- The Powers of Preservation : New Life for Urban Historic Places by Arthur Cotton Moore
- In this provocative work, Author Moore draws on his more than 30 years of experience in preservation, restoration, adaptive reuse, and urban design to show what works and what doesn't. He also takes a position which challenges conventional wisdom and is controversial to purists. He advocates that the overall need of the site and its place in the city should take precedence over absolute accuracy of restoration. Through compelling case studies he reveals the pitfalls to look out for and the practices that are proven winners. Finally, he shows how an expanded, more permissive, populist approach to preservation can improve urban environments. Order it!
