Restoration to Conservation
The following paper sets out to analyse the growth of the modem idea of conservation since its origins in the mid-nineteenth century. It is often supposed that restoration and conservation are inherently dissimilar, the one belonging to a misguided and over-confident past age, the other to a more responsible and respectful present. In reality, the relationship between the two concepts is more complex than this, and the artistic and cultural background in which such a relationship has developed demands deeper and more detailed study. It is the authors' intention to invite the reader to set aside some conventional suppositions about the nature of such ideas as conservation, restoration and repair, and to consider the contribution of architects and critics working in a more scientific scholarly tradition, as well as those followers of Ruskin who played such a key role in determining our particular approach to the preservation, use and enhancement of historical architecture.
