Architectural Conservation in Europe and the Americas

"From such well-known and long-vexed sites as the Athenian
Acropolis to more contemporary locales like the Space Age Modernist
capital city of Brasília, the conflicting and not always
neatly resolvable forces that bear upon preservation are addressed
as clearly and thoughtfully as the general reader could hope
for."--New York Review of Books

"...an astonishing feat of research, compilation
and synthesis."--Context
The book delivers the first major survey concerning the
conservation of cultural heritage in both Europe and the Americas.
Architectural Conservation in Europe and the Americas serves
as a convenient resource for professionals, students, and anyone
interested in the field. Following the acclaimed Time
Honored, this book presents contemporary practice on a
country-by-country and region-by-region basis, facilitating
comparative analysis of similarities and differences. The book
stresses solutions in architectural heritage protection and the
contexts in which they were developed.
