Historical traditions and cultural and economic tenability of the modern landscape design of the Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans
A unique park within the Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans, now part of Yurii Fedkovych Chernivtsi National University, combines three distinct landscape styles—Italian garden, French regular park, and English landscape park—reflecting its layered historical development. This study reveals how the park's design evolved through different periods, shaped by landscape designers and clergymen, while analyzing its current challenges and proposing innovative solutions to enhance its cultural and economic viability. Notably, the research introduces the concept of a symbolic Bible garden, aiming to create a new tourist attraction that preserves the site's heritage while integrating modern landscape techniques.
Reuse of Immovable Cultural Heritage Sites with Adaptive Elements as a Way of Preservation and Promotion
Adaptive reuse of immovable cultural heritage sites, such as the Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans in Chernivtsi, offers a sustainable approach to preservation while promoting economic growth and tourism. This study highlights that adaptive reuse—where buildings are repurposed for contemporary use without losing authenticity—enhances long-term conservation compared to mere technical protection measures. The research analyzes successful European models (e.g., Hohenwerfen Castle in Austria, Ljubljana Castle in Slovenia, and Carcassona in France) to demonstrate how such adaptations can foster positive reputations, economic benefits, and tourist infrastructure development. For Chernivtsi’s UNESCO-listed site, the study suggests that its current use as a university building, while stable, requires further adaptation to meet evolving tourism needs, making European experiences particularly relevant for guidance.
