LIVING BUILDINGS
Architectural Conservation:
Philosophy, Principles and Practice
By DONALD INSALL
Foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales
Living Buildings celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Donald Insall Associates, the Practice founded by distinguished British Architect Donald Insall, a leading exponent in the field of Architectural Conservation. Probably best known for the restoration of Windsor Castle after a devastating fire in 1992, the team's dedicated work has ensured the longevity of many of Britain's national treasures.
This outstanding book presents a detailed examination of a painstaking approach to architectural conservation, comprehensively illustrated by case-studies, drawings, plans and in-depth descriptions. It is designed for a wide readership among all those who love and care for old buildings and appreciate good new design in sensitive areas.
