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.

Summary:
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. Works emphasise architectural space as urban or designed social context or product with often temporary pieces constructed from timber or locally salvaged materials. This book offers a survey, with photographic documentation ranging from early domestic interventions, through prolific activity in public realms and to the recent tree huts, which imagine an elevated, alternative perspective. With texts by Jonathan Watkins, Martin Friedman and Guy Tortosa.

Summary:
“Bad Places” – defines spaces of urban wasteland, of landfills but also neglected parks or harmful and unfriendly traffic and infrastructure solutions. In their exhibition in AedesLand, Latz + Partner describe their approach to dealing with these places – the necessity of which goes beyond aesthetic standards in a time where we are faced with a shortage of space and yet continually create new wastelands. “Oases” – selective interventions and special places give an answer to bad places. Primarily, this revolves around the acceptance of devastated and polluted spaces, around the qualities that even such spaces can hold and around the layers that define them and hold the potential of fascinating information. Landscape does not merely exist physically. It represents a repertoire of information which is continually interpreted and re-interpreted by the beholder. The design philosophy of Latz + Partner is rooted in the ambition of facilitating and furnishing new ideas to this process. The exhibition focuses on two key, future-oriented projects: Hiriya, Tel Aviv and Crystal Palace Park, London. These projects, both of which are currently in the planning phase, are complemented by images of built projects, such as the blast furnace park in Duisburg, the Old Harbour in Bremerhaven and the urban transformation on the Plateau de Kirchberg in Luxembourg. Public participation is of great significance in all projects and ecological principles are innate to all of the work.
