Description
Facadism: A Critical Analysis of Urban Remodeling
Jonathan Richards examines the concept of facadism, which involves preserving historic facades and creating facsimiles in front of new buildings. He argues that this approach can stifle architectural innovation and disconnect the interior and exterior of buildings.
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the causes and effects of facadism in the 20th century, assessing architectural and townscape philosophies, urban conservation principles, heritage planning, and market forces driving urban development.
