CONSERVATION AND RENOVATION
1.Heritage Conservation Laws Why did we want to conserve heritages and reusing old buildings? Because ‘the past is important.’ (Darlington, J. 2020) Confucius, the Chinese philosopher, believes that ‘Study the past if you would define the future.’ Because of the importance, history must be viewed critically. When history is counterfeit, losing its authenticity and truth, experience and lessons studied by it are meaningless, even worse. On the other hand, for modern architectures, reinforced concrete as a non-renewable material is the primary material used in those architecture activities. When the buildings are destroyed, new problems should be considered in dealing with the construction wastes.
