When much of our existing housing stock was built, lifestyles were very different. This means that a large portion of architects' work has been adapting these older buildings, rather than building afresh. The challenge, then, is to adapt our old buildings to our new ways of living, without destroying what we value about these older homes. Adapting often mean adding more space, such as extensions, roofs, or even basements, while maintaining the original facade. This book is about the challenge of adapting our old buildings to our new lifestyles in lots of different and creative ways.

Sinopsis

Cuando la mayor parte de las viviendas existentes se construyeron, el estilo de vida de las familias que las habitaban era muy distinto. Una parte muy importante del trabajo arquitect�nico ha sido adaptar estos edificios a los nuevos tiempos para no construirlos de nuevo. El reto es por ello adaptar nuestros antiguos edificios a nuestra forma moderna de vivir, sin destruir lo que apreciamos de estas viviendas. Y la adaptaci�n ha significado, en muchas ocasiones, a�adir m�s espacio. Muchas veces en la parte de atr�s, en un lateral o en el tejado, e incluso por debajo, para mantener intacta la fachada principal del edificio como parte del paisaje urban�stico. Este libro trata el reto de adaptar nuestros antiguos edificios a nuestra nueva forma de vida, de muchas formas distintas y muy creativas.
