Infos

This book offers an international overview of how to apply the Conservation Management Plan (CMP) to the 20th-century architectural heritage. Although the CMP is universally considered a fundamental tool for sustainable management of the built heritage, the application to 20th-century buildings is still limited. The book illustrates selected case studies from different countries to discuss how best to preserve the authenticity of the original materials, manage changes in use, engage users and stakeholders in this process, and make conservation and sustainability work together. 'Conserving 20th-century architecture' will provide insights for scholars and students and assist architects in drafting an effective conservation management plan. 

Davide Del Curto is an Associate Professor of architectural preservation at Politecnico di Milano, Dept. of Architecture and Urban Studies. His research deals with building diagnostics, and preventive conservation of the architectural heritage, focusing on 20th-century architecture. He participated in national and international research programs and restoration campaigns for heritage buildings from the 13th to 20th centuries. He was awarded a gold medal in the Domus International Prize in 2016 for designing the museum of former sanatoriums in Sondalo. Within the Getty Foundation's  'Keeping it Modern' program, he was responsible for the task sustainability within the conservation management plan for Giancarlo De Carlo's 'Collegi' in Urbino (2015-2018), and he coordinated the drafting of the plan for the National Art Schools of Cuba (2018-2020). He is the Author of more than 100 publications.
