Changing Places: ReMaking Institutional Buildings

Description

This groundbreaking collection of essays explores the problems of large, historically significant institutional buildings, which are deteriorating or abandoned because they are no longer viable for their original purpose. Historical and interpretative issues basic to the understanding and reuse of these buildings are examined. Containing work by both scholars and practicing architects, the collection contains over 150 photographs and drawings and discusses successful and unsuccessful examples of reuse in case studies from the U.S., Canada, and Europe.
