Description
Making old buildings live again has become one of the most exciting new movements in the United States. A growing number of individuals and communities are converting old but good buildings to new, economically self sustaining, and even profitable uses. This is the first book on this important movement. Buildings Reborn examines through descriptive text, photographs and drawings the new life given to older structures through adaptive reuse. It provides a comprehensive look at the process of transforming crumbling liabilities into radiant new civic assets-often showing these buildings in their original glory, their premature old age, and their current rebirth. Examples are drawn from all types of buildings throughout the United States, and each of the 95 examples is discussed in detail with text and illustrations. Buildings Reborn is the inspiring record of the process of renewal that has shown tremendous growth in the past decade and that offers great promise for the future.
