Art Shield - a new way of statue conservation
Our creative team designed and built a contemporary installation to protect one of Budapest’s most famous monuments from the frigid winters. Breaking the habit of covering the sculpture with a plastic sheet, a functional yet artistic pavilion came to life at the renewed Vörösmarty Square, located in the heart of the city. The Art Shield protects and highlights the monument at the same time, showing a new way of statue conservation. Although this is our first design that is mostly steel, it fits well with our previous works. During the design phase, we did not only focus on quality, but also on ensuring that the installation can be assembled and dismantled swiftly, and that it is also easy to transport and store. It’s important that the example of the spectacular conservational structure should be followed, therefore, we plan to deliver similar projects in the future.
Functional yet artistic
Our studio has approached the winterization of the monument in Vörösmarty tér from a fresh angle. One of the most frequented squares of Budapest has just emerged refreshed from renovation works, and the monument commemorating the rouser of the nation now also stands renewed. We have created a unique temporary space around the artwork, protecting it from the damaging effect of winter’s frost and thaw. Functionality served as our excuse to twist all ideas of statue conservation and crown the monument with 10-metre-tall steel pavilion of sacral overtones. The statue, now on display again in the winter season as well, and the pavilion together form the new gem of Vörösmarty tér and the Christmas Fair setting the example for other public spaces in Europe.
One of Budapest’s foremost attractions is the annual Advent and Christmas Fair in Vörösmarty tér and right in the middle of it stands the Vörösmarty monument. Having been carved from Carrara marble, this artwork is susceptible to damage by moisture and frost. The temporary installation will be dismantled at the end of the season; its elements can be reassembled in the square again next winter. The huge, arched structure owes its airy quality to its weatherproof steel sheets, while the transparent plexiglass facade protects it from the driving rain.

Restoration of Castello dei Doria a Dolceacqua / LD+SR architetti
RESTORATION, DOLCEACQUA, ITALY
• Architects: LD+SR architetti
• Year:2015
• Lead Architects: Luca Dolmetta, Silvia Rizzo architetti
• Project Team: Arch. Danilo Cupioli, Arch. Paola Pilotto, Arch. Amir Reza Arya
• Structural Engineering : Ing. Mauro Cevoli
• Installations : Ing. Alberto Frisoni
• Designers: Arch. William Meli, Arch. Bernardet Urbanovics
• Cse : Ing. Claudio Perrino
Text description provided by the architects. After widespread interventions of restoration undertaken since the early 90 's, 2012-2015 covered the restoration and consolidation of certain portions of the main external walls of the Castle (sailing North, Savoy bastion minor), the recovery of the main open spaces that surround it in diffuse form the complex, the establishment of a system of trails that leads the visitor to discover different points of perception of landscapes that surround the monument. The "value" of the Castle is the close relationship between Castle and place where it fits. A relationship was so charming by bringing Claude Monet repeatedly to visit Dolceacqua and capture bridge and Castle in a famous painting by 1884 housed in the Musée Marmottan Monet in Paris.
The Castle situated in a dominant position overlooking the village below is in extreme point advantage to control the Valley of the river of the Nervia Valley. The project seeks to enhance the strategic position, making travel to the visitor the different stages of completion of the building discover some enclosed spaces created in the few portions of the building survived the various bombings and ensuing fires over time, but especially a guided path towards the various land control points.
The restoration and strengthening of masonry degraded extensively featured in significant form the surgery completed in 2015. Any need for structural reinforcement or static improvement though it was turned into an architectural project, also of iron parts that, depending on the requirement, have become paths, passages, elements of reconstruction of portions of walls partly missing or being complete detachment. Items always perceived as new parts, reversible and always side by side with existing fit evident
