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:
Les grands ensembles français connaissent aujourd'hui des orientations très contrastées, voire contradictoires : certains sont en voie de démolition quasi-complète depuis les Programmes nationaux de rénovation urbaine, d'autres sont considérés comme patrimoines, emblématiques de l'histoire urbaine française et à ce titre valorisés. Entre ces deux extrêmes existent par ailleurs une multitude d'autres situations. Que peut-on alors dire du devenir des grands ensembles, à l'heure de leur soixantenaire ? Cet ouvrage prend pour objets de réflexion des grands ensembles exemplaires ceux du sud-est de Saint-Etienne. Beaulieu, comptant parmi la série de six qui en 1953 lance les grands ensembles français, est aujourd'hui labellisé Patrimoine du XXe siècle.

Summary:
Ernest Batchelder's ceramic tile making enterprise began as a modest backyard venture in rural Pasadena, California but quickly grew to prominence far beyond. New York, Minneapolis and Vancouver would soon become host to major Batchelder architectural ceramic installations. His clients ranged from restaurants to churches to high-rise office buildings but perhaps the most striking installations remain the many fireplaces gracing modest American bungalows throughout the country. This book represents the first comprehensive overview of his tilemaking.

Summary:
Preserving New York: Winning the Right to Protect A Citys Landmarks is the largely unknown inspiring story of the origins of New York Citys nationally acclaimed landmarks law. The decades of struggle behind the law, its intellectual origins, the men and women who fought for it, the forces that shaped it, and the buildings lost and saved on the way to its ultimate passage, span from 1913 to 1965. Intended for the interested public as well as students of New York City history, architecture, and preservation itself, over 100 illustrations help reveal a history richer and more complex than the accepted myth that the landmarks law sprang from the wreckage of the great Pennsylvania Station. Images include those by noted historic photographers as well as those from newspaper accounts of the time. Forgotten civic leaders such as Albert S. Bard and lost buildings including the Brokaw Mansions, are unveiled in an extensively researched narrative bringing this essential episode in New Yorks history to futuregenerations tasked with protecting the citys landmarks. For the first time, the story of how New York won the right to protect its treasured buildings, neighborhoods and special places is brought together to enjoy, inform, and inspire all who love New York.
