Vernacular Buildings in a Changing World: Understanding, Recording and ConservationSarah Pearson, Robert Meeson Council for British Archaeology, 2001 - 151 pages This book focuses on the theories and practices for analysing and recording the vast range of small historic buildings that constitute the core element of Britain's built landscape. It examines what has been done and what still needs to be achieved to preserve and understand our architectural heritage. Chapters explore the historic context of the discipline, the significant increase in the amount and type of building recording following new government policy guidance procedures, the necessity for informed conservation to rest on detailed understanding of particular buildings, the problems encountered by professional consultants, the development of new research techniques and applications, education, the role of voluntary recorders, and the pressing needs to better storage and access for records. |
