Description
Showcasing a range of homes, churches, barns, commercial, and industrial buildings from across the UK, this book demonstrates the SPAB philosophy that good new architecture can sit happily alongside old and is preferable to pastiche. Building on the experience of professionals in the historic environment, the authors explore the approach, the design process, the material palette and technical considerations in creating enduring, sustainable buildings. It has never been more important to understand how old buildings can be adapted to make them useful and sustainable in the future. “Good conservation demands a clear and rigorous contemporary approach for new work just as much as it requires delicacy and respect in dealing with the past. In this book, Roger and Iain skilfully guide us through the work of some of the best examples, their erudition underscored by a deep understanding of conservation theory and principles.” Kevin McCloud
About Iain Boyd | Roger Hunt

Roger Hunt is an award winning writer and blogger specialising in sustainability, old houses, house-building and traditional and modern building materials. Roger regularly lectures and speaks at shows and events and is on the editorial board of The SPAB Magazine.

Iain Boyd is a Trustee of the SPAB and of ICON (The Institute of Conservation). Formerly involved in advertising, television production and financial publishing, Iain switched his attention to his love of old buildings in 2007. He holds a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Conservation of the Historic Environment.

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings was founded by William Morris in 1877 to counteract the highly destructive 'restoration' of medieval buildings being practised by many Victorian architects. Today it is the largest, oldest and most technically expert national pressure group fighting to save old buildings from decay, demolition and damage.
