  text: "The high-tech architecture of the 1970s–1990s is typically characterized
    by the use and exhibition of advanced technologies. In terms of appearance, these
    buildings often have innovative façades, supporting structures accentuated in
    color, and expressively displayed technology systems. Unfortunately, however,
    the rapid obsolescence of technology has often led to the complete replacement
    of the very systems that defined the architectural form. In 2023, an international
    conference at ETH Zurich in collaboration with Bauhaus-Universität Weimar explored
    the question of how best to deal with the structural legacy of technologically
    innovative architecture. This book summarizes the results and provides an overview
    of the current state of research.\r\n\r\nCurrent state of research on high-tech
    architecture and its conservation\r\nOverview of the opportunities and challenges
    of high-tech buildings\r\nNew findings on the topic of building within existing
    structures\r\nAlso available as a set with the congress volume Denkmal Postmoderne
