Description
The four speakers of this conference session will look back at preservation philosophy and all the related terms (conservation, historic preservation, restoration, rehabilitation, renovation, reconstruction, renovation) coming at it from different viewpoints such as theory, policy, linguistic and cultural constraints, architectural practice, and artistic practice. Using a variety of case studies, the speakers will reframe the notions of those terms, which will help the attendee to compare, contrast, and reconsider preservation philosophy as it applies to new art forms and art media, future practice and implementation, as well as contemporary materials, settings and styles.
