Abstract

Historic preservation, which began as a grassroots movement to save historic buildings, now represents the cutting edge in a cultural revolution focused on 'green' architecture and sustainability. Historic Preservation: An Introduction to Its History, Principles, and Practice provides comprehensive coverage of the many facets of historic preservation: the philosophy and history of the movement, the role of government, the documentation and designation of historic properties, sensitive architectural designs and planning, preservation technology, and heritage tourism, plus a survey of architectural styles. This third edition addresses new subjects, including descriptions of advanced technologies, such as the use of drones to survey inaccessible sites and structures, 3D printing to replicate lost artifacts, and the concept of Zero Net Carbon for building design and reuse. It includes an enhanced discussion of philosophical approaches to preservation, and a broader review of current interpretation trends, including new case studies addressing teh diversity of heritage interpretation efforts.
