Principles of restoration activity within the concept of the biosphere-compatible cities and settlements paradigm

Contemporary theoretical and methodological models for the restoration of architectural heritage sites are typically based on specialized scientific principles. These principles define historicity, the maximum objectivity in recovering the original state, the preservation of authenticity, the assessment of the value of all stages of the asset's life cycle, among others. This article examines a novel approach to the content and principles for developing and practically implementing architectural heritage restoration programs within an urban context. This approach is founded on the overarching paradigm of conserving and developing the socio-techno-biosphere of the modern city. It is demonstrated that the successful advancement of urban renewal and environmental programs and projects, including the restoration and reconstruction of architectural monuments, is critically dependent on establishing effective implementation mechanisms. These mechanisms are based on a fundamentally new method: a unified urban planning approach to organizing the city's spatial structure. From a practical standpoint, as illustrated by the case study of the reconstruction and restoration of a Constructivist-era cinema building from the 1920s-1930s, this integrated strategy enables addressing restoration challenges within a unified context. This encompasses preserving the historical value of assets for future generations, safeguarding national architectural identity, enhancing the quality of the urban environment and human potential, and leveraging the educational aspect of studying urban history and cultural heritage.
