Facadism - the preservation of historic facades, the creation of
facsimiles in front of new buildings and the decorative exercises
of postmodernism - is accused of destroying architectural
innovation, of divorcing the interior and exterior of buildings and
of reducing townscapes to theatre sets. Its defenders describe
facadism as the way urban tradition and progress walk hand in
hand.
Facadism presents a critical analysis of a concept central to the
way in which the city is being remodelled. Assessing architectural
and townscape philosophies and their aesthetics, the principles of
urban conservation, the process of heritage planning and the market
forces of urban development, the book builds a complete picture of
the causes and effects of facadism in the Twentieth Century.
