520 _aThe analysis of historic structures is often carried out using similar methods to those employed for new construction, while recommendations for repair may be framed to comply with modern design codes. Both are often inappropriate. A scientific committee of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) has recently drafted a set of recommendations that point out the dangers to the historic fabric of adopting this kind of approach, while also describing more appropriate methods. This paper outlines the background to the drafting of these recommendations and reviews their main points. (Taken from article abstract).
