of connections from the past to the future, ensure the sustainability, preservation of historical value and reuse of the cultural heritage building. The analysis revealed that the transformation of cultural heritage buildings requires a careful approach, since it is associated with a number of legislative regulations, restrictions, as well as technical and structural problems. Therefore, it is important to analyze and evaluate the general condition of the building structure, describe historical architectural details, etc. in accordance with generally accepted practice. Thus, the process of integrating an old building into a modern one requires the development of a clear plan to protect its historical integrity and sustainability. Public involvement and awareness are important factors for the successful renovation of cultural heritage monuments. The dialogue with the citizens ensures the strengthening of the role of the historicity of the building in the modern urban space.

This article analyzes adapted public spaces within the historical districts of Milan Vesta and Apple Piazza Liberty in the context of architectural strategies that transform the city into a human-oriented and healthy urban environment. Urban Health has become one of the key priorities of contemporary architectural practice. [2] [1] Growing evidence confirms that the physical structure of buildings and public spaces directly influences human psychological, emotional, and social well-being. In this regard, Milan represents a particularly significant case study. Two distinct yet conceptually interconnected examples Apple Piazza Liberty , where a historic square is reinterpreted as a contemporary urban amphitheater (Foster + Partners, 2018) [3], and Vesta , a semipublic social platform located along the historic Brera street (Belingardi, 2022) share a common architectural logic, a new architectural paradigm, respect for the cultural-historical context, spatial strategies, and a tangible impact on urban wellbeing. transformations are not solely the result of largescale projects but also of the introduction of a new architectural paradigm within historical districts through small-scale public spaces that reinforce the relationship between public space, public life, and urban health (peacemaking / urban well-being).
