Résumé
Preservation theory, the first section of the primer, features articles that illustrate the philosophies underlying decisions that professionals make in every preservation project, from evaluating old bridges to assessing embodied energy. The second section traces construction from the 18th century up to the recent past, with articles and case histories on methodology, structural evaluation, masonry, investigative techniques, windows, paint, 20th-century buildings, and sustainability. The final section covers archeology and cultural landscapes. Preservationists Robert A. Young, Michael F. Lynch, Kyle Normandin, and Hugh C. Miller contributed introductory essays to each section. The Preservation Technology Primer celebrates APT s 40th anniversary and brings together 52 of the best articles that have been published in four decades of the APT Bulletin.
