Architecture in Conservation: Managing Development at Historic Sites

By (author) James Strike

| on special |

normal price: R 6 722.95

Price: R 6 050.95

| book description |

One of the problems faced by heritage organizations and museums is adapting old buildings to their needs or building new ones to fit in with historic sites. How exactly do you create a visitor's centre at Stonehenge? The real difficulty lies where the budget is minimal, and the potential damage to the environment or setting enormous. ""Architecture in Conservation"" looks at the need of the heritage industry to respond sensitively to the limitations or potentials of the environment. The book contains a number of international case studies which illustrate both good and bad examples of building practice and is intended as a handbook for those responsible for commissioning heritage work.
