Summary:
Le patrimoine est aujourd’hui multiscalaire, présent à toutes les échelles territoriales, depuis le quartier, voire la rue, jusqu’à l’espace globalisé par la mondialisation et le tourisme. Le présent ouvrage invite à une réflexion sur les variations du sens du patrimoine et des dimensions qu’il prend dans diverses situations, de même que sur ses enjeux au point de vue praxéologique ou théorique – particulièrement dans le contexte quotidien. Plutôt que de présenter une succession de cas de patrimonialisation, les auteurs privilégient l’analyse de tensions entre des conceptions patrimoniales issues des milieux territorial, politique ou culturel.

Summary:
La recherche d'efficacité énergétique et de confort mais aussi le manque de terrains pour construire des logements incitent à procéder à la réhabilitation ou à la requalification, associée à des extensions, surélévations, etc. Dans ce type d'opérations lourdes, les enjeux architecturaux sont importants, bien que ce champ soit considéré, le plus souvent, comme peu propice à l'ambition créative. Cet ouvrage propose une réflexion théorique et pratique sur la place de l'architecture dans la requalification de l'habitat collectif en rassemblant une analyse détaillée d'environ 200 opérations parmi les plus marquantes. Centré principalement sur l'habitat des Trente Glorieuses (1946-1975), ce bilan critique : explique les raisons historiques de l'absence de l'architecture lors des opérations de réhabilitation, l'évolution du contexte favorable à la requalification des logements ; propose une étude comparative de réalisations aux qualités architecturales reconnues, classées par type et niveau d'interventions ? de l'immeuble (logement, parties communes) aux abords immédiats (pieds d'immeubles, résidentialisation) jusqu'à l'aménagement urbain dans le cas d'extensions neuves ; met en évidence des éléments de conception architecturale communs, lesquels permettent de définir les bases d'une théorisation de la prise en compte de l'architecture et d'offrir des outils opérationnels au regard des enjeux visés (agrandissement de logements, création d'annexes extérieures privatives, diversification de l'offre, mixité de l'habitat, etc.).

Summary:
L'originalité de la vingtaine des réalisations présentées (Allemagne, Brésil, Mexique, Chine, Espagne, Etats-Unis, Grande-Bretagne, République tchèque, France) provient de la démarche adoptée par les architectes : il ne s'agit ni de réhabilitation ni de restauration mais d'un parti pris consistant à confronter vestiges et architecture contemporaine. La ruine est ainsi davantage consolidée en l'état et conservée telle que plutôt que réhabilitée. La ruine devient alors comme le paysage de la construction neuve qui est insérée dedans ou à côté. Le choix des projets plaide pour une intervention "douce" qui consiste ni à détruire, ni à rénover, mais plutôt à coloniser l'existant, considérant que recycler, adapter, transformer, inventer d'autres usages est susceptible de s'avérer plus pertinent que de démolir pour reconstruire "mieux".

Summary:
Structures & Construction in Historic Building Conservation traces the history of structures in various materials and contains guidance on the survey, assessment and diagnosis of structures and the integration of building code requirements within the historic fabric. It discusses conservation engineering philosophy, exposes the conflict between building codes and conservation legislation, and offers solutions. Leading-edge, on-site metric survey techniques are described and a range of structural advice is given, including methods of repair in relation to philosophical principles. Causes of induced movement in historic buildings are explained, together with basic soil mechanics and the assessment and diagnosis of structural failure. Chapters also cover the conservation of different types of construction: masonry, iron and steel, and concrete and reinforced concrete.

Conservation and Sustainability in Historic Cities examines how the two key issues of urban conservation and sustainability relate to each other in the context of historic cities, and how they can be brought together in a common philosophy and practice that is mutually supportive. It sets out the theoretical and practical background to architectural conservation and how its perceived relevance and level of attainment can be extended when harnessed to wider agendas of sustainability and cultural identity. It tests the achievement of urban conservation through case studies from across Europe and elsewhere, assessing them against the sustainability agenda.

This book focuses on complex economic, political, and social realities facing the profession today. It provides an in-depth historic analysis of the profession, a summary of legal issues, an architectural synopsis, a discussion of career opportunities in the public and private sectors, and examples of innovative nonprofit leadership and preservation trends.

Summary:
Imagine the world without the Parthenon, Notre Dame, the Wailing Wall, the Taj Mahal, the Forbidden City, Machu Picchu, or other iconic buildings, monuments, and places. What if the more impressive historic buildings and sites we encounter in our everyday lives disappeared? Civilization would simply not exist as we know it. Fortunately, awareness of the importance of protecting the world's cultural patrimony—in particular, its architectural heritage—is at an all-time high and is growing. Time Honored: A Global View of Architectural Conservation explores the reasons for this phenomenon, explains how international architectural heritage conservation practice operates, and considers where this firmly rooted global interest may lead. Written by a leading practitioner and teacher of architectural preservation, Time Honored provides a much-needed comprehensive and balanced survey of the practice, theory, and structure of architectural heritage conservation throughout the world.

Summary:
In this guide, a building is considered to have become a ruin when its windows or doors are no longer intact or when walls or roofs have holes. These ruins and abandoned buildings have no use, no function. In a country like the Netherlands, in which every inch of land seems to be used with the utmost efficiency, the existence of these blank spaces is something to be grateful for.
