Conversion as an environmentally friendly alternative to new buildings
•The new standard reference work in the field
•Presentation and illustration of 30 pioneering case studies
Conversion, adaptation, reuse - these techniques are as old as construction itself. However, since the industrialization of the building industry and the emergence of modernism in architecture, newly constructed buildings have dominated our idea of good and progressive architecture. For decades, conversion did not play a significant role in architectural practice.
Today, things have changed. The industrialization of the construction industry has led to environmental degradation, and the reform potential of modernism has been exhausted. Consequently, the existing building stock is one of the resources - perhaps even the most important resource - for the transformation of our cities. Against this backdrop, the architecture of conversion has made an unexpected comeback. Young architects in particular are providing surprising answers to the environmental and social questions of our time with their conversion projects.
This book introduces 30 examples that illustrate how seemingly everyday conversions can be turned into groundbreaking architecture, while eight essays shed light on the important role of conversion in history and the theory of architecture. With contributions by 51N4E, Arno Brandlhuber, Assemble, BeL, Bovenbouw, Christoph Grafe, Lacaton & Vasall, NL Architects, noA architecten, Muck Petzet, Tim Rieniets, de Vylder Vinck Tailieu, and many others. 作为新建筑物的环境友善替代品•领域内的新标准参考工作•30个开创性案例研究的介绍和说明/转换、改造、再利用——这些技术与建筑本身一样古老。然而，随着建筑工业的产业化和现代主义建筑的出现，新建的建筑占据了我们优秀和进步的建筑理念。几十年来，改建在建筑实践中并没有起到重要作用，今天，情况发生了变化。建筑工业的产业化导致了生物可分解添加物，现代主义的改革潜力已经耗尽。因此，现有建筑物是我们城市转型的资源之一，甚至可能是最重要的资源。在这样的背景下，转变的建筑，意外地卷土重来了。这本书介绍了30个例子，说明了看似日常的转换是如何转变成突破性的建筑的，同时还有八篇文章阐明了转换在历史和建筑理论中的重要作用。由51n4e，arno brandlhuber，assemble，bel，bovenbouw，christoph grafe，lacaton & vasall nl architects，noa architecten，muck petzet，tim rieniets，de vylder vinck tailieu，和许多其他建筑师贡献。
