Full description for The Future of the Past
In "The Future of the Past" Steven W. Semes offers a comprehensive and eloquent argument for 'new traditional' architecture that preserves the style and character of historic buildings. With contemporary design being redefined by architects and urbanists who are recovering the historic language associated with traditional architecture and the city, Semes looks at how preservation might change its focus or update its mission. He makes a persuasive case that context matters and that new buildings and additions to old buildings should be harmonious with their neighbours.
