Third Edition
By
Bernard Feilden, DUniv. DLit, Hon FAIA, FSA, FRIBA, AADipl, CBE, Director, Emeritus ICCROM; Architectural Conservation Consultant
Description
Since its publication in 1982 Sir Bernard Feilden's Conservation of Historic Buildings has become the standard text for architects and
others involved in the conservation of historic structures. Leading practitioners around the world have praised the book as being the
most significant single volume on the subject to be published. This third edition revises and updates a classic book, including completely
new sections on conservation of Modern Movement buildings and non-destructive investigation.
The result of the lifetime's experience
of one of the world's leading architectural conservators, the book comprehensively surveys the fundamental principles of conservation
in their application to historic buildings, and provides the basic information needed by architects, engineers and surveyors for the
solution of problems of architectural conservation in almost every climatic region of the world. This edition is organized into three
complementary parts: in the first the structure of buildings is dealt with in detail; the second focuses attention on the causes of decay
and the materials they affect; and the third considers the practical role of the architect involved in conservation and rehabilitation.
As well as being essential reading for architects and others concerned with conservation, many lay people with various kinds of responsibility
for historic buildings will find this clearly written, jargon-free work a fruitful source of guidance and information.
Audience
Conservators, architects, surveyors, conservation officers, owners of historic buildings, archaeologists
