Building in existing fabric requires more than practical solutions
and stylistic skills. The adaptive reuse of buildings, where
changes in the structure go along with new programs and functions,
poses the fundamental question of how the past should be included
in the design for the future. On the background of long years of
teaching and publishing, and using vivid imagery from Frankenstein
to Rem Koolhaas and beyond, the author provides a comprehensive
introduction to architectural design for adaptive reuse projects.
History and theory, building typology, questions of materials and
construction, aspects of preservation, urban as well as interior
design are dealt with in ways that allow to approach adaptive reuse
as a design practice field of its own right.
