Abstract (in English)

The Venice Charter of 1964 emphasized the need to 'preserve and reveal the aesthetic and the historical value' of historic buildings. This paper examines a second duality in the evaluation of buildings - a duality between the value of a building in terms of its place in history, and its value as the visual embodiment of that history.
