"With an august roll call of contributors, Gardens and Landscapes in Historic Building Conservation fills a useful niche . . . Theory and practice are here combined in a rich mix." (Journal of Australian Garden, 1 April 2015)
This comprehensive guide on historic garden and landscape conservation will help landscape professionals familiarise themselves with what the conservation of historic gardens, garden structures and designed landscapes encompasses.
Gardens & Landscapes in Historic Building Conservation is an essential guide for everyone with an interest in the conservation of historic gardens and designed landscapes worldwide. Covering history and theory, survey and assessment, conservation and management, and the legislative framework the book considers all aspects of garden and landscape conservation and related issues. It explores the challenge of conserving these important sites and surviving physical remains and a conservation movement which must understand, protect and interpret those remains.
Drawing on a wide range of sources, combining academic and professional perspectives, the book offers information and advice relevant to all involved in trying to preserve one of England's greatest cultural contributions and legacy for future generations to enjoy. With chapters by all the leading players in the field, from landscape managers and architects to historians and academics, the book reflects the interdisciplinary nature of conservation work.
Structured to be of direct practical application, the book takes the reader through the process of historic landscape conservation, giving copious examples, emphasising throughout the integrative teamwork involved and providing clear guidance to the management and conservation of historic gardens and designed landscapes.
This volume on gardens is the fifth in a series on historic building conservation that combines conservation philosophy in the built environment with knowledge of traditional materials and structural and constructional conservation techniques and technology:
While substantial publications exist on each of the subject areas, few individuals and practices have ready access to all of these or the time to read them in detail. The aim of the series is to introduce each aspect of conservation and to provide concise, basic and up-to-date knowledge, sufficient for the professional practitioner as well as for commissioning client bodies, managers and advisors to appreciate the subject better and to know where to seek further help.
