Recording the Fabric of Great Cities: Report of an International Meeting Organized by the Survey of London and Sponsored by English Heritage

Recording the Fabric of Great Cities: Report of an International Meeting Organized by the Survey... AbstractRecording the Fabric of Great Cities was the title given to a two-day meeting of about 50 people professionally involved in the documentation of architectural histories in major European and North American cities. This report sets out some of the main threads of the presentations and discussions — the tradition of record-making as inventory, the changing role of the state, academic engagements and intersections, public networks, and changing methods. The event was not designed to specify outcomes, but it did emerge that several overarching challenges loom — digitization (of both process and product), grasping the particular nature of cities, and, amidst fragmentation of initiatives, coordination, standard-keeping, and dissemination. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The London Journal: A Review of Metropolitan Society Past and Present Taylor & Francis
