The preliminary design must include a justification for scientific and design decisions, which is based on an analysis of the results of the research. Since individual sections of research reports, despite the completeness of the information they contain, as a rule, do not provide enough of a picture, it is usually necessary to include a summary of them in the text part of the project. At the same time, the following tasks are set: 1) to characterize what, according to the research, the monument is at the moment and to what extent the original elements of the original architecture and the architecture of subsequent periods have been preserved in it; 2) highlight in detail which of the lost forms of the monument can be accurately reconstructed based on the information obtained during the study.

Characteristics of the degree of preservation of elements from different periods can only be presented verbally, but for monuments with a complex construction history it is also advisable to present graphic cartograms that give a clear idea of ​​what time different parts of the building or elements of its design and decor belong to. The detail of such cartograms reflects the degree of completeness of the research performed. It is generally customary to present the plans of the monument in the form of cartograms, which gives a clear picture of the sequence of its composition (Fig. 61).

61. Residential building XVII-XIX centuries. in the Ordynsky deadlock in Moscow. Plan with cartogram of masonry at different times 1 - mid-17th century; 2 - second half of the 17th century; 3 - end of the 17th century; 4 - mid-17th century; 5-1770s; 6 - XIX century; 7 - XX century (according to I.A. Kiselev)

But for buildings that have undergone multiple reconstructions, the surface of the walls of which is a conglomerate of masonry from different times, sometimes it is also necessary to make cartograms of facades, sections or developments of walls (Fig. 62).

62. Development of the walls of the refectory chamber of the Church of Sergius in the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery (fragment). Cartogram of masonry at different times 1 - mid-16th century; 2 - mid-17th century; 3 -XVIII centuries; 4th -19th centuries

Cartograms can be combined with measurement drawings, but in cases where the drawings are more dense, it is advisable to attach them in the form of separate additional diagrams.

Analysis of the identified possibilities for reliable reconstruction of the lost forms of the monument serves as an immediate basis for further restoration design, so it should be given special attention. When describing the information received about the previously existing architectural forms of the monument, it is necessary not only to list what of the lost can be reconstructed, but to very clearly and objectively characterize the degree of completeness and accuracy of the data obtained.

If the material allows it, it is very desirable to present the collected data on the original appearance of the monument and on the main stages of subsequent changes in its appearance in the form of a graphic reconstruction or a series of graphic reconstructions. Such a clear illustration of the study makes it possible to trace the history of the architectural development of the monument, which is important for the purposes of developing a restoration solution, since it helps to more fully assess the significance of certain features of the structure and its later layers (Fig. 63).

63. Research of the belfry of the St. Sophia Cathedral in Novgorod (according to Yu.E. Krushelnitsky). a - cartogram of masonry at different times; b - reconstruction of the belfry of the 15th century; c - reconstruction of the belfry of the 16th century; d - reconstruction of the belfry of the 17th century; d - restoration project

But graphic reconstructions, especially when it comes to the most significant monuments, often have independent scientific significance, providing the basis for important conclusions of the historical and architectural order.

Only in some exceptional cases, graphic reconstructions of the lost appearance of a building can claim impeccable validity in all its details. For the most part, the researcher performing them has to complete the visual representation by supplementing precisely reproduced details with others, which, due to insufficient data, are shown tentatively, based on the use of analogies or schematically. All such hypothetical points must be specified in the text. In addition, it is advisable to make graphical distinctions between what is shown to be based on compelling evidence and what is not. In diagrams and perspective drawings it is sometimes difficult to introduce such a distinction, but for large-scale orthogonal drawings it is quite possible.

An important part of the preliminary restoration design is the fundamental justification for the decision made, based on the assessment of the monument and its existing condition. To do this, first of all, the historical and artistic significance of the monument as a whole must be characterized, the historical and artistic value of the main later layers must be determined, and those of them that do not have such value and whose presence negatively affects the aesthetic perception of the monument must be identified. Based on this, the attitude towards the layers reflected in the project is formulated. In addition, it is necessary to justify the proposed restoration additions and an objective assessment of the degree of documentary validity of their restoration. Here it is decided to what extent new inclusions should be visually highlighted. It should also be considered how the proposed restoration changes may affect the existing ensemble connections of the monument. Finally, it must be shown how the restoration solution is consistent with the future use of the monument and the envisaged adaptation work.

The preliminary design drawings present the main projections of the monument. They not only depict the appearance that the monument should ultimately receive, but also characterize the planned restoration work. An idea of ​​the essence of restoration changes, which can be formed by comparing design drawings with measurements, most often turns out to be insufficient. It is necessary that the design drawings themselves contain information about the volume and nature of the restoration intervention. Therefore, on construction plans it is customary to show proposed disassemblies and additions with special symbols (usually hatching) (Fig. 64).

64. Example of submitting a restoration project. Residential building XVII-XIX centuries. in the Ordynsky deadlock in Moscow. Plan (according to I.A. Kiselev) 1 - restoration of masonry; 2 - dismantling the masonry; 3 - zone of major and additional research during the restoration; 4 - elements to be clarified

For complex and critical cases, the same notation system should be given on other projections (Fig. 65, 66).

65. Example of project submission Facade of the Perkuno House in Kaunas (architectural restoration. D. Zaretskienė, G. Janiukštis) 66. Example of submitting a restoration project Facade of the Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Smolensk 1 - restoration of plinth masonry; 2 - restoration of masonry from large bricks; 3 - dismantling the masonry; 4 - reconstructed roofs; 5 - areas of exposure of the open masonry of the monument; 6- identification of broken old parts; 7 - existing ground level

The well-known incompleteness and conventionality of the preliminary restoration design, caused by the need to develop it before the monument is fully revealed, are also reflected in a certain way in the form of presentation of the project. The fact that the restoration of various elements at this stage of work can be documented with varying degrees of accuracy, first of all requires appropriate reservations in the explanatory note, but is usually also reflected in the drawing graphics. It is customary to highlight in the drawings everything that is shown conditionally, preliminary and designed for clarification during restoration work, during the corresponding disassembly. Such elements are usually shown with a dotted line or accompanied by some other symbol. To do this, inscriptions with all the necessary explanations are often made in the margins of the drawing.

The system for setting dimensions in the drawings of the preliminary restoration design also has some features. Thus, the designation of the axes on the plans is given only for general orientation and the possibility of correlating the drawings with the text, since with the irregular shape that the monument often has, the known curvature, variable thickness and non-parallelism of the walls, there are no geometrically correct axes. Sometimes the axes are not marked at all. For the same reason, the vertical marks shown in the drawings are rather conditional, since not only the horizontal divisions of the facades, but often the ceilings are significantly inclined and do not have a single level. Therefore, only some main dimensions are included in the drawings of the main projections, but a linear scale is necessarily attached to them. The dimensions of those elements that are subject to restoration are indicated in more detail, and it is important to link them to fixed points of the existing parts of the monument.

The preliminary design must also include a list of necessary measures for the engineering strengthening of the monument, which require the development of special projects. It should formulate special requirements for carrying out restoration work, due to the presence of paintings, stucco, carved parts, unique designs, accident rates of individual parts of the monument or other specific conditions.

The main research materials are appended to the preliminary restoration design: historical information, a set of drawings of architectural and archaeological measurements, reports on archaeological research and a description of soundings. The project is accompanied by an engineering, structural and technological conclusion characterizing the structural and technical condition of the monument, the causes and nature of the ongoing destructive processes. This also includes, depending on the characteristics of the monument and the research being carried out, the conclusion of the restoration artist on the presence of remains of ancient paintings and their condition, the conclusion of the laboratory for the study of samples and other additional materials.

Since before the start of restoration work it is impossible to determine in advance with the required accuracy the volume of upcoming work, estimate documentation at the preliminary design stage is most often developed in the form of financial estimates with the subsequent issuance of detailed estimates as the monument is unveiled.
