Three proposals for the reconstruction of the eagle pavilion in the Branicki Garden in Białystok – designs, method selection and execution

This article describes three reconstruction designs for the Eagle Pavilion (Pawilon pod Orłem, trans. by author) developed by three architects at different moments in history and created using different methods in accordance with the technical means available at the time. The article presents a comparative analysis of the methodologies applied with these designs with regard to the context of the historical accuracy of reconstruction. In the conclusion of the article, I refer to the dilemmas related to the justification of restoring historical objects understood as the reconstruction of historical space, as well as the risks of conveying improper meaning that bears the appearance of authenticity.
