Description and Table of Contents
Description
Sir Bernard Feilden's "Conservation of Historic Buildings" surveys the fundamental principles of conservation in their application to historic buildings, and provides the basic information needed by architects, engineers and surveyors for the solution of problems of architectural conservation in almost every climatic region of the world. This paperback edition is organized into three complementary parts: in the first the structure of buildings is dealt with in detail; the second focuses attention on the causes of decay and the materials they affect; and the third considers the practical role of the architect involved in conservation and rehabilitation. It is aimed at architects and others concerned with conservation, as well as lay people with various kinds of responsibility for historic buildings.
Table of Contents
