Modern organisations are subject to continual change - technologies evolve, organisational structures are modified, people and underlying cultures are transformed. Yet the facilities that organisations occupy are static and can impede the changes that are essential to organisational survival. The response to change in terms of property and support services is often too little too late - leading to facilities that do not support organisational reality. The facilities management team is thus constantly challenged to bridge the gap between what an organisation has and what it needs. Facil

Architectural work on existing structures has become enormously important in recent years. For the majority of architects, this is where future market opportunities will lie. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field and is thus addressed to all practitioners, students, and building sponsors whose interest goes beyond an initial encounter with this wideranging field of activity. Contradicting the conventional view that creative design work is the exclusive province of new building design, the authors offer a nuanced account of active and creative strategies for planning, design, and execution. Subjects considered range from town planning issues through the overall project cycle and its individual phases all the way to building management. Special focuses are the "grammar of design" as well as the issues arising through collaboration of different experts. In order to illuminate this broad and complex spectrum of topics, the book incorporates thirty examples of projects from Europe and North America, in which buildings from a huge variety of periods - from the Middle Ages to the 1960s - are transferred into the present. Die architektonische Arbeit im Kontext bestehender Bauten hat in den letzten Jahren immens an Bedeutung gewonnen. Für den Großteil der Architekten werden hier die zukünftigen Marktchancen liegen. Das Buch bietet eine umfassende Orientierung für diesen Bereich und richtet sich damit an alle Praktiker, Studenten und Bauherren, deren Interesse über eine erste Begegnung mit dem großen Aufgabenfeld hinausgeht. Entgegen einer konventionellen Auffassung, dass das gestaltende Entwerfen den Neubau-Projekten vorbehalten sei, beschreiben die Autoren differenziert aktive, kreative Strategien für Planung, Entwurf und Ausführung. Die Themen reichen von städtebaulichen Fragen über den Projektablauf und die Leistungsphasen bis hin zum Gebäudemanagement. Besondere Schwerpunkte bilden Fragen der Zusammenarbeit der beteiligten Experten sowie eine "Grammatik des Entwerfens".Zur Erläuterung des weiten und komplexen Themenspektrums sind 30 Beispiele von Projekten aus Europa und Nordamerika eingebunden, bei denen Bauten aus unterschiedlichsten Entstehungszeiten - vom Mittelalter bis in die 1960er Jahre - auf vorbildliche Weise "in die Gegenwart überführt" wurden.
