Materials, Technologies and Practice in Historic Heritage Structures
ISBN: 9789048126835 / Angielski / Twarda / 371 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The planners cannot go out today from a tabula rasa situation anymore. Environmental and sustainability issues have already formed the public idea that a 'greenbelt' of our cities is necessary, a kind of fortification leading to intensive development in towns inside a clearly delimited area within the surrounding nature. Since building on the periphery is limited, and the existing built substance has a certain cultural, architectural or at least environmental value, upgrading of existing buildings gains more and more ground from the design of new buildings. Masonry has been already... The planners cannot go out today from a tabula rasa situation anymore. Environmental and sustainability issues have already formed the public idea ... |

Building Conservation Philosophy
ISBN: 9781873394564 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. This is a book about ideas rather than techniques. Public thirst for visible evidence of the past is not, as it is often represented, a recent phenomenon. It was already well developed when an overseer of ancient monuments was appointed in sixth-century Rome. But if the desire to preserve aspects of the past is to do more than respond to popular whims and fashions or represent the personal views of ivory-towered scholars and specialists, it needs to have some kind of solid logical basis. Philosophical questions are raised at every turn. On what basis can buildings be singled out as... This is a book about ideas rather than techniques.
