Description:
Sometimes it is more difficult to renovate a building than to rebuild it from scratch. This is not only because one has to take into account the historical value of certain elements, but also because one does not always know what condition the original building is in. In Europe, the tendency to restore old buildings has led to a certain artificiality in recent years, partly as a result of the Second World War. Many buildings show misunderstood traditionalism, or have been supposedly restored while only the façade has been left standing and the rest is completely new. However, this has also led to a more enlightened view of the conversion of old buildings: it is seen more in the light of the demands of modern life, in which the dialogue with the past has become less important. This book contains carefully selected projects by architects from all over the world who have converted old factories, workshops, stables, farms and mills into private homes.
