Abstract

Adaptive reuse - the process of repairing and restoring existing buildings for new or continued use - is becoming an essential part of architectural practice. As mounting demographic, economic, and ecological challenges limit opportunities for new construction, architects increasingly focus on transforming and adapting existing buildings.This 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.

Abstract

This publication examines a wide range of unconventional concepts for reusing existing buildings, highlighting successful and innovative solutions, from the reuse of a gothic monastery or the former industrial buildings of Fiat Lingotto to the renovation of structures made of pre-cast concrete panels. a disused power station is converted into a cultural centre, an old barn is made into a residential house. All around us we encounter buildings whose original purpose has rendered them obsolete, and which now offer space for new uses. The construction and building requirements confronting the architect are as varied and individual as the buildings themselves. This publication examines a wide range of realized examples, highlighting successful and innovative solutions, from the rehabilitation of preserved monuments to the renovation or renewal of existing buildings, from the reuse of a gothic monastery or the former industrial buildings of Fiat Lingotto to the renovation of structures made of pre-cast concrete panels. Introductory essays by specialist authors examine the economical, technical, historical aspects of the topic, and the projects presented are documented fully with illustrations, plans and details which have been specially produced by the editorial department of DETAIL.

Abstract

Entreprendre la restauration d'un bâtiment s'avère parfois plus complexe qu'en construire un nouveau. En effet, il convient de tenir compte de deux obligations d'une part celle de conserver les éléments ayant une valeur historique, et d'autre part celle de prendre en considération l'état de la construction existante. Or, il est rare de le connaître avant de démarrer un projet. La tendance européenne, qui était depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale de respecter les constructions historiques, a conduit, ces dernières années, à une approche quelque peu artificieuse. En effet, dans de nombreux projets, le concept de restauration a été mal interprété certains, qualifiés, à tort, de restauration, ne conservaient que la façade, recelant derrière un édifice entièrement nouveau. Ces interventions, ont façonné une nouvelle vision des faits : la restauration devient l'adaptation d'un bâtiment ancien aux nécessités actuelles, reléguant le dialogue avec le passé au second plan. Cet ouvrage offre une sélection hors paire d'œuvres d'architectes du monde entier, un éventail d'anciens espaces restaurés, à l'instar d'ateliers, usines, étables, granges et moulins, reconvertis en habitations privées.
