Facades of buildings are of special importance for the preservation of the traditional architectural appearance of cities. The façade of the building is a living expression of the era in which it was built and it is an integral part of history. Therefore, demolition of buildings declared as historical or cultural heritage sites is categorically unacceptable. It is necessary to carry out their reconstruction work, keeping the facade intact. In Tbilisi, back in the 70s of the last century, the restoration of houses with balconies began, and today the rehabilitationreconstruction of old neighborhoods is being successfully carried out. Many famous buildings have been completely renovated as a result of the reconstruction, but sometimes it is necessary to completely renovate the interior of the building. The main problem at this time is to maintain the stability of the façade walls, which often, during the reconstruction process, no longer have any connection with the main frame part. That is why they are temporarily strengthened. Due to the conditions of the reconstruction, the reinforcement constructions are arranged in different ways and after the completion of the works, the facade becomes an integral part of the new building again. In recent years, several such interesting reconstruction works have been carried out in Tbilisi.
