Hi Welcome back on my blog, meet again with me "the miss wormbook" ,Kelsey. This time I will discuss one of my favorite books with the title of Romantic Modernism
By:"Wim Denslagen"
Published on 2009 by Amsterdam University Press
This book also one of my favourite category on"Architecture"
In the world of architectural conservation, there is little tolerance for reconstructing or even protecting historic facades when everything behind is modern, and even less for reconstructing a building that has been completely destroyed. These offenses are considered lies against history. In this thoughtful, revealing work, conservation expert Wim Denslagen traces this predilection for honesty to the legacy of Functionalism, a Romantic-era movement that denounced the building of pseudo-architecture in favor of a new, rational form of building. With detailed analyses of headline-making restoration projects from Bruges to Berlin, Denslagen shows that the adoption of these romantic values by conservationists gave rise to a new wave of modern additions and transformations.
