Description: Preservation of Modern Architecture, Hardcover by Prudon, Theodore H. M., ISBN 0471662941, ISBN-13 9780471662945, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This thorough title addresses the question of preserving the design intent and character of a modern building when using new materials and technology unavailable when the building was originally constructed, as modern buildings built between ca. 1920s and ca. 1970s are now faced with issues ranging from deterioration to functional obsolescence. Modern architectural preservation expert Prudon divides th into two parts, first introducing the topic, including evolving philosophy and standards as well as an assessment of modern buildings and structures, followed by a lengthy section providing case studies from throughout the United States, Europe, and Australia. The detailed second section is furthermore usefully divided by specific types of projects, including pavilions, residential architecture, prefabrication, schools, performing arts centers, hotels, airport terminals, and industrial buildings. This title provides both compelling and practical reading for students and professionals in architecture and preservation. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
