Description
Revaluing Modern Architecture: Changing Conservation Culture By John Allan A clear and concise exploration of the conservation, regeneration, and adaptive re-use of modern architecture. This book provides a general grounding in the field, its recent history, and current development, including chapters on authenticity, charters, listing, and protection. Case studies and analyses of leading conservation projects, such as the Penguin Pool at London Zoo and Finsbury Health Centre by Lubetkin & Tecton, offer valuable lessons learnt in the conservation of modern heritage buildings. With over 160 photos and drawings, this book is an essential primer for architectural students and practitioners, academics, and those employed in conservation and planning. The book also considers the changing culture of conservation for 'sub-iconic' buildings in relation to de-carbonisation and the climate emergency, suggesting how revaluing modern architecture can help promote a more sustainable future.
