The architects of OLD NEW talk about additions, transformations and conversions to old buildings. They are introducing the book with a multiminded dialogue about relevant practical aspects in the work with existing buildings:
The first steps in experiencing a complex building, the recognition of its social and cultural values and the criteria of how comprehensive and drastic an intervention in a building can be. They keep in mind the role of the clients attitude towards an existing building, and, of course, there is the argument of cost savings and energy optimization attached to every aspect in their work.
32 Examples with colour pictures, technical drawings and project data layed out for comparison makes this book useful in the planning stage of buildings. ISBN 978-3-0346-0525-0
