As today's valued examples of modern architecture age to the point
that preservation is called for, the methods and technology used in
such preservation must be carefully considered so that the design
integrity of the building is maintained. Written by the president
of an organization committed to the documentation and preservation
of modern architecture, this book outlines best practices for
undertaking such efforts and addresses the latest technological
advances in the field. Containing relevant case studies of
preservation projects in the United States and in Europe, this is
the only professional reference for architects dedicated
specifically to the subject of preserving modern architecture.
