In the conservation of art and monuments, restoration is the treatment that returns a damaged or altered work toward an earlier state, together with the contested theory of how far that is legitimate. Eugene Viollet-le-Duc's 1866 entry on restauration in his Dictionnaire raisonne de l'architecture francaise defined it as reinstating a building in a complete condition, and Cesare Brandi's 1963 Teoria del restauro reframed it around the artwork's material and its image and the reversibility of any intervention. The object restored is a specific cultural artifact whose original the treatment tries to recover or respect, unlike a living tooth rebuilt for function, an ecosystem repaired by process, or a person's attention renewed by rest.[1][2]
Restoration ecology is the science of actively repairing ecosystems that have been degraded, damaged, or destroyed, so that their species, structure, and functions recover. Aldo Leopold's 1930s prairie plantings are often named as the practical origin, but Anthony Bradshaw's 1983 The reconstruction of ecosystems framed restoration as a rigorous test of ecological understanding, and Katharine Suding's 2011 review took stock of what such projects had and had not achieved. What is restored is a whole biological system across a site over years, gauged by ecological recovery, which is a different object from a rebuilt tooth, a treated painting, or a rested human mind.[3][4]
In environmental psychology, restoration is the recovery of a person's depleted psychological resources, above all the capacity for directed attention, typically after time spent in restful or natural settings. Rachel and Stephen Kaplan's 1989 The Experience of Nature introduced attention restoration theory, Stephen Kaplan's 1995 paper set out its integrative framework, and Hartig and colleagues' 1997 work built a scale to measure how restorative an environment feels. What recovers here is a mental capacity inside a person, read from attention and mood, which is unrelated to a rebuilt tooth, a treated artwork, or a repaired ecosystem despite the common label.[5][6][7]
In architectural conservation, restoration refers to intervention that returns a historic building to an earlier state, a practice debated against conservation since the nineteenth century. This meaning comes from Jokilehto (1999) in A history of architectural conservation.[8]
