B CONSERVATION Approaches Examples
Approaches of CONSERVATION Preservation Aims to retain the object in ideal conditions, so no further damage or decay will occur (Caple 2000, p37) attempts to maintain in their present condition areas of the Earth that are so far untouched by humans.
Approaches of CONSERVATION Preservation
Approaches Conservation Aims through physical and chemical mediation with the object, to prevent further decay and reveal information about, and the earlier appearance of, the object (Caple 2000, p38) the sustainable use and management of natural resources including wildlife, water, air, and earth deposits, both -- renewable and non-renewable.
Approaches RESTORATION Returning an object to its original form or condition. It implies use of some material from the original and a resultant visual form which is very close to the original (Caple 2000, p122)
Approaches Adaptive Reuse To find a new way of using the old object and to contain it. Reinvention of Craft
