Lipp's work deals with monument theory and monument research as well as with the complex of world heritage. Since the 1990s, questions about the relevance of monument preservation for our society and the updating of traditional monument values ​​have been in his focus. It was Lipp who invited the monument preservation department to take a seat on the "Postmodern sofa" and examine the new dominance of the image and the value of monuments. He discusses everyday monument staging, but also the justification and justification of reconstructions as challenges of monument preservation, but also repeatedly devotes himself to the contradicting legacy of the 20th century. In 1993 he coined the term repair society in this context - Lipp advocates complex repairs to nature and people and seeks to position current and future monument preservation as part of a repair society understood in this way.
