Intuitive judgments of preservation projects; not super proud but good to trigger conversation...




-Preservation; 
                     to me differs from conservation:
preservation deals with the creation of the historic object and its maintenance.
Preservation deals with the object in two ways:


                                     (a) it casts the found object as found (dignification)


                                    (b) it interprets history and reenacts its "original" condition 


-Conservation;
                       to me, conservation has economic connotations, as TheFreeDictionary defines; 1.b.To use carefully or sparingly, avoiding waste or 3.To economize. Conservation deals with something that has to be kept because we might run out of it soon or because it happens to be useful not necessarily now, but in the future: 

-shall I throw the cardborad boxes?  

-Keep them in case we move out soon...

Here the object is kept but by no means dignified. It is left as found.




















Beyond the architectural object...
