Certain buildings constructed in the 20th century are presently faced with the crisis of demolition. There can be no doubt that even the 20th century masterpieces, praised as symbols of architecture, are not to be demolished.
It seems that the development of new materials and new technology have made it possible to construct buildings to a scale that was unimaginable 50 or 100 years ago, and that these buildings today have a larger degree of freedom in their form. There might be various ideas about life expectancy of the building in the built environment while considering factors such as the economy, convenience, and safety, among others.
This issue focuses on 20th century masterpieces that have recently experienced restoration, conservation, renovation or extension. While Eero Saarinen’s TWA Terminal (1962) was restored and revived through its linkage to the new extension, Paul Rudolph’s Art and Architecture Building in Yale University (1963) was also restored, but carefully unified with its extension.
