Abstract

The paper presents a study of the transformations that took place in the urban area under the current circumstances with many financial emergencies and a property market continuously changing, due to the cultural homogenization and social- economical transformation at the global level. The maintenance and preservation programs are most of the times incomplete or shortened and this situation exposes the ensembles to an increased risk, leading to complex degradation process. The degradations that appear in time as a result of normal aging process and the action of climate factors can`t be treated independently. The problems concerning the building`s physics can`t be solved separately from the biological and damp expertise that can significantly influence the behavior in time of the construction elements. Many of the public utility buildings such as hospitals, universities, schools, etc., unlisted on Heritage Protection List are now exposed to severe degradation.
