Transporting readers from derelict homesteads to imperiled harbors, postindustrial ruins to Cold War test sites from the United States, Europe, and elsewhere, Curated Decay presents a provocation to conventional thinking on the conservation of cultural heritage. Caitlin DeSilvey proposes rethinking the care of certain vulnerable sites in terms of ecology and entropy, and explains how we must adopt an ethical stance that allows us to collaborate with —rather than defend against— natural processes.
