Abstract (en)

Argues that although conservation has generally presented itself as an anti-modern phenomenon, the rise of the conservation movement has had a vital role in the transformation of the built environment in the modern age. Assesses how this situation came about, drawing on the ideas of Alois Riegl, and shows that this modern concept of the monument has had both a positive and negative side. Concludes by exploring the problems that conservation faces today as a result of that "committed" stance.
