The adaptive reuse of buildings, where changes in the structure go along with new programs and functions, poses the fundamental question of how the past should be included in the design for the future. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e On the background of long years of teaching and publishing, and using vivid imagery from Frankenstein to Rem Koolhaas and beyond, the author provides a comprehensive introduction to architectural design for adaptive reuse projects. History and theory, building typology, questions of materials and construction, aspects of preservation, urban as well as interior design are dealt with in ways that allow to approach adaptive reuse as a design practice field of its own right. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The second revised edition includes a bibliography and detailed indices. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eFundamental introduction to an important field of architectural design \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e For those who teach and those who learn \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e Expanded edition includes a comprehensive bibliography \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiliane Wong\u003c\/b\u003e's focus on architectural interventions to existing structures led her to cofound the \u003cem\u003eIntAR Journal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e on design interventions and adaptive reuse, which promotes creative and\u003cbr\u003e academic explorations of sustainable environments through exemplary \u003cbr\u003eworks of reuse.
