Abstract

Buildings have always been reused but the process of doing so has rarely been treated as a distinct artist discipline. Responds to remodelling as a distinct discipline, making sense of the structural, aesthetic, environmental, contextual and programmatic challenges of remodelling existing buildings. Illustrated throughout with case studies, it explains the theory behind the way that architects and designers interpret and adapt buildings, arguing that re-reading is the only way to establish a meaningful symbiotic relationship between the new and old.
