Architectural Regeneration 2020

A comprehensive anddetailed overview of the active regeneration, rehabilitation and revitalisation of architectural heritage.

The combined processes of globalisation, urbanisation, environmental change, population growth and rapid technological development have resulted in an increasingly complex, dynamic and interrelated world, in which concerns about the meaning of cultural heritage and identitycontinue to grow. As the need for culturally and environmentally sustainable design grows, the challenge for professionals involved in the management of inherited built environments is to respond to this ever-changing context in a critical, dynamic and creative way.

Our knowledge and understanding of the principles, approachesandmethodsto sustainably adapt existing buildings and placesisrapidly expanding. Architectural Regeneration contributes to thisknowledge-basethrough a holistic approachthatlinkspolicywithpracticeandestablishesa theoretical framework within which to understand architectural regeneration.Itincludes extensive case studies of theregeneration, rehabilitation and revitalisation of architectural heritagefrom around the world. Different scales andcontextsof architectural regeneration are discussed, includingurban, suburban, rural and temporary.

At a time when regeneration policy has shifted to the recognition that ‘heritage matters’ and that the historic environment and creative industries are a vital driver of regeneration, an increasing workload of architectural practices concerns the refurbishment, adaptive re-use or extension of existing buildings. As a result, this book is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students ofarchitecture, historic conservation, urban and environmental design, sustainability, and urban regeneration, as well as for practitioners and decision makers working in those fields.
