Description
Summary:Manuel J. Martín-Hernández argues that new developments in conservation theory, as reflected in the Krakow Charter (2000), have important implications for how we understand architectural interventions in historic environments. The new stress on the relationship between conservation and restoration suggests that architects might conceptualize their contemporary interventions as the development of the historic architecture through its continuous "re-design." But for this to occur, he argues, it is important that architects acquire the knowledge and ability to see in the historic building itself the lines of its future development.
