Conserving the ‘White Architecture’ of the 1930s
History catches up with us fast. Many of the revolutionary buildings of the recent past are now in a state of decay. This is especially true of the Modem Movement houses of the 1930s, with their untried means of construction. This paper, based on personal experience in the restoration and alteration of twelve such houses, argues for a common sense approach and the avoidance of dogma. It accepts that conservation of the environment is as important as conservation of the building, so all historic buildings that are occupied should be upgraded in energy terms.
