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 comprehensive introduction to architectural design for adaptive reuse projects. History and theory, building typology, questions of materials and construction, aspects of preservation, urban as well as interior design are dealt with in ways that allow to approach adaptive reuse as a design practice field of its own right. The second revised edition includes a bibliography and detailed indices"-- Preface 6 -- 00 Babel 10 -- 01 New Order: The Frankenstein Syndrome 32 -- 02 Plunder: Erasure & Redemption 44 -- 03 The Quest for Immortality 60 -- 04 Battle of the Immortals 74 -- 05 Immortality Redefined 82 -- 06 Immortality Codified 92 -- 07 Hosts [and Guests] 104 -- 08 Considering DNA 124 -- 09 Ghosts 138 -- 10 Fitting In 150 -- 11 The Impassive Host 164 -- 12 Sited Interventions 178 -- 13 The Mathematics of Reuse 192 -- 14 A New and Distant Frontier 226 -- 15 Second Violin 242 -- Index of Subjects 249 -- Index of Buildings, Works and Projects 250 -- Bibliography 255 -- About Author 258 -- Illustration Credits 259 -- Liliane Wong.
