    Réplica y restauración: cuestiones de autenticidad y ética
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) Warren, John
    [EN] The author expounds on the subject of the sometimes diffuse limits between replica and restoration by referring to parallel examples from the world of art, technology, cinema, furni-ture, applied arts, etc., subsequently returning to the world of architecture and evaluating the concept of authenticity and the ethical limits of replicas from first principles. A particularly re-vealing approach in this issue is the introduction of the concepts of scale and the final aim of the intervention leading to a clear resolution of any doubts arising. The text is of great interest given its detailed analysis of actions usually linked to the field of restoration and executed intuitively, for better or worse, without prior evaluation of their underlying cause and meaning

    Las técnicas no destructivas en la práctica de la restauración en EE.UU
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) Miguel Alcalá, Berta de; Pardo Redondo, Gabriel
    [EN] Nondestructive evaluation techniques are extensively used in the field of architectural heritage conservation in the United States. This paper outlines the most used techniques, classifying them in visual assessment techniques, and techniques based on wave propagation. Depending on the type of wave, the latter group is subdivided in electromagnetic and acoustic techniques. The final section includes a two nondestructive techniques facilitators: unmanned aerial vehicles and Tablet PC Annotation System

    Landmark Trust: 50 years rescuing historic buildings
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) Stanford, Caroline
    [EN] The Landmark Trust is a UK charity that spe-cialises in rescuing historic buildings at risk and restoring them to the highest standards. They are then let for self-catering holidays to pay for future maintenance. Founded in 1965, the Trust now has a portfolio of 200 historic buildings in its care across England, Scotland and Wales, with a few also in France, Italy and Belgium. Most of these buildings would not have survived without its help. This paper explains the how the Trust was founded, and charts its progress to the present day.

    The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB)
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) Slocombe, Matthew
    [EN] In 1877, a small group of pioneering enthusiasts in England took up the ideas of art critic John Ruskin and ‘invented’ the country’s first building conser-vation movement. The organisation they founded - the SPAB - survives to this day. This paper exa-mines how the Society’s original ideas - set out in its Manifesto - have shaped building conservation work in the UK and beyond. Today the Society’s work has broadened to embrace education and training, and responds to new challenges facing historic buildings, such as the need to reduce car-bon emissions by improving the energy efficiency of the building stock.

    La restauración del ayuntamiento de Gotemburgo, Suecia
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) Nädele, Mikael; Losman, Caroline
    [EN] Gothenburg Courthouse has been given new life. The exterior and the interior has both been renovated and taken, as it were, into custody. It has been adapted to the needs of a modern organization. That has been possible because of Gunnar Asplund’s foresight: the plans were based on openness and transparency with circulation at the center. That description could have been taken directly from a modern office concept developed today for the office of the future. There is also the additional factor that the most important and most central aspect of the building is its origins in the deeply human – and that makes it a timeless place to be and to work even today

    The Listed Building Consent System in England
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) White, Nils
    [EN] The article gives a brief summary of why and how buildings are listed in England. It then goes on to describe the framework through which local planning authorities control their alteration and demolition, using examples from Ashburton, a small town in the county of Devon. The decision-making process is then examined, again with examples, and the options for appeal or enforcement action described

    La conservación y restauración de la arquitectura contemporánea: paradojas y contradicciones
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-06) Hernandez Martínez, Ascension
    [EN] The progressive amplification of the concept of heritage during the last century led to consider as monuments not only cathedrals or the most traditional buildings in historic architecture, but also the most relevant instances of contem-porary architecture. The identification and as-sessment of the 20th century buildings logically led to their conservation and restoration in the most necessary cases. However, intervention on them has provoked a deep debate in which even a specific way to restore this architecture has been posed

    Intervención en la Tienda Olivetti de Carlo Scarpa en Venecia
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) Codello, Renata
    [EN] The restoration, valorisation and museumisation of the Olivetti Showroom designed by Carlo Scarpa in a building in Venice’s Piazza San Marco is extremely positive. The incorporation of contemporary architecture in keeping with the location in metaphorical terms as well as the composition, material and construction techniques used in this unusual location resulted in the creation of this masterpiece. Following some years of neglect overcrowding the space for the sale of poor-quality tourist souvenirs, and thanks to the intervention of several Italian bodies and institutions, the restored OIivetti Showroom once again opened its doors as its own museum, with the exhibition of the classic typewriters for which it was originally created as well as additional cultural content of interest, without overloading the available space.

    Habitar la ruina: intervención en el Castillo de Astley, en Warwickshire, Inglaterra
    (Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29) Mann, William
    [EN] Astley Castle, near Nuneaton in the English Midlands, was a complex ruin, the result of eight centuries of accretion, and three decades of decay. Asked by the Landmark Trust to build a house that would make the most of what remained, we chose to build in direct contact with the remains, retaining the ruinous character. In doing so, we faced a delicate balancing act between the raw, scaleless quality of the ruin and the warmth and measure of a house. We responded to this tension through the complementary characteristics of masonry and carpentry, accommodating the complex particularities of the remains through the rigour and improvisation of these constructional disciplines.
