This new edition addresses the issue of preservation and adaptive reuse as a sustainable architectural strategy. A representative group of 17 houses reveals an evolving legacy, now adapting to contemporary life. Each is examined in detail, with plans, timelines, and both archival and new photography, capturing the clean, minimalist look of the initial construction and re-imagining by significant architects of our time. Today preservation and renovation of older buildings has new visibility as a sustainable approach. As the National Trust for Historic Preservation has said, "The greenest building is the one that is already built."

Résumé:
Chicago photographer Brad Temkin (born 1956) brings attention to the visual and ecological beauty of the transformation of water, by showing the structures and processes that most people do not even think about. Most storm water runoff is considered waste, yet more than 700 cities reclaim and reuse wastewater and storm water with combined sewer systems, recycling it for agricultural uses and even drinking water. As we mimic nature and separate the impurities like sludge, salt or chemicals, a transformation occurs. Temkin believes it matters less what each structure really is used for, or whether the water pictured is pure or waste. He is drawn to the strangeness of these forms and the distorted sense of scale. Moving beyond mere description, he embraces the abstract and surreal landscape of water transformation.

Résumé:
12 Ballads for Huguenot House chronicles an ambitious project by American installation artist Theaster Gates (born 1973), in which he attempts to unite two disused buildings — one in Chicago and the other in Kassel, Germany — by dismantling parts of each to reuse in the rebuilding of the other. Huguenot House, in Kassel, was built in the early nineteenth century by migrant workers, as were so many of the houses in Gates’ own neighborhood in Chicago, and today is in a state of disrepair. Gates therefore proposed a unique architectural exchange, transporting materials from a large, dilapidated building in Chicago to renovate Huguenot House, while also reusing materials from Huguenot House to reconstruct the Chicago building. In this volume, Gates documents his plans for the exchange in 12 thematic “ballads” that elucidate the project’s rich historical and architectural resonances.

Résumé:
This issue of the Cornell Journal of Architecture is about the now, the new, and the next in architecture, while simultaneously acknowledging that every possible future is intrinsically linked to the existent, to the present and its attendant past. At the heart of issue 8: RE is the understanding that the creative act itself is reiterative; that in rethinking, recombining, reshuffling, recycling, and reimagining aspects of the world around us, we produce work that both belongs to the current moment and establishes new future trajectories. The texts reflect the interconnected strands of technology, history, theory, and intuition that necessarily reinforce each other in architectural education and practice today: issues of reuse and recycling; of feedback loops and regression; of dialogue, criticism, and correspondence; and of the role that changing technologies have in restructuring the way we think, see, and remember.

Résumé:
As the first independent environments children encounter beyond the home, nurseries, daycare centres, and kindergartens should not appear merely as colourful fantasy worlds. Well-conceived early-learning centres and schools create a microcosm modelled on everyday life – child-friendly yes, but by no means childish. Such places offer security while inviting discovery, appropriation, and adaptation. In this issue we profile child-focused environments realised both as new builds and through adaptive reuse. A kindergarten on a disused industrial site near Copenhagen follows circular construction principles, using mostly materials salvaged from the dilapidated primary school that once stood there. Newly built daycare centres in the German state of Hessen and in Slovenia draw on local building traditions and the surrounding natural landscape. Meanwhile, a former East German telephone exchange was transformed into a playscape that anchors a childcare facility on a university campus in Merseburg.

Bricks can be cleaned, timber hardens with age, and metal develops a pleasing patina without deteriorating, making them all perfect for reuse. Considering the many options for reusing building materials, this book offers a viable alternative to using those manufactured from virgin resources. This inspiring book is an antidote to the unsustainable use of materials, focusing on contemporary homes made with reused components or materials that might once have been considered waste. Divided into four key categoriesbrick— timber, metal, and a range of recycled materials— every home showcases design ingenuity and award-winning architecture. Featuring twenty-four unique houses and apartments, from a barn-inspired house made entirely with reclaimed bricks to a semidetached Edwardian with recycled benchtops and cabinets made from plastic chopping boards and bottle tops, every project shows what can be achieved with creativity and flair. Reclaimed showcases clever design while celebrating the myriad possibilities of closely aligning building with ethics and sustainability.

Do you know how to design for a circular economy? A truly sustainable, circular economy is both a robust and viable option for architecture. Through 24 inspirational case studies, interviews and essays, this book is an accessible and practical guide to how architects can move from a linear economy towards a circular economy. This atlas to sustainable, closed-loop systems takes the reader on a journey through four distinct steps (Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Circular Economy) that show how they can dramatically reduce the negative impact humans have on the planet. It gives architects the skills and knowledge to navigate through the emerging fields of resource management towards a true Circular Economy. Each step is supplemented with an in-depth interview with an expert who is successfully tacking one or more of the challenges facing all designers today. If we change our behaviour, we enable humanity to work with nature rather than against it.

The construction industry is responsible for an estimated third of global waste, while reuse of construction materials is not increasing fast enough. The same sector accounts for at least 40 per cent of global carbon-dioxide emissions. There is thus an urgent need to showcase how novel approaches in digital fabrication might be able to enhance thesustainability of buildings and transform construction. Featuring specialists from architecture, engineering and materials science, this AD presents innovative research and new construction systems, approaches and trends to demonstrate how existing methods and unique concepts that utilise cutting-edge technologies can, in a short space of time, help us advance towards a culture of sustainable construction. It focuses on digital design and manufacturing, including XR technologies, and highlights unique ways to build with earth or concrete.

Résumé:
This book is based on a conference sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts with the Woodrow Wilson Center concerning strategies for the reuse of dead malls in America's first-ring suburbs. Originally celebrated as community centers, the substantial commercial success of the early suburban shopping center was fleeting, as subsequent generations of ever-larger malls have left behind a landscape of struggling and boarded- up shells. This pervasive condition is presented in the context of the history of public space and the shopping mall. The book includes essays by Robert Fishman, Benjamin Barber and Margaret Crawford and innovative projects for the strip and mixed-use developments by such architects as RoTo, Lewis, Tsurumaki, Lewis, ShoP and Gary Handel + Associates. A roundtable with developers and bankers on obstacles to the redevelopment of failed shopping centers is also included. The review of case studies and projective work is intended to foster a more serious examination of new models for making and using public space.

Résumé:
In 1965, leading Swiss furniture company USM patented its signature modular furniture system, USM Haller. This flexible storage solution for both home and office was inspired by Fritz Haller’s modular architecture and designed for infinite reuse and reconfiguration. Considered a design classic, USM Haller is included in the collections of major museums including MoMA and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. Released as part of USM’s fiftieth-anniversary celebration of this iconic furniture design, Rethink the Modular examines the role of unit-based systems in the wider context of architecture and design. It combines previously published writings, specially commissioned essays from thinkers and innovators John Thackara and Rick Poyner, and interviews with leading figures in the design world that explain how the concept of the modular influences their work. Interspersed with visual material, the texts reveal the many possibilities created by balancing structure with flexibility, and seek to redefine the place of modularity in modern design history.
