Adaptation Strategies for Interior Architecture and Design outlines a number of different approaches utilized when designing the interior. The book presents a series of processes that are based upon the responses to a space outlined for new occupation. These processes are exemplified by a series of strategies, which filter and synthesize a mixture of information, ideas and resources, in order to form a new, clear and meaningful spatial design. The book introduces readers to recombinant cultures, methods and processes that explore the importance of context in both its site specific and cultural meaning. It examines a number of
approaches that show how the adaptation of existing and, in particular, old buildings, can provide unique and unusual transformative solutions for the historic and contemporary built environment. Each strategy is demonstrated through highly-illustrated case studies and will be contextualised with an introduction explaining exemplary or key developments in other creative and spatially related fields such as installation art, painting, sculpture and furniture design.
The approach and rationale of the work is very relevant as there is limited research and publications available on this topic. The approach of looking into strategies on existing buildings with new designs and changes in functions is extremely necessary. Markus Berger, Assistant Professor, Department of Interior Architecture, Rhode Island School of Design, US
The content looks to be very suitable, and, importantly very current. Introducing concepts such as 'Superuse', 'Reprogramming' and 'Artifice' pitches this book at the right level, i.e. that this is a serious publication ... As strategies towards the reuse of buildings and the creation of space evolve then it is important that we see publications such as this that reflect those developments.
