Time Honored: A Global View of Architectural Conservation

Time Honored: A Global View of Architectural Conservation

â€œThe absence heretofore of a comparably thoroughgoing but accessible resource on a topic of such urgent public concern was a glaring lapse that makes this deeply researched, lucidly written, and helpfully annotated book an invaluable addition to the literature.â€â€” New York Review of Books
Time Honored is a comprehensive survey of the practice, theory, and structure of architectural heritage conservation throughout the world. Offering an argument for why architectural conservation is indispensable to modern life, Time Honored describes its parameters and evolution in an historical context, and then methodically presents approaches used in various countries, showing how historic preservation in the West differs from conservation in the rest of the world. Illustrated throughout with overÂ 300 photographs, drawings, maps, and charts. No other book navigates the global conservation programs, policies, and project types so completely.
