Commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act, a critique of the preservation movement-and a bold vision for its future Every day, millions of people enter old buildings, pass monuments, and gaze at landscapes unaware that these acts are possible only thanks to the preservation movement. As we approach the October 2016 anniversary of the United States National Historic Preservation Act, historian Max Page offers a thoughtful assessment of the movement's past and charts a path toward a more progressive future. Page argues that if preservation is to play a central role in building more-just communities, it must transform itself to stand against gentrification, work more closely with the environmental sustainability movement, and challenge societies to confront their pasts. Touching on the history of the preservation movement in the United States and ranging the world, Page searches for inspiration on how to rejuvenate historic preservation for the next fifty years. This illuminating work will be widely read by urban planners, historians, and anyone with a stake in the past.

This book is a comprehensive resource covering the principles and practice of the conservation and restoration of furniture, and other decorative art objects made wholly or partly of wood. It integrates theory with practice to show the principles which govern interaction between wooden objects, the environmental and conservation treatments and the factors which need to be taken into account to arrive at acceptable solutions to conservation problems.

Understanding long term corrosion processes is critical in many areas, including archaeology and conservation. This important book reviews key themes such as the processes underlying corrosion over long periods, how corrosion rates can be measured and materials conserved.After an overview of the study and conservation of metal archaeological artefacts, a group of chapters reviews long term corrosion in metals such as steel, iron and bronze. Other chapters review the impact of environmental factors on corrosion rates. The book also considers instrumental techniques for measuring corrosi

Die Publikation untersucht die Möglichkeiten der raumstrukturellen Aktualisierung der im Bauboom zwischen 1960 und 1970 entstandenen Wohnungsgrundrisse der Nachkriegsmoderne. Die Autoren analysieren bestehende Grundrisstypologien im Kontext der gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen, die die Wohn- und Haushaltsformen inzwischen maßgeblich verändert haben: Inwieweit entsprechen die funktional optimierten Wohneinheiten den Anforderungen der heutigen Gesellschaft und wie anpassungsfähig sind sie für neue Wohnformen? Kann mit kleinen Eingriffen ein angemessenes Ergebnis erreicht werden? Im Theorieteil werden Thesen zu entwerferischen Strategien und politischen Transformationsprozessen zur Disposition gestellt, deren Bedeutung im Projektteil praxisnah anhand aktueller Beispiele verdeutlicht wird. The publication investigates the opportunities for upgrading the spatial structure of apartments created during the post-war building boom between 1960 and 1970. The authors analyze typical existing layouts in the context of social developments which, in recent decades, have led to significant changes in the form of living and in the structure of households. To what extent do the functionally optimized housing units meet the requirements of today’s society, and how adaptable are they to new forms of living? Is it possible to achieve a workable result with small interventions? In the theoretical part the authors discuss theories on design strategies and political transformation processes, the importance of which is demonstrated in the project part using practical contemporary examples.
