Reviews

This book breaks new ground and is warmly recommended. Context Through a series of voices, this book effectively presents many of the theoretical challenges of the conservation of modern architecture. The book is particularly adept at differentiating the approach towards conservation of twentieth century and post-war buildings from that of more traditional buildings and conservation... (It) is a welcome voice in the field of preservation and conservation and is written in a manner that can add to the knowledge of professionals already working with these resources. APT Bulletin
