Adapt!

This book showcases design and practice-based approaches to the sustainable, adaptive reuse of historic places. Building on their extensive research in the field, authors Hannah Lewi and Cameron Logan have engaged with a range of architects and heritage practitioners to gain first-hand insights into their methods and experiences with the delicate and complex task of creating contemporary spaces from much-loved but timeworn buildings. Containing a detailed unpacking of expert knowledge, the book presents case studies of leading-edge approaches to adaptive reuse in heritage and historically significant sites over the past decade.
