The July/August issue of The Architectural Review celebrates the winning and commended projects of the AR New into Old awards 2023, which demonstrate the imaginative appropriation of existing structures – from innovative insertions to ambitious adaptations – that offer buildings a new lease of life. It also looks at demolition, from the obliteration of entire neighbourhoods to the buildings that should have remained standing, to ask the question: should anything ever be demolished?
