High vertical form in architecture demonstrates a tendency towards something higher or divine, something beyond the ordinary life, more than something earthly, as if it is leading us, or helping us to hear voices and sound, or perhaps to see more clearly. High vertical form in architecture is not exclusively associated with religion. It is by all means a power, and demonstration of power. In the case of construction intervention of such objects, two problems immediately emerge: the first concerns the usual and expected approach, in the most number of cases, to keep the role and geometry of constructive, now damaged elements. This situation can be additionally complicated by request, or better to say a need, which is very often present, to strengthen those elements with respect to its original state. Other, perhaps even bigger problems, concerns the possibility of embedding. In this article ten minarets and church towers are presented, carefully chosen as representatives from threatened cultural heritage towers. The computer program SAP 2000 was used to analyze the towers with shell elements. Analysis has been conducted with altered mechanical properties of the materials towers are built from as follows: modulus of elasticity, Poison’s coefficient and specific weight of the material for the cases of better material characteristics and bad characteristics of the material in relation to the actual situation.

Successful realisation of any task assigned, including the reconstruction of damaged, or neglected buildings, requires methodical approach. If we are considering buildings of cultural-historical heritage, methodology of their reconstruction is set in more strict form than the one of ordinary buildings. Confirmation of this statement could be found within the legal regulations which, underlying the importance of cultural-historical heritage, specifically define what kinds of objects these are. A number of specialists of specific professions should participate in the process of reconstruction, especially important being the following ones: investor, beneficiary, architects and town planners, civil construction engineers of different specialties, particularly specialists in the fields of structuring, soil mechanics, geodesist, geologists, conservators and restaurateurs, archaeologists and art historians. This paper gives a framework methodological approach for realisation of reconstruction of buildings (or ensembles) of cultural-historical heritage. Furthermore, the paper gives orientation cell-chart of the order of above described activities � the levels of detection and diagnostics of object damages. Starting from the assumption that a valid detection has been preformed, including the set definition of the causes of object damages, and considering buildings' function(s), it is possible to make a decision on measures to be taken in order to restore building's functions, or in other words on their future status. With this purpose a cell-chart will be given, outlining a number of actions to be undertaken within repair work and reinforcement of the damaged buildings.
