This book explores the conservation, regeneration and adaptive re-use of Modern architecture.

Provides a grounding for planners and other related professionals in the key concepts associated with conservation and how to apply them in practice.

An Introduction to Architectural Conservation introduces non-specialist architects to the principles behind legislation concerning historic buildings. It is a practical guide to good working practice.

Each architectural design is a new history. To identify what is novel or innovative, we need to consider the present, past and future. We expect historical narratives to be written in words, but they can also be delineated in drawing, cast in concrete or seeded in soil.
