Living buildings celebrates the 50th anniversary of Donald Insall Associated, the firm led by distinguished British architect Donald Insall, a leading exponent in the field of architectural conservation. Probably best known for their restoration of Windsor Castle after a devastating fire in 1992, the team's dedication to preservation architecture has ensured the longevity of many of Britain's national treasures. These include historic houses and palaces and castles, town halls, churches and hospitals, public buildings and spaces and complete conservation areas. This book is a detailed examination of Insall's painstaking approach to architectural conservation, comprehensively illustrated by case studies, drawings, plans and in-depth descriptions. Donald Insall Associates is also involved in new design for sensitive sites, and with the design and setting of new monuments and statuary. Examples of all appear in this book.
