9780582228184: Conservation in the Built Environment

Sinossi

Conservation is becoming an increasingly important topic in many areas of the built environment. Conservation in the Built Environment takes a unique global approach by dealing with all aspects of the built heritage, from principles, policy and legislation to project management, financial and appraisal issues, and conservation philosophy. It examines the principles of repair and conservation as publicized by English Heritage and relates policy and theory to practice by assessing the practical and professional considerations involved. The book further considers policy in the widest sense by covering the whole spectrum of the historic built environment: listed buildings, conservation areas, scheduled monuments and sites, archaelogical remains, world heritage sites, historic parks, gardens and battlefields. Conservation in the Built Environment is essential reading for students of undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses in conservation, and conservation modules on degree courses in architecture, estate management, surveying, planning and building. It will also be of interest to practitioners in all built environment disciplines.
