Townscape conservation (with reference to Pietermaritzburg).

Humphries, Fiona Anne. January 1994 (has links)
Our environment (built and natural) is a thing of beauty and value, an inheritance, created by our forefathers for us and for future generations. In South Africa , conservation of cities has only recently become a reality. This study is an attempt to give a general picture of the conservation related mechanisms of townscape conservation in South Africa, with particular reference to Pietermaritzburg. Townscape conservation legislation in South Africa is presently administered in separate and unrelated sets of legislation. The National Monuments Act 28 of 1969 (chapter 2) on the one hand and the physical planning legislation (chapter 4) which is contained in a variety of provincial and local legislation on the other. There is also the Environment Conservation Act 73 of 1989 and other mechanisms (chapter 3) which incidentally promote the conservation of the South African townscape. This study will examine the legal principles available to the different mechanisms which facilitate townscape conservation, with particular reference to the City of Pietermaritzburg (chapter 5). / Thesis (LL.M.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1994.

Historic windows and sustainability : a comparison of historic and replacement windows based on energy efficiency, life cycle analysis, embodied energy and durability

Ware, Erin C. 09 July 2011 (has links)
This study examines the sustainability of historic windows in comparison to modern replacement windows. A sustainable product is defined as one that lasts multiple generations without causing harm to the environment, either in its production, maintenance, or disposal. Historic windows are perceived as energy inefficient and are often removed and replaced. Historic windows can, however, be augmented to perform similarly to replacement windows. To determine sustainability, window materials were evaluated based on their life span, life cycle, energy efficiency, maintenance, and disposal. In general, historic windows are long lasting and retaining them conserves materials and energy used in their production. Based on the above criteria, historic wood windows were found to be highly sustainable due to their excellent energy performance (with the addition of storm windows), durability (with regular maintenance), and low environmental impact in processing and disposal. / Defining sustainability -- History of windows -- Window materials -- Windows and energy -- Embodied energy and life cycle analysis -- Durability -- Findings. / Department of Architecture

Investigation of need for organized maintenance

Barnhart, Cynthia January 1986 (has links)
The benefits of maintenance have been known for centuries, and throughout history these benefits have been the basis for much discussion. Recently such benefits have been formally proposed in terms of scheduled or cyclical maintenance programs. These programs have been developed for important historic buildings; yet the same benefits can be applied to any house. This concept is the basis of this thesis.The thesis begins with a discussion of the obvious need for some maintenance program and describes the recent interest of local governments in some form of maintenance planning, discussing the benefits of an organized approach to maintenance. Next it briefly reviews the beginnings and history of maintenance theories and is followed by a discussion of maintenance as a level of conservation of building. Basic statistics about homeowners and the development of the survey are addressed, which leads to the presentation of compiled results of the survey and a interpretation of the data. The conclusion indicates a direction for the development of an organized maintenance plan.

Recycling and adaptive use with emphasis on industrial buildings

Dickel, Johannes W. January 1976 (has links)
This Thesis explored background and benefits of recycling of buildings as a method to solve architectural problems. Industrial buildings were selected as significant examples. This study discussed and analyzed the economical, historical and cultural contexts which generate the recycling movement in architecture. The major economical and architectural benefits were identified and described. A methodology of recycling was developed for professional practice. This included the outline of a feasibility study to recycle an existing building. Case studies supplemented by a photographical documentation described and comparatively analyzed five different recycling projects.In addition, this study discussed the classification of recycling of buildings as a modern movement in architecture, analyzed future trends and developed future strategies. / Department of Architecture

Historic preservation: a study in local public administration

Nicolay, John 22 May 2007 (has links)
Do citizen volunteers, sitting on legislatively created local historic architectural review boards, represent a part of the American governance tradition? This study examines the relationships between public board members, citizen interests, career public administrators and the elected appointing authorities. This research involved a national survey of over 1200 members of boards of historic architectural review. In addition, four town or county case studies are presented in detail. These case studies are Jonesborough, Tennessee; Lynchburg, Virginia; Cobb County, Georgia; and Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. These case studies are examined through an ecological perspective. Within the context of this study, boards of historic architectural review are very much a part of the urban/town/county governance model. They are highly professional in their composition, highly egalitarian, and deeply committed to furthering highly individualistic notions of community. Although some national community studies suggest a malaise in communitarian ideals, this research suggests just the contrary. The failure of citizenship falls more upon the legitimacy accorded to citizens as public administrators rather than an apathy toward manifesting that citizenship. Historic preservation itself is in a national state of disarray. Its ethos is poorly defined, and the national wellspring for preservation impetus to the local community is strained. Most communities find themselves struggling to fit a nostalgic, sentimental vision of the preserved environment into a well articulated economic model. This research suggests that local historic architectural review boards need to draw upon themselves to create better opportunities through self-study and formal certification programs. By enhancing their natural reserves of professionalism and commitment, they will advertise what they already do very well: administer in the public interest. By joining with like-minded community-based public boards this new coalition promises a energy and direction for municipal governments. The key is to foster an open environment of dialogue and debate centered on furthering good, responsive government. / Ph. D.
