Modern Monument Preservation in Hungary: Should We Conserve the Modern Prostheses of Restoration?

Summary/Abstract: Monument preservation has deep theoretical roots, which have always influenced its practice. The interventions are always contemporary architectural acts or works where this relationship between theory and practice is essential; however, the “contemporary” element is not independent of architectural styles (although stylistic questions can be raised with the appearance of Modernism). Until the early 1920s, the dominant style was based on historicism, where contemporary and previous historical architecture used the same forms and materials. The real changes were in new forms and techniques that made the distinction between old and new architecture crucial aspects in the field of conservation.
