Contemporary Architecture in the Historic Environment

Introduction to the Annotated Bibliography
on the GCI’s website at http://www.getty.edu/conservation/publications_resources/
public_programs/conferences/minding_gap_sympos.html.
Several titles in this bibliography bridge multiple subject categories; however, they
appear only within the single most relevant chapter or subject category. Where
these titles occur, a note appears after the citation and annotation, indicating other
subjects (and related chapters or sections) that are also addressed within the text.
Annotations
All of the citations are annotated, with the exception of the select guideline samples
provided in chapter 2, section 2.2. Most annotations simply summarize those sections
of the cited text that pertain to new architectural insertions in historic environments;
however, some provide an analytical assessment and a few contain
editorial commentary. The annotations are especially critical for subject material
that is buried within texts covering a wider range of topics. Each annotation is followed
by the initials of the GCI project team member who prepared it:
(S.L.) Sara Lardinois, Project Manager
(A.P.A.G.) Ana Paula Arato Gonçalves, Project Graduate Intern 2011–12
(M.D.) Mesut Dinler, Project Graduate Intern 2013–14
(L.M.) Laura Matarese, Project Graduate Intern 2014–15
Acknowledgments
The GCI project team wishes to acknowledge the assistance of Valerie Greathouse
(Research Associate, GCI) and Dianne Woo (copy editor) in the preparation of this
bibliography. We would also like to acknowledge the contributions of our late and
greatly missed colleague Ron van Oers, who suggested several of the titles included
here.
Future Steps
The GCI is soliciting input from professionals working in the field on the contents
of this bibliography, with the goal of updating it in the future. We are especially
interested in broadening the selection of references related to policies, guidelines,
and case studies beyond the North American, European, and Australian contexts
and from non-English-language publications. To help improve future versions,
please email your comments and suggestions to CAHE@getty.edu.
