Question

The prevailing doctrine among architectural preservationists, codified in the mid-twentieth-century Venice Charter, mandates that physical interventions on historic structures remain visibly distinct from original fabric to avoid historical fabrication. Recently, a vanguard of conservationists has advocated for 'integrative reconstruction'—rebuilding deteriorated monuments using traditional artisanal techniques and indistinguishable local materials to restore the site's intended aesthetic and phenomenological coherence. While traditionalists dismiss this movement as an unprincipled descent into pastiche, such reflexive resistance oversimplifies the philosophical stakes. Integrative reconstruction undoubtedly risks obscuring the temporal strata of a monument if executed without rigorous documentation. Nevertheless, where catastrophic degradation has abruptly truncated an architectural lineage, rigidly enforcing visible demarcation can transform living cultural landmarks into alienated museum artifacts. When paired with scrupulous archival transparency, this approach offers a compelling, if methodologically demanding, avenue for revitalizing cultural heritage.

Which of the following phrases best describes the author's attitude toward 'integrative reconstruction'?
