Architecture and Fire A Psychoanalytic Approach to Conservation

Fire is at the center of human civilization. The first primitive hut was built around fire, deeply imprinting it on the collective memory of architecture. As we reassess architectural conservation, we would therefore do well to explore the intimate relationship between architecture and fire. Founded in inventive interdisciplinary research that ranges across architecture and conservation, arc…
