Abstract. The project for restoring and valorizing the “Jumelț” iron furnace historical monument dating from the 19th century and located in Zimbru village, Arad County has been substantiated by a series of analyses and specialized investigations. The landscape study, based on a hybrid methodology, has led to a specific set of knowledge of the local physical and social conditions and to the highlighting of the relations between the heritage object and its proximity. In conclusion, the knowledge generated by the landscape research has directly influenced the design process, has indicated the legitimacy of reconnecting the heritage monument to its context, as a non-speculative design approach, and has also facilitated the integration of sustainable development measures.
