Sommario/riassunto

"Adaptive reuse" bezeichnet ein Entwerfen, das beim Bauen im Bestand neue Raumprogramme und Funktionen plant und realisiert. Auch viele aktuelle Themen, die den Diskurs über die sozialen Dimensionen der Architektur bestimmen, werden im Zusammenhang mit "adaptive reuse" formuliert und kommuniziert. Sechs dieser Themen lassen sich in der gegenwärtigen Praxis identifizieren: Aneignung, Ökologie, Eigentum, Erinnerung/Gedenken, Identität und Authentizität. Die hier ausgewählten Beiträge und Case Studies aus dem internationalen Journal IntӏAR Interventions and Adaptive Reuse handeln von dieser sozialen Agenda in den Jahren 2009 bis 2019. Der einleitende Essay positioniert die Veränderungen durch die Pandemie wie Homeoffice und digitales Lernen aus der Sicht des "adaptive reuse" von Büro- und Hoch-/Schulbauten.

Adaptive reuse is a design practice where changes in the building structure go along with new programs and functions. Many concerns of the day that are the hallmark of current social discourse can equally be communicated through the vocabulary of design and reuse. Six common themes mirroring those of society in the new millennium are discernable in the current adaptive reuse practice: appropriation, ecology, equity, memory & redemption, identity and authenticity. Selected articles from the IntAR Interventions and Adaptive Reuse Journal of the last ten years speak to the social issues of the recent decade. The introductory essay positions shifting norms of working from home or remote learning in the light of their revision through adaptive reuse, for example the post-pandemic repercussions on office towers and the classroom.

Sommario/riassunto

With new and growing interest in dealing with the hazards of reactive chemicals, this book offers guidelines that can significantly reduce the risk or mitigate the severity of accidents associated with storing and handling reactive materials. Necessary elements of a reliable system to prevent equipment or human failures that might lead to a reactive chemical incident are sound and responsible management policies, together with a combination of superior siting, design, fabrication, erection, inspection, monitoring, maintenance, operations and maintenance of facilities. These Guidelines deal wit
