Architecture, Planning, and Preservation

Editor in Chief | Editorial Board | Articles and Contributors

The built environment, ranging from single structures to vast cities, is the subject of a diverse body of scholarly literature. Where some researchers focus on the vernacular building efforts of non-professionals decades or centuries ago, others examine the work of professional designers in the modern and contemporary eras. And although the Western tradition once dominated historical research on the built environment, today the field is geographically expansive and aspires to cover the globe. Given the virtual explosion of writing on architecture, as well as on urban and regional planning and on the process of preserving historic sites and buildings, some guide to the burgeoning literature is needed—by practitioners, students, scholars, and enthusiasts of the built environment.

Oxford Bibliographies: Architecture, Planning, and Preservation uncovers a wealth of sources for the study of the built environment while also providing essential guidance in navigating the wide range of material, both print and online. Not a mere list of sources, this guide distinguishes between the publications that address buildings and landscapes, which run the gamut from archaeological reports aimed specifically at professionals in the field, to more accessible studies aimed at a general readership. Built on the comprehensive knowledge and professional expertise of its authors, Oxford Bibliographies: Architecture, Planning, and Preservation directs readers to the sources of greatest relevance on diverse topics in the field.
