Description

While many buildings from before the Second World War are protected, many important post-war structures face indifference or even hostility. This book by Routledge addresses the urgent need to protect these significant buildings from decay and destruction. It explores why many modern buildings lack formal recognition and why they are often mistreated or demolished. Readers will examine the philosophical and practical issues involved in the conservation of modern architecture. The text looks at the specific problems faced by builders and preservationists when dealing with post-war designs. It is a necessary resource for anyone interested in historic preservation and the challenges of maintaining architectural merit in the modern era.
