As mounting demographic, economic, and ecological challenges limit opportunities for new construction, architects increasingly focus on transforming and adapting existing buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book introduces adaptive reuse as a new discipline. It provides students and professionals with the understanding and the tools they need to develop innovative and creative approaches, helping them to rethink and redesign existing buildings - a skill which is becoming more and more important. Part I outlines the history of adaptive reuse and explains the concepts and methods that lie behind new design processes and contemporary practice. Part II consists of a wide range of case studies, representing different time periods and strategies for intervention. Iconic adaptive reuse projects such as the Caixa Forum in Madrid and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam are discussed alongside less famous and spontaneous transformations such as the Kunsthaus Tacheles in Berlin, in addition to projects from Italy, Spain, Croatia, Belgium, Poland, and the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing over 100 high-quality color illustrations, \u003ci\u003eAdaptive Reuse of the Built Heritage \u003c\/i\u003eis essential reading for students and professionals in architecture, interior design, heritage conservation, and urban planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bie Plevoets,Koenraad Van Cleempoel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138062758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138062757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Bie Plevoets","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087698014463,"sku":"9781138062757","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad8b40a2-1952-4bfa-9912-0a73222c1266.jpg?v=1769100904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/adaptive-reuse-of-the-built-bie-plevoets-9781138062757","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
