Book excerpt: This book examines management of the built cultural heritagethrough the use of the concept of cultural significance. Itconsiders how and why cultural significance is assessed and how itcan be used as an effective focus and driver for managementstrategies and processes. Effective management of the built cultural heritage requires aclear understanding of what makes a place significant (and how thatsignificance might be vulnerable) but the book also emphasises thatthis understanding of cultural significance must inform allactivities in order to ensure that what is important about theplace is protected and enhanced. The book was written in the midst of much fundamentalrethinking, both nationally and internationally, on approaches tothe conservation of our built cultural heritage. Managing BuiltHeritage: the role of cultural significance is analytical andreflective but also draws on real life examples to illustrateparticular issues, looking at current approaches and drawing outbest practice. The authors consider key policies and procedures that need to beimplemented to help ensure effective management and the book willbe useful for specialists in built cultural heritage - conservationofficers, built heritage managers, architects, planners andsurveyors - as well as for facilities and estates managers whosebuilding stock includes listed buildings or buildings inconservation areas.

Download or read book Conservation and Restoration of Built Heritage written by Salvatore D'Agostino. This book was released on 2021-08-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word conservation, when used in the context of the preservation of built heritage, implies an intrinsically complex concept that evolved over time, since it has been influenced by the perception of history throughout time. This volume emphasises why an understanding of the cultural evolution of the conservation approach must be considered a prerequisite for architects and engineers if they are to cooperate in full harmony with historic-artistic culture for the preservation of global built heritage. In particular, the volume highlights how, during the second half of the last century, the preservation process also involved engineering – the science of making practical applications of knowledge – which, for a long time, made an uncritical use of techniques and materials and devised interventions on historical heritage that were heavily invasive. The volume also devotes special attention to the problems related to seismic risk, to which Italy, Greece and Portugal are particularly prone. Problems that emerge during the crisis and reconstruction phases are dealt with in detail, as is scheduled maintenance, as this latter approach always constitutes an improvement in the performance of the monument and is the most appropriate tool for the conservation of the built heritage. Finally, the volume collects examples of building restoration with case studies of many outstanding monuments. The work will appeal to professionals and academics in the broader fields of civil engineering (both geotechnical and structural engineering), architecture, art history, the history of architecture, restoration and cultural heritage management. This book will: Provide a critical reading of the history of conservation; Discuss materials and techniques of ancient architecture; Cover seismic vulnerability and preservation of the historic integrity of the monument; Advocate an approach based on programmed maintenance; Feature numerous case histories, including St Mark’s Basilica in Venice and the complex restoration of the cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris.
