History, Performance and Conservation (Technologies of Architecture)

Ideal for students of architectural technology, this volume of the Technologies of Architecture series covers the technologies available and the processes necessary for the conservation of existing buildings and environments. This book provides, in a single text, the tools for students to be able to evaluate such buildings, as well as an extensive understanding of the mechanisms which cause their deterioration and knowledge of the technologies available to correct their status. The ever higher standards set for buildings, especially in energy conservation contexts, demand that practitioners appreciate how the performance of existing structures can be enhanced, which is also covered. Considering the work of conservation within a holistic perspective and historical context, this book is additionally invaluable for architecture and construction students.

Shops are an integral part of our everyday life. Over the last 200 years, Scotland's shop owners - from Stranraer to Lerwick - have been renewing, changing and replacing their shop-fronts in an attempt to keep up with the latest fashions in retail architecture. Scotland's Shops embarks on an in-depth investigation of shop development in Scotland. It offers examples of good practice in conservation and makes a strong case for the conservation of shops of all periods, given their significant contribution to the character of our townscapes. There is much to be celebrated in our retail architecture and this book highlights the tremendous variety of architecture and materials which can be found in towns across Scotland.
