Explanation:
IMO najprościej i najlepiej. Tutaj chodzi bardziej o ludzi, którzy wpadli na całą koncepcję rekonstrukcji, a nie robotników, którzy jej ostatecznie dokonali, więc szedłbym bardziej w kierunku hasła skupiającego się na idei, a nie na czynie.

Nawet mógłbym się pokusić o słowo "architect", ale tutaj mam pewne wątpliwości na poziomie kontekstu. Bo jeśli tematyka jest budowlana, to wtedy ktoś mógłby to odebrać dosłownie jako samych "architektów", którzy np. projektowali poszczególne budynki, a nie jako twórców całej inicjatywy w sensie ogólnym.
