Liliane Wong's latest volume on adaptive reuse in architecture presents 50 spectacular conversion and reuse projects worldwide, including buildings such as the TWA Hotel at NewYork's John F. Kennedy Airport, the CaixaForum in Madrid, and the New Museum in Berlin. The projects are presented using a new classification system that addresses practitioners as well as academics. The author's introductory essay provides a comprehensive overview and h...

Adaptive reuse is a design practice where changes in the building structure go along with new programs and functions. Many concerns of the day that are the hallmark of current social discourse can equally be communicated through the vocabulary of design and reuse. Six common themes mirroring those of society in the new millennium are discernable in the current adaptive reuse practice: appropriation, ecology, equity, memory & redemption, identi...

Narrative environments are a compositional strategy to re-present the times in a life of a building. Narratives associate the many different times and spaces inherent in a particular space at a specific time. The reuse of materials, transformative interventions and the continuation of cultural phenomena result in densely woven narratives. The buildings, projects andessays of the current Int | AR volume explore the stories that inhabit spaces.

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. When and how is material from an existing building the catalyst for art? When does art create function and program within adaptive reuse projects? How can art tra...

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, therefo...

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 comp...

Entwurfliche Eingriffe in bestehende Bauten stehen immer vor der Frage nach der Gegenwart der Vergangenheit: Wie soll das Alte im Neuen aufscheinen? Dies ist der Ausgangspunkt von Int | AR, einer jährlichen Publikation zu aktuellen Fragen von Umbau und Umnutzung in den Entwurfsdisziplinen. Wasser hat immer als Inspiration, als Material, als Katalysator für Stadt und Architektur gedient - von Carlo Scarpas poetischem Umgang mit dem Element, übe...
