Description
A History of Architectural Conservation expands knowledge about the conservation of ancient monuments, works of art and historic buildings.
It includes the origins of the interest in conservation within the European context, and the development of the concepts from Antiquity
and the Renaissance to the present day. Jokilehto illustrates how this development has influenced international collaboration in the
protection and conservation of cultural heritage, and how it has formed the principal concepts and approach to conservation and restoration
in today's multi-cultural society.
This book is based on archival research of original documents and the study of key restoration examples
in countries that have influenced the international conservation movement. Accessible and of great interest to students and the general
public it includes conservation trends in Europe, the USA, India, Iran and Japan.
Audience
Architects, conservators, surveyors, architectural historians, archaeologists, conservation officers, and students in these fields.
