19世紀から20世紀前半の英国における廃墟保護 : その技術・法・理念の形成に関する研究

抄録

It is not a simple task to protect ruins which is deteriorating and in a precarious state. It is required to achieve techniques making ruins structurally sound without destroying its picturesque beauty. Another question is a rather old question, namely,'why should we preserve it as a ruin, rather than restore it and use it again?' This paper firstly examines George Gilbert Scott's suggestion on the conservation of ruins, and the process toward the statutory protection of medieval ruins, then cases at Tintern Abbey and Fountains Abbey, to illustrate the process achieving the technique and the significance of protecting ruins, respectively.
