BOOK

Revaluing modern architecture : changing conservation culture

Allan, John, 1945- author

2022

Overview

The conservation of our architectural heritage is a long-running subject of debate. When do buildings become old enough to warrant special heritage status and protection? Who decides which buildings are historically significant enough to protect and conserve? And what does this mean for building users and owners, who might well be better served if their buildings were less authentic, but more comfortable and usable? Presenting a clear line of sight through these knotty problems, this book explores the conservation, regeneration and adaptive re-use of modern architecture. It provides a general grounding in the field, its recent history and current development, including chapters on authenticity, listing and protection. Case studies drawing on the author's extensive practical experience offer valuable lessons learnt in the conservation of heritage buildings.
