12、d interwoven.The conservation of historic buildings requires judgement based on anunderstanding of principles informed by experience and knowledge to beexercised when decisions are made. British Standards that are applicable tonewer buildings might be inappropriate.The decision to conserve historic

13、buildings can be justified on social, cultural,economic and/or environmental grounds, and usually a combination of these.Conflicting pressures often need to be balanced to assist good decision making.Good conservation depends on a sound research evidence base and the use ofcompetent advisors and con

14、tractors.See Figure 1 for a flowchart showing conservation process.The history of building conservation is summarized in 0.2 to 0.9.0.2 Vernacular buildingWhen people first began to build they built for themselves, without the aid ofspecialist builders. What they built was, in the precise meaning of

15、 the term,“vernacular” (i.e. native or of the country). The system by which the people of aparticular place built was developed empirically over many generations, closelyintegrated with geology, climate, land use and seasonal patterns.Even the more refined ways of building were subject to the same l

16、ocal andvernacular influences. This is the basis of what can be termed the architecturalgeography of the United Kingdom. The local and vernacular materials andconstruction of buildings contribute to a sense of place.0.3 Architecture as cultural expressionThe aim of builders throughout the ages has b

17、een to produce buildings whichwere as well-built as they could be with the materials and skills available. Theseserved the needs of the people who used and occupied them, and their formand decoration were refined as a means of cultural expression. In the firstcentury BCE the Roman architect Vitruviu

18、s defined the three essential attributesof architecture as ”commodity, firmness and delight”. The integration andbalancing of function, sound construction, economics and aesthetics remains theobjective of all architectural activity. Buildings of all types and periods containinformation about the way

19、 in which people lived, worked and worshipped, howthey built and how they thought and wished to present their own culture andtheir spiritual values.BRITISH STANDARD BS 7913:2013 The British Standards Institution 2013 1Figure 1 Conservation processBRITISH STANDARDBS 7913:20132 The British Standards I

20、nstitution 20130.4 The artisan traditionWith the growth of the trades, building practice advanced steadily and becamemore standardized and subject to regional, national and international culturalinfluences. While some rural buildings, particularly in more remote parts of thecountry, remained self-bu

21、ilt in the local tradition (and therefore genuinelyvernacular) until the beginning of the twentieth century, most ordinary town,village and estate building in the post-mediaeval period was by carpenters,masons and bricklayers, often with the aid of pattern books, and is thereforetermed artisan. The

22、empirical development and refinement of building practicein response to changing needs and circumstances was continued by the tradesuntil the onset of the industrial age. The architecture and the craftsmanship ofmany of these buildings are of a very high order.0.5 Fine architectureSocieties, communi

23、ties and powerful people of all periods have used theirprincipal buildings as a means of expressing their authority, sanctity, wealthand/or sophistication. The fine architecture that a society produces is a reflectionof its culture and ethos. Although such buildings were commonly built fromlocal mat

24、erials and by the local trades, they were often designed by people whocould be described as architects. The architecture of these buildings tended tobe sophisticated, fashionable, and express national cultural characteristics andoften international influences which were representative of the intelle

25、ctualorientation, political or trading alliances of the time. Fine architecture representsthe high culture of the age in which it was created.0.6 The age of industryThe rapid development of Britains power in the 19th century through acombination of empire and industrialization led to a major increas

26、e in the totalquantity of building, largely, but not only, in cities. This led to major technicaladvances in the mechanization of building in traditional materials, through theintroduction of Portland cement and the use of iron and steel, particularly inlarge engineering structures such as bridges a

27、nd train sheds, but also in thedevelopment of framed buildings. Throughout much of this period, however,the artisan building tradition continued. All types of 19th century buildingssurvive in use throughout the United Kingdom in very large numbers, and makeup a substantial part of the fabric of pres

28、ent day towns and cities.0.7 War, modernism and planningLargely as a consequence of the two world wars, the 20th century has seendevelopment and change at a rate of a different order to that of any previousperiod. In the course of the century the building trades, ways of building andattitudes to urb

29、an development changed substantially.BRITISH STANDARD BS 7913:2013 The British Standards Institution 2013 3As the cost of labour and skill increased and the price of energy felldramatically, builders increasingly used mechanized and industrialized methodsbased on the rapid assembly of large and smal

30、l factory-made components andcast-in-situ concrete. Such was the confidence in the new technology, it wasbelieved for a time that in the future all buildings would be replaced by newones at least once per century. Traditional building methods were rejected,misunderstood or forgotten. Maintenance was

31、 superseded by renewal andtowns were threatened with wholesale redevelopment. The rapid growth of thearchitectural conservation movement was in response to this, and became partof a wider environmental movement. Pressure for renewal receded and thedesirability of retaining sound buildings, particula

32、rly historic buildings, gainedwide acceptance. Modern architecture, as that of any other period, evokes thespirit of the age which produced it. As much of it was not designed to last or tobe maintained, the conservation of post-war listed buildings presents newtechnical challenges.0.8 The conservati

33、on movementThe conservation movement has its origins in 18th century enlightenment,antiquarianism and romanticism. It developed in the 19th century through TheManifesto for the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings 1 written in1877 by William Morris, The Ancient Monuments Protection Act 18

34、82 2 and thefounding of the National Trust.In the 20th century, the consolidation of ruins and the care of ancient sites bythe State were developed by HM Office of Works, while accelerating change ledto the growth of preservation and amenity societies. After 1945 the listing andlegal protection of b

35、uildings was established through a succession of Town andCountry Planning Acts 3. This growth of interest in buildings and landscapes ofcultural heritage was matched by increasing concern for the natural heritageand pressure to control pollution, ecological damage and resource consumption.Together t

36、hese make up the modern conservation movement.0.9 Conservation todayInternational recognition of the importance of building conservation wasachieved in 1966 with the publication of the Venice Charter by ICOMOS 4,followed in 1981 by the Burra Charter of ICOMOS Australia 5 while thefundamental descrip

37、tion of the process was enshrined in the 1993 ICOMOSGuidelines for education and training in the conservation of monuments,ensembles and sites 6. This and subsequent standards on structural interventionon historic buildings remain the common standard for built and historicconservation, to which Grea
