Thomas Will: Kunst des Bewahrens
Denkmalspflege, Architektur und Stadt
In a culture of consumption and disposal, monument preservation is more critical than ever. Through the perception of actual losses, the historical and aesthetic interest in antiquities has increasingly developed into an action-oriented art of preservation. Monument preservation as a cultural technique does not reject modernization-an art of destruction-but would like limit its impact. This volume addresses the topic from the perspectives of monument preservation, architecture, and urban planning. Commentaries by architects, monument conservators, scientists and journalists complement the texts. The result is a multifaceted picture of the art of preservation.
