Alt und Neu liefert einen umfassenden Uberblick uber intelligente Konzepte fur den Umgang mit Bestand, gegliedert in die Kategorien Addition, Transformation und Umnutzung. Vorgestellt werden sowohl alltagliche Projekte wie die Revitalisierung von Wohnbauten der 50er bis 70er-Jahre als auch spektakulare Bauaufgaben. Mit Fachbeitragen zu technischen Aspekten der Sanierung, z.B. energetische Ertuchtigung.

In den letzten Jahren und Jahrzehnten ist die Auseinandersetzung mit dem architektonischen Erbe des Industriezeitalters immer mehr zur planerischen Aufgabe geworden: Industriebauten und -areale, Infrastrukturanlagen und Wohngebiete haben sich im Zuge des Strukturwandels zu Leerstellen entwickelt, die aber - allein aufgrund ihrer Dimensionen - im Stadtraum nicht zu vernachlassigen sind. Innovative Neudeutungen solcher Relikte lassen sich aktuell europaweit beobachten - so etwa im Fall des Toni-Areals in Zurich oder der Ile de Nantes. Dabei wird der Bestand in einer Weise aktualisiert, die...

Historic Preservation for Designers offers a comprehensive overview of historic preservation with a focus on historic interiors, historic building materials, and the adaptive reuse of interiors.

The text explores issues including building restoration and rehabilitation standards, adaptive reuse...

A striking new investigation of design strategies, ideas and critical thinking in interior architecture.

Using 40 international case studies, Adaptation Strategies for Interior Architecture and Design starts with the existing building and shows how designers and architects can bring together responses, ideas and resources in order to form new, clear and meaningful spatial designs.

With 20 years' experience in the field, Brooker introduces readers to the importance of context in both its site-specific and cultural meaning - from a disused aircraft hangar, to an old water...

Post-occupancy evaluation, focusing on building s occupants and their needs, provides insight into the consequences of past design decisions and forms a sound basis for creating better buildings in the future.

This book, first published in 1988, includes a review of the evolution of the field, a conceptual frame-work for POE, and pragmatic information on planning, conducting, and reporting POEs. "Post-Occupancy Evaluation" categorizes the approaches to building evaluation by describing the three levels of POE effort indicative, investigative, and diagnostic, each differing in terms of...

Design interventions for the reuse of existing structures must face the question of the past and the extent to which it should be included in the design for the future. This is the point of departure of Int - AR, a yearly publication on current issues in international adaptive reuse.

Where the creative industries cater to enhanced consumption, they are able to produce growth even in times of global economic decline. Such interventions, therefore, raise an immediate interest. The design and production of experience has focused on unprecedented spatial encounters. From innovative...
