Engineering Elegance at Altitude

Description:

Water towers are a characteristic vertical visual element of today’s townscapes and rural landscapes. We encounter them in urban residential areas, industrial zones, but they are also decisive in the silhouette of villages. Their task is most often to ensure the supply of drinking water to the population, but we often encounter water towers belonging to industrial, railway or agricultural plants.In terms of their appearance, most water towers are simple engineering creations, but in some cases, the creators also placed emphasis on the aesthetic design of the structure.Historical water towers have survived from the 19thcentury, they were built using traditional construction techniques, usually with historicizing architecture. A significant part of the memorial material comes from the period between the two world wars, which is the time of the construction of early reinforced concrete structures; the appearance of the buildings is also determined by this structure. In the second half of the 20thcentury, the material of the towers continued to be reinforced concrete, but dynamic, architecturally sophisticated formal solutions were more common.Our study analyses the historical development of water towers, including their structural development, changes in form, and role in the settlement or landscape.

Modernization of Windows and Doors in Protected Buildings: Possibilities and Their Environmental Impacts

Tamás Horváth Kitti Karolyfi András Veöreös Dóra Szalai Zsolt Szűrös Rita Rebeka Ördög

Publication Name: Chemical Engineering Transactions

Publication Date: 2024-01-01

Volume: 114

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 1051-1056

Description:

During the renovation of protected buildings, strict regulations must be met. Buildings of different ages and protection categories require different structural solutions, including the modernization of windows and doors. In addition to heritage protection aspects, environmental awareness, sustainability, energy efficiency regulations, and the objectives of Fit for 55 and the Green Deal are given a prominent role. The research examines how the different categories of protection appear in Hungary in connection with the replacement of windows and doors and what regulations apply to their renovation. A case study of a historic building examines the effects of the interventions, with particular regard to the reduction of CO2 emissions, with the help of life cycle assessment (LCA) based on a BIM model, using machine and manual calculations. The results show that it is worth staying with the original solid wood material because changing the material – for example, to modern PVC or aluminum triple-layer windows – involves a greater environmental impact. The methodology of the analysis can be used as an analogy for the renovation of other similar buildings and can serve as a basis for issuing different tenders.

Environment Protection - Monument Preservation

András Veöreös

Publication Name: Epites Epiteszettudomany

Publication Date: 2023-01-01

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: Unknown

Description:

The preservation of existing buildings is desirable not only for the purpose of saving architectural values, but equally important is that it is an environmentally friendly-environmentally conscious activity as well, since by renovating existing houses less waste is generated, the environmental impact from transport decreases, the material and energy invested in the structures already built do not get lost and no additional energy is needed for demolition.

The Railway as a Sustainable Heritage: Monument Railways in the Service of Sustainability through the Example of the Győr‒Veszprém Railway Line

András Veöreös Csaba Sándor Horváth

Publication Name: Chemical Engineering Transactions

Publication Date: 2023-01-01

Volume: 107

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 37-42

Description:

Nowadays, sustainability is a term that has been analysed many times in public life, among the technical and social sciences alike, examined from several sides, but at least often voiced. In the study, in relation to the sustainability of a healthy human life, it is examined how railways and their historic preservation contribute to this. As the basis of the research, it was chosen the only standard-gauge railway line in Hungary that is under monument protection railway line No. 11 between Győr and Veszprém. The research is based on the methodology of historical-architectural research: starting from the history of the railway, it explores its architectural and historical values, discusses the creation and importance of protection, and then tries to draw conclusions about the role of the railway line in sustainability by analysing social phenomena, and finally makes proposals for the role of sustainability regarding its increase. The novelty of the study is that it connects the ways of thinking of specialised fields that previously existed side by side. The purpose of monument protection is the preservation of values, which, according to the 20-th-century way of thinking, primarily serves cultural purposes. The monument protection of some parts of the analysed railway line clearly contributed to the preservation of the infrastructure. As an environmentally friendly and sustainable means of transport, the railway plays a prominent role in the healthy preservation of natural areas. This is proven by the history of the examined railway line.

Reconstruction Italian style: Restoration of the san domenico church and monastery, forli, Italy by gabrio funari

András Veöreös

Publication Name: Metszet

Publication Date: 2016-01-01

Volume: 2016

Issue: 5

Page Range: 26-29

Description:

The most important part of restoring old buildings could be described as giving a new function to historical heritage sites. Contemporary construction techniques might need to be applied in such a way as to resist compromising the original building's integrity. This leads to a problem of historical faithfulness best explained by the simple fact that a contemporary rendering system will not adhere to older lime washed walls. Here the clash between original use and technologies has been the motivating factor behind restoration, not the creation of a stand alone architectural statement.
