For architects striking out on their own, such projects offer the opportunity to flex their muscles and lead a project for the first time. A home in Brooklyn, featured in the book, was refurbished after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the Eastern Seaboard in 2012. The living space was raised above the high-water line, an answer to the grim fact that once-in-a-generation occurrences are a new reality. Historic conversions celebrate the unexpected relationship between old and new, and adaptive reuse projects reinvent the buildings around us"--Publisher ER -
