Karen Fitzsimon, PhD researcher in the School of Architecture + Cities, reported for The Telegraph about preserving post-war landscapes. This article has been reproduced with permission from The Telegraph.
In the article, Fitzsimon spoke about how landscapes from the 1960s to the 1990s era seem to be vanishing. She said: “But designed landscapes of these decades are disappearing at an alarming rate and few are protected. While the heritage value of post-war architecture is growing in appreciation, that of its landscapes is less understood.”
Fitzsimon also shared the positive news that Historic England has added 24 designed landscapes from recent decades to its National Heritage List. She said: “This is brilliant news and represents an almost doubling of the number of post-war landscapes on the list. It will enhance understanding of this period of landscape design and help protect the sites, and our future enjoyment of them.”
