Cultural heritage identifies and preserves past achievements for
the benefit of future generations. Examining the extent to which
heritage preservation is feasible in an era governed by modernism
and globalization is essential for both regional development and
cultural conservation. Conservation, Restoration, and Analysis of
Architectural and Archaeological Heritage provides innovative
insights into digital technologies that have produced important
methodological changes in the documentation, analysis, and
conservation of cultural heritage. The content within this
publication represents the work of digital restoration, inclusive
communication, and reality-based representation. It is a vital
reference source for software developers, sociologists,
policymakers, tourism managers, and academicians seeking coverage
on digital technologies and data processing in cultural heritage.

This new volume addresses the lasting contribution made by Central
European emigre designers to twentieth-century American design and
architecture. The contributors examine how oppositional stances in
debates concerning consumption and modernism's social agendas taken
by designers such as Felix Augenfeld, Joseph Binder, Josef Frank,
Paul T. Frankl, Frederick Kiesler, Richard Neutra, and R. M.
Schindler in Europe prefigured their later adoption or rejection by
American culture. They argue that emigres and refugees from fascist
Europe such as Gyoergy Kepes, Paul Laszlo, Victor Papanek, Bernard
Rudofsky, Xanti Schawinsky, and Eva Zeisel drew on the particular
experiences of their home countries, and networks of emigre and
exiled designers in the United States, to develop a humanist,
progressive, and socially inclusive design culture which continues
to influence design practice today.
