Buildings Used takes the reader on an exploration into the impact
of use on buildings and users. While most histories and theories of
architecture focus on a building's conception, design, and
realization, this book argues that its identity is formed after its
completion through use; and that the cultural and psychological
effects of its use on those inhabiting it are profound. Across
eight investigative chapters, authors Nora Lefa and Pavlos Lefas
propose that use should not be understood merely as function.
Instead, this book argues that we also use buildings by creating,
destroying or appropriating them, and discusses a series of
philosophical, cultural and design issues related to use. Buildings
Used would appeal to students and scholars in architectural theory,
history and cultural studies.
