Google Preview: The regions of Europe have an architectural heritage that is a thousand years old; today's challenge is to integrate this heritage into contemporary life in a sustainable way. The examples presented in this book all demonstrate a desire to be considered as local projects and to take their place in an evolutionary interpretation of history. After more than a century of conflicting debate on the subject of rehabilitation, it seems that the aims expressed in the Charter of Venice have borne fruit by giving rise to quality and personalized buildings that themselves are a contribution to this debate.; Pierre Thiebaut studied architecture in France and in the USA (where Louis Kahn was one of his professors), and is also a graduate in planning of the Institut d'Urbanisme de Paris and the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussees in Paris. Prior to his present activity as a writer of articles and books on architectural rehabilitation and teacher at the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Architecture de Paris La Villette, he was an Architecte des Batiments de France heading the Service Departemental du Patrimoine du Conseil General de Seine et Marne.; Introduction; Archaeological Heritage; Aristocratic Heritage; Military Heritage; Religious Heritage; Institutional Heritage; Domestic Heritage; Farming Heritage; Craft Heritage; Industrial Heritage.; Google Preview content
