Book Description
“From such well-known and long-vexed sites as the Athenian Acropolis to more contemporary locales like the Space Age Modernist capital city of Brasília, the conflicting and not always neatly resolvable forces that bear upon preservation are addressed as clearly and thoughtfully as the general reader could hope for.”―New York Review of Books
“…an astonishing feat of research, compilation and synthesis.”―Context
The book delivers the first major survey concerning the conservation of cultural heritage in both Europe and the Americas. Architectural Conservation in Europe and the Americas serves as a convenient resource for professionals, students, and anyone interested in the field. Following the acclaimed Time Honored, this book presents contemporary practice on a country-by-country and region-by-region basis, facilitating comparative analysis of similarities and differences. The book stresses solutions in architectural heritage protection and the contexts in which they were developed.
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The presentation of some countries seems modest, but in this book we have our first effort at a genuinely objective and coherent international perception of the accomplishments of individual nations." -
Conservation News (Warsaw)"Much to consider here, and the authors, experts in their disciplines and capable writers of clear, solid prose, guide us unfailingly through the issues and the regions." -
Museum"After having analyzed the varied situations and with knowledge of the different conservation methods undertaken regionally, [this book] shows merit in its highlighting specific laws and regulations and restoration projects in the context of their particular cultural values." -
Helvelius (Italy)"Abundantly supplied with references and bibliographic sources, the book is a convenient resource for any design, planning, preservation, or policy professional involve in conservation, restoration, rehabilitation, or preservation, which at some point can mean any of us." - Stanley Stark, FAIA for Oculus, Winter 2011.
