Abstract
This study is an investigation of how façadism can be understood as an act of conservation and compensation in Sweden, through the definition of façadism as the act of retaining or reconstructing an existing façade with the construction of a new building behind the façade. The study is executed through an investigation and analysis of the definition of façadism, arguments for and against façadism related to authenticity, and through an analysis of how current legislation, policies and charters regarding conservation and/or compensation can support or counteract façadism. The first part of this study is executed through a literature study of façadism on an international level.
