Critical Built Heritage Practice and Conservation - Evolving Perspectives supports an alternative point of departure for engaging with the historic built environment, by critically questioning the legitimacy of dominant conservation concepts and methods that are often taken for granted within building conservation, architecture, and adaptive reuse.
This book outlines, within the Italian national framework, the current and potential paths oriented towards a new concept of Architectural Heritage, through actions referring to Innovation and Experimentation and Protection and Transformation of the Architectural Heritage.
Old Materials, New Climate: Traditional Building Materials in a Changing World is an accessible guidebook to understanding historic materials - how they were traditionally made, how they survived the test of time, and how changes in climate are now impacting materials in new ways.

A human-centered society creatively balances investments in sources of innovation, while also governing in a manner that eventually limits exploitation by originators once innovations have proven their value in the marketplace, broadly defined to include both private and public constituencies.
Contemporary cities are shaped by the unlikely adjacencies of objects that are vastly different in kind, origin, and scale: buildings, infrastructure, and other urban components that over time accumulate into mismatched configurations.

Terrapsychological Inquiry is a path of storied, imaginative research that takes seriously our intense inner responses to the state of the natural world.
Mine areas left behind by companies that no longer exist are defined as derelict mines - those that were operated and closed at a time when most countries did not have adequate regulations requiring rehabilitation of the impacted mine areas.
