It investigates the nature and extent of sustainable conversion in a number of global cities, as well as the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal drivers and barriers to successful conversion. The book also identifies the key lessons learned through international comparisons with cases in the UK, US, Australia, and the Netherlands. Building Urban Resilience Through Change of Use covers the benefits and aspects of sustainable conversion adaptation through the whole lifecycle from inception, planning, and design, to procurement, construction, and management and operational issues. It illustrates and quantifies, through empirical research, the changes that have been achieved or delivered in sustainable conversion adaptation. The book gives an overview of all aspects of performance characteristics and the conversion adaptation of existing buildings. In the end, it enables planners to make more informed decisions about whether conversion adaptation is a good choice—and if so, which types of sustainability measures are best suited for projects. Provides detailed, empirical knowledge based on real-world research undertaken in five countries over three continents on both a citywide scale and on individual buildings  Case studies and exemplars demonstrate the application of the knowledge in North and South America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and in Europe Addresses the key themes of technology, finance and procurement, and the regulatory framework The first research-based book to examine how to improve resilience to climate change through sustainable reuse of buildings, Building Urban Resilience Through Change of Use is a welcome book for researchers and academics involved in building surveying, urban development, and sustainability planning"--Provided by publisher."Describes all aspects of sustainable conversion adaptation of existing buildings and provides solutions for making urban settlements resilient to climate change"--Provided by publisher.Innovation in the built environment.City planningEnvironmental aspectsSustainable urban developmentCity planningEnvironmental aspects.Sustainable urban development.307.1216BUS072000bisacshWilkinson Sara J.Remøy HildeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910271059003321Building urban resilience through change of use2051099UNINA02586nam 22004575 450 991096922180332120230809223510.00-300-22790-610.12987/9780300227901(CKB)3710000001139800(MiAaPQ)EBC4832375(DE-B1597)540491(DE-B1597)9780300227901(OCoLC)980348031(EXLCZ)99371000000113980020200229h20172017 fg engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBlameless /Claudio MagrisNew Haven, CT : Yale University Press, [2017]©20171 online resource (xii, 349 pages)The Margellos World Republic of LettersFrontmatter -- CONTENTS -- TRANSLATOR'S NOTE -- Blameless -- AUTHOR'S NOTE -- TRANSLATOR'S GLOSSARYFrom one of Europe's most revered authors, a tale of one man's obsessive project to collect the instruments of death, evil, and humanity's darkest atrocities in order to oppose them Claudio Magris's searing new novel ruthlessly confronts the human obsession with war and its savagery in every age and every country. His tale centers on a man whose maniacal devotion to the creation of a Museum of War involves both a horrible secret and the hope of redemption. Luisa Brooks, his museum's curator, a descendant of victims of Jewish exile and of black slavery, has a complex dilemma: will the collections she exhibits save humanity from repeating its tragic and violent past? Or might the display of articles of war actually valorize and memorialize evil atrocities? In Blameless Magris affirms his mastery of the novel form, interweaving multiple themes and traveling deftly through history. With a multitude of stories, the author investigates individual sorrow, the societal burden of justice aborted, and the ways in which memory and historical evidence are sabotaged or sometimes salvaged.Margellos world republic of letters bookMilitary paraphernaliaCollectors and collectingItaly20th centuryFictionMilitary paraphernaliaCollectors and collecting.853/.914Magris Claudioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut61238Appel Anne Milano1162212DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910969221803321Blameless4488750UNINA
