THE PROBLEMS OF EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCH BUILDINGS OF HISTORICAL VALUE – CHANGING USES OVER THE YEARS
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 21
Abstract
There are many Eastern Orthodox church buildings throughout the Lublin Province. Over the years, these architectural objects have undergone multiple transformations, both in terms of changing religious denominations and rituals and also adaptation to new functions, such as warehousing. This article classifies and presents the transformations carried out in selected Eastern Orthodox churches in the Lublin province. By using comparative analysis of the buildings’ primary condition and their current state, it was possible to identify the risks and opportunities arising from the process of adapting these buildings and their rich historical background. Additionally, the article includes a subjective assessment of the adaptation works and their influence on the physical form of the Eastern Orthodox churches examined. To present the adaptation methods currently applied to religious buildings located in Poland, this article focuses on examples of already-transformed properties that used to have a religious function in the past, but that have now been turned into commercial properties.

A comprehensive design of a building along with the development of a surrounding land may counterbalance the tendency of housing estates comprising houses built on the basis of “ready-made projects” - which have no refer...
Rheological redistribution of stresses in multi-layered beams
The paper concerns problems of rheology in wooden structures reinforced with polyester-glass composite bars glued to them by means of epoxy resin. A theoretical model of the behaviour of a multi-layered beam is presented...
