Conserving 20th-Century Architecture: The Conservation Management Plan

Description

This book offers an international overview of how to apply the Conservation Management Plan (CMP) to the 20th-century architectural heritage. Although the CMP is universally considered a fundamental tool for sustainable management of the built heritage, the application to 20th-century buildings is still limited. The book illustrates selected case studies from different countries to discuss how best to preserve the authenticity of the original materials, manage changes in use, engage users and stakeholders in this process, and make conservation and sustainability work together. "Conserving 20th-century architecture" will provide insights for scholars and students and assist architects in drafting an effective conservation management plan.  Preface Contents An International Overview The Conservation Management Plan for Twentieth-Century Architecture 1 Innovative Materials and Tools for the Conservation of Twentieth-Century Architecture 2 The Conservation Management Plan 3 The Getty Foundation’s ‘Keeping It Modern’ Initiative 4 The CMP of the University Collegi of Urbino (2015–2017) 5 On the Role of Funding and the Nature of the Funder References A Multidisciplinary Research for the Conservation Management Planning of the Urbino University Collegi 1 The University Collegi of Urbino: Architecture, Society, Heritage and Landscape 2 The Colleges 1962–1983, the Construction of a New Part of the City 2.1 The Collegio Del Colle (1962–65) 2.2 The Great Expansion: The New Colleges (1973–83) 3 The Challenges of Today 4 The Conservation Management Plan 2015–2018: Work Phases and Activities References Conserving Modern Heritage.
