Building for Change : The Architecture of Creative Reuse, Hardcover by Lang, Ruth (EDT), ISBN 3967040445, ISBN-13 9783967040449, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Reduce, reuse and recycle. In today’s world, there is a renewed enthusiasm for the adaptive reuse of our existing structures at different scales - from the material, to spatial, to the programmatic - and even in designing for future deconstruction and new functions. In this context, creativity is demonstrated by the ingenuity with which we might reuse that which surrounds us. This book sets out the principles of a nascent architecture which advocates the practice of care - for our planet, and for our existing buildings - but without dampening creative ambition or architectural aspirations, and which reflects a crescent interest in repopulating mid-sized cities and former industrial areas. Collecting together these strategies for the first time, this book provides inspiration and insight from the architects who have undertaken such a radical new approach. Through the compilation of an international survey of projects, this book will demonstrate how adopting key environmental strategies for reuse can be deployed to spectacular effect.

  1. Book was in excellent new condition as described. Book arrived in great shape. Excellent overall cost. There was a shipping problem however, there were 3 books labeled as shipping together, but 2 separate packages were used and both had same tracking number so first package triggered delivered status on all 3 books even though only 2 arrived, the second package with book 3 came next day. So if you dont get one of your books when it says delivered you might wait a couple days for the 2nd package.

  2. On the hunt for this particular cover art, the seller was very helpful with guidance on how to confirm through an ISBN search with the publisher. That solidified my choice to purchase from this seller. The book was packaged well for shipping and protection during travels. I'm extremely pleased with the pricing coupled with the mint condition of the book and the fast shipping (considering the hinderances caused by the current winter conditions). Great transaction and I will shop with them again!

  3. As pictured / as described. Shipping - I ordered Dec 12 and glanced to see something like "Arrives ... 17th-21st", quickly thinking, "OK - plenty of time for Christmas". When it didn't show up, I went back to find it was actually "January 14th-17th" - oops! my goof! Wasn't expecting 5 week shipping. But ultimately, it did come in on Dec 26th, so quicker than the stated and might have been even quicker if not for holidays. Otherwise, good packing. Quick, easy transaction. Thanks!
