ABSTRACT Despite that large investments have been made by the European Union in restoring and preserving heritage damaged after the Kosovo War 1998–99, there have been no previous attempts to gain more in-depth knowledge about the implementation and success of the interventions. Organisations involved in funding and facilitating architectural interventions in post-conflict zones may have differing aims and agendas that influence selection and methods, and ultimately the results. This paper aims to shed light on a pioneering project carried out on damaged kullas, massive masonry towers connected to farmsteads, in Kosovo 2001–02. Kullas were systematically attacked and burned during the conflict. The methodology is based on interviews with involved people and on documentation that is publically available, since it is crucial to uncover the aims and agendas of involved actors if one wishes to understand how and why decisions were made. In the end, what was deemed most important in the process was not the reconstruction in itself, but rather the development of craftsmen's skills and the need to create a dialogue on the values of Kosovo heritage. The paper shows how the reconstruction of built heritage can facilitate processes of dialogue in conflict areas.

冲突后重建和遗产进程

摘要 尽管欧盟在恢复和保护 1998-99 年科索沃战争后受损的遗产方面进行了大量投资，但之前没有尝试更深入地了解干预措施的实施和成功。参与资助和促进冲突后地区建筑干预的组织可能有不同的目标和议程，这些目标和议程会影响选择和方法，并最终影响结果。本文旨在阐明 2001-02 年在科索沃受损的 kullas（与农庄相连的大型砖石塔）上开展的开创性项目。库拉斯在冲突期间遭到有系统的袭击和焚烧。该方法基于对相关人员的访谈和公开可用的文件，因为如果人们希望了解决策的方式和原因，那么揭示相关参与者的目标和议程至关重要。最后，在这个过程中被认为最重要的不是重建本身，而是工匠技能的发展以及就科索沃遗产的价值进行对话的必要性。本文展示了建筑遗产的重建如何促进冲突地区的对话进程。
