8 In earlier work I described these distinct, coexisting traditions as “curatorial” and “urbanistic” (Randall Mason, “Historic Preservation, Public Memory, and the Making of Modern New York City,” in Giving Preservation a History: Histories of Historic Preservation in the United States, ed. Max Page and Randall Mason (New York: Routledge, 2004).
9 Dolores Hayden's Power of Place (Cambridge: MIT Press, 1995) is a pivotal work in this vein, bringing public art, critical history, and cultural landscape theory to bear on reinterpreting and preserving a broader range of narratives in Los Angeles, prefiguring experimental preservation.
10 The intellectual infrastructure of preservation draws on many epistemologies: scientific, humanistic, social-scientific. Partnership with many disciplines is required in practice, given the broad scope of heritage issues. Preservation is thus best defined as a field drawing on the ideas and methods of many disciplines. It follows that most attempts to model preservation from the perspective of any one discipline fall short, as with recent works such as Edward Glaeser's Triumph of the City (2011) and Rem Koolhaas/OMA's Cronocaos (2010).
