DESCRIPTION
The shortage of development land makes it necessary to recover old spaces. The solutions chosen are many and varied, ranging from a total change of function to an adaptation of the old use, according to the specific problems of each case. This volume presents the different schools and tendencies within the current world of architectural rehabilitation. Despite their plurality, the proposals contained here are characterized by the fact that they integrate the new needs with a maximum respect for the existing structures and concepts.

Building Care
Brian WoodBlackwell |2003 | PDF | 208 pages | 2 Mb
DESCRIPTION
‘Brian Wood rightly confronts the dismissive attitude [towards maintenance work] throughout his thoughtful and profound analysis of the maintenance process… Putting maintenance at the centre of the continuing post-Egan reform is long overdue. There is much more to the industry than great structures such as a bridge or a PFI hospital. New or re-furbished projects also need to work properly and be in continual use, not moth-balled because of defects. This book seeks to advance that debate and the reform process in a very focussed way. I warmly commend it to you and to a wide audience.’
Building care encompasses everything from maintenance to energy conservation. But even though premises-related expenditure typically represents 15% of the running costs of a business, maintenance is still regarded as the ‘Cinderella’ of the construction industry.
Building Care challenges this attitude by elevating maintenance to its proper professional level and explaining new ideas in clear, understandable terms. Practical guidance is offered to those responsible for running buildings - surveyors, facility managers and facility managers – to help them carry out efficient and effective building care services.
Brian Wood reflects the move away from long-term, technology-based maintenance programmes to more customer-focussed practices and covers a range of alternative approaches to looking after buildings and their users.

Conservation of Ruins
J. Ashurst
Butterworth-Heinemann | 0750664290 | 2006 | PDF | 389 pages | 25 Mb
DESCRIPTION
Despite growing international awareness of the presence and significance of ruined buildings and archaeological sites, and the increasingly sophisticated technology available for the collection of data about them, these sites continue to be at risk across the globe. Conservation of Ruins defines and describes these risks, which range from neglect, to destructive archaeology, and even well-meaning intervention in the name of tourism. The book provides detailed, practical instruction on the conservation and stabilisation of ruins by structural and non-structural means, as well as describing the procedures and conditions that need to be in place to ensure the protection of our important historic sites. In considering aspects of architectural conservation, archaeology and ecology together for the first time, this book provides an integrated, holistic view of this international topic that will be essential reading for those working in this field

EDITORIAL REVIEW
"John Ashurst's book is well illustrated, and contains several fascinating and diverse case studies. How do you preserve the 2,000-year-old walls of Israel's Masada? Or, closer to home, the 3m-thick walls of Guildford's 900-year-old Norman castle? Gosport's war-damaged rail terminus makes an intriguing study too and, together with several others projects, these in-depth but very readable examinations is a real enhancement of the whole subject.
Space is given to enunciating conservation principles, which are developed by the contributors into safe practices in a range of fields. Examples are cited throughout, and working methods are described and sketched. The many reasons for movement in structures are examined, as is the ecological impact of Old Brock and his many friends, both above and below the water table.
This is a delightfully illustrated book on a subject that is of as much interest to the layman with an interest in preserving our built heritage as it is to the professional and would-be professional conservator. The book is a delight."
