Embedding Modern Heritage into Continuum of Conservation Practice

Sinaa Wanare

The influence of modernism is strong in contemporary architectural practice, and architects practicing in this style are also engaged in the conservation of modern heritage. The swelling of the ranks of those practicing in this area with architects who are less familiar with conservation theory, methodology, and practice but who bring a deep understanding of modernist theory continually fuels the debate and the calls for specific doctrinal texts to guide modern heritage conservation. Those familiar with conservation practice have argued that existing conservation principles are fine, and that it is counterproductive to identify modern heritage as different.
