Edited by Michael J. Crosbie, this illustrated architectural study examines how existing mid-century buildings can be adapted for another generation of use. Through six projects by Mitchell/Giurgola Architects, it considers the decisions involved in retaining, transforming and upgrading structures whose original purpose or performance no longer meets contemporary needs. Photographs, plans and explanatory material show the relationship between existing fabric and new interventions, setting design choices within the practical demands of each project. Rather than treating ageing buildings as exhausted resources, the case studies explore the architectural potential of what is already there. The book offers architects, students and readers interested in preservation a detailed view of renewal through reuse.
