Summary:
Energy is everything and we are used to this in the means of energy reduction for our buildings. The reduction in energy used in a climate-efficient building during its lifetime is equal to the energy consumption necessary to produce and install the building. This publication focuses on the embodied energy aspects of building materials, their life cycle and their(...)

Energy is everything and we are used to this in the means of energy reduction for our buildings. The reduction in energy used in a climate-efficient building during its lifetime is equal to the energy consumption necessary to produce and install the building. This publication focuses on the embodied energy aspects of building materials, their life cycle and their potentials for reuse as energy or in construction, and presents some far-reaching design ideas.

This publication covers ten years of the AIA Small Project Awards program. Enough time has passed to meaningfully revisit and showcase previous award winning work, and to provide a record for readers to take stock of the evolution of the Small Project Awards program as a whole. Organized into four chapters Objects and Pavilions, Houses, Details, and Adaptive Reuse/Interiors this book reveals that small projects have properties, uses, foci, and contexts that are distinct from architecture that operates at larger scales.

Summary:
Re-readings responds to remodelling as a distinct discipline, making sense of the considerable structural, aesthetic, environmental, contextual and programmatic challenges of remodelling existing buildings. Illustrated throughout with a rich international portfolio of case studies, it explains the theory behind the way that architects and designers interpret and adapt buildings. It proposes that the complete analysis of the history, fabric and function of a building is key to designing its successful reuse, an exercise that Giancarlo de Carlo called ‘the revelatory capacity of reading'.

Summary:
Architecture builds upon history. Even the avant-gardist creed to “make it new” still assumes a past. It is impossible to imagine novelty without an awareness of what existed before. This is even more true for the reuse and appropriation of existing structures, where designers take a stance relative to the past. In their transformation projects the office of(...)

Summary:
Architecture builds upon history. Even the avant-gardist creed to “make it new” still assumes a past. It is impossible to imagine novelty without an awareness of what existed before. This is even more true for the reuse and appropriation of existing structures, where designers take a stance relative to the past. In their transformation projects the office of diederendirrix architects retell stories of buildings and sites – by paraphrasing part of the story, by recasting central actors, by making architecture speak in other words. In so doing, they make it anew.

Summary:
London evokes many imaginaries and ideas. This thematic issue investigates the residential project as a critical juncture, a concurrence of opportunities to challenge convention.
