An introduction by Graham Fairclough, David Stocker & Jason Wood (293) explains that the series of papers were originally presented at a symposium held at the IFA conference in April 1991, the principal aim of which was to explore our reasons for recording buildings, and to consider our ultimate goals. The symposium was divided into two parts. The first was devoted to techniques and theory, with particular emphasis on the objectives of recording both through integration with new repair work and through past (and future) conservation. `Integrated recording and analysis for building conservation projects' by Jason Wood (293--4) considers the need for integrated project design and management in the survey, recording, analysis and interpretation of standing buildings, in advance of, and during, works of repair and conservation. The `Recording and analysis of fabric interventions' is discussed by Gill Chitty (294--5) who deals with a restricted class of buildings # that of consciously preserved ruined masonry structures. `When standing buildings fall' by Edith Evans & Graham Keevill (295--6) considers the nature of the information that can be obtained from excavated masonry buildings which can be used to enlighten the interpretation of less well preserved structures. Graham Fairclough describes the `Spatial and functional analysis of buildings' (296--8) in an attempt to explore the conscious subdivision and allocation of space through the way buildings were designed, built, and used. `Social perceptions of space' by John Schofield (299) considers factors in the built, social, and perceived environment which influenced ancient building design. The second part of the symposium was deliberately structured to discuss the approaches, contrasting or complementary, of the three main disciplines involved in the study of buildings - archaeology, art history and architectural history. These are discussed in three papers: `Archaeological approaches to the recording of buildings' by Jane Grenville & Richard Morris (300--1), `Art history and archaeology' by Richard Morrice (301), and `Broken toes or interdisciplinary ballet: architectural history, archaeology and the recording of buildings' by David Stocker (302--3).
