7 Understanding the Building
Buildings are very complex. Understanding the building (as opposed to the architecture) requires a forensic investigation of the original built fabric and how it has been altered over time, identifying areas that are in distress, the cause of such distress, and the potential impacts and opportunities of undertaking remedial works. Such investigations require specialist input, and will complement, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in the Conservation Plan.
