Showcasing a range of homes, churches, barns, commercial, and
industrial buildings from across the UK, this book demonstrates the
SPAB philosophy that good new architecture can sit happily
alongside old and is preferable to pastiche. Building on the
experience of professionals in the historic environment, the
authors explore the approach, the design process, the material
palette and technical considerations in creating enduring,
sustainable buildings. It has never been more important to
understand how old buildings can be adapted to make them useful and
sustainable in the future. “Good conservation demands a clear and
rigorous contemporary approach for new work just as much as it
requires delicacy and respect in dealing with the past. In this
book, Roger and Iain skilfully guide us through the work of some of
the best examples, their erudition underscored by a deep
understanding of conservation theory and principles.” Kevin
