Conservation and Restoration

This book explores the conservation, regeneration and adaptive re-use of Modern architecture.

This book aims to clearly define the scope for Heritage Building Information Modelling and present cutting edge research findings alongside international case studies, before outlining challenges for the future of HBIM research and practice.

Timber is a timeless construction material and there is a growing movement to use modern methods to repair and maintain heritage structures. What is the best approach in refurbishing timber-framed buildings and how can a modern engineer understand the approaches needed to undertake these processes?

This book brings together the history of construction, materials and structural elements, with the history of conservation. It explains structural decisions made during the construction process which underlies the damage and collapse mechanisms in masonry for different forms of loading.

This guide to structural assessment and restoration of masonry monuments and historical buildings outlines the techniques, materials and design procedures used in line with international guidance and standards. Particularly considering earthquake loading, it presents principles and practice with case studies.

The Bauhaus Building in Dessau, designed by Walter Gropius in 1926, represents a "built manifesto of Bauhaus ideas" and is one of modernism's most important buildings.

A superb visual resource for architects and designer needing inspiration for their next renovation project.

The principal aim of this book is to improve the survey and assessment of traditionally constructed brickwork. It aims to ensure that those who have a cause to survey and assess buildings constructed of traditional (pre-1919) brickwork have a well-developed, clear methodology for undertaking effective, comprehensive surveys.

This is the first of three volumes on specification writing for building conservation. By combining case studies and actual specifications this book provides the reader with an insight into how the National Trust approaches building conservation projects. Volume 1 is divided into two sections. Part 1 provides an overview of the specification pro
