Adaptable Architecture provides thought-provoking and inquisitive
insights into how we can prolong the useful life of buildings by
designing them to be more adaptable, and hence create a more
sustainable built environment. The book provides a theoretical
foundation counterpointed by the experiences and ideas of those
involved in the design and use of buildings. It explains many
approaches to designing for change, with lessons from history, and
case studies including The Cedar Rapids Public Library, Kentish
Town Health Centre and Folkestone Performing Arts Centre, which
stretch our thinking beyond the conventional notions of
adaptability. The authors reveal the many conditions that make it a
complex design phenomenon, by considering the purpose, design and
business case of buildings as well as the physical product. Full of
summaries, diagrams, reference charts, tables, and photos of
exemplar solutions for use as conversational tools or working aids,
this book is for any professional or student who wants to research,
question, imagine, illustrate - and ultimately design for -
adaptation. In addition, further information and resources are
available through the Adaptable Futures website
www.adaptablefutures.com which includes additional case studies,
videos, information about industry events and up-to-the-minute
developments.
