"Architecture in Conservation" addresses the problems museums and
heritage organizations face in their attempts to adapt old
buildings and historic sites to meet the needs of both
administrators and visitors. More specifically, this book discusses
how to integrate new buildings into historic sites. James Strike
answers for example, the question of how to create a visitors'
center at Stonehenge.
These problems become still more complex when budgets are minimal
and when damage to the environment or setting is a distinct
possibility. "Architecture in Conservation" argues that members of
the heritage industry must respond sensitively to the limitations
or potential of the environment. The book contains a number of
international case studies which illustrate both good and bad
examples of building practice and is a helpful handbook for those
commissioning heritage work.
