SURVEY OF HISTORICAL HOUSES IN THE ETHNOGRAPHIC MUSEUM OF TRANSYLVANIA "ROMULUS VUIA" CLUJ-NAPOCA

Abstract

A measured drawing is a precise one, to scale, which accurately shows the real situation of the investigated building. Historical architecture of interest for cultural heritage deserves to be documented whenever we have this possibility, and the 1st year practice at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, Cluj-Napoca offers this opportunity through survey. Drawings are a means of recording, providing information impossible to establish in any other way. They show the correct proportions, are clear and explicit, are measurable and record the subsequent additions of the studied object, a very important aspect from the point of view of the structure. Through the project carried out within the discipline "Practice year 1" at the Ethnographic Museum of Transylvania "Romulus Vuia", Cluj-Napoca, the need for practical training of architectural students in the field of surveying the historical architectural heritage and the preparation of the survey sketches necessary in the field of architecture was answered. The purpose of this work is to form a good understanding of the context and the Transylvanian cultural landscape, the development of the capacity for projective synthesis, in the functional, spatial-geometric and constructive ensemble of the object of vernacular architecture, and, last but not least, promoting authentic heritage architecture
