About this book

This is an essential guide for those taking either the RIBA Conservation Register Course or another building conservation course. Taking as its starting point the ICOMOS Education and Training Guidelines, the internationally-recognised set of criteria, this book explores everything you need to know when undertaking projects that involve architectural conservation. This is the only book that deals systematically with the ICOMOS Guidelines, written by RIBA course tutors, bringing their extensive expertise to the table, with their varied and practical experience in the public, private and academic sectors. With guidance that can applied both in the UK and internationally, and covering the essential aspects of climate change and retrofit, this is a must-have handbook.
