Summary:
In "Reinventing heritage," Park Associati—a Milan-based interdisciplinary collective of architects, designers, and researchers—explores the transformative potential of adaptive reuse in architecture as a key strategy to address environmental, social, and economic challenges. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding, adaptive reuse champions the repurposing of existing structures to extend their lifecycle, reduce waste, and foster sustainable urban regeneration. Through a combination of theoretical insights and practical case studies, "Reinventing heritage" highlights the diverse ways in which adaptive reuse can revitalize cities and honor cultural heritage while creating innovative spaces serving contemporary demands.

Tadashi Kawamatas curious installations manifest at a variety of locations around the globe, from Centre Pompidou, Paris, and Madison Square Park, New York, to Documenta IX and the Shanghai Biennale.

With texts by Jonathan Watkins, Martin Friedman and Guy Tortosa.

Summary:
'Neighbourhood planning (NP), introduced by the Localism Act of 2011, is the right for communities to decide the future of the places where they live and work. This book examines the experience of neighbourhood planners, analysing what communities have achieved, how they have done so and what went well or badly. Comparing NP with other forms of community planning and highlighting the main lessons learned so far, it acts as a navigation tool for people already involved in neighbourhood planning, as well as those contemplating participation.
