The challenge of appropriately modernising historic buildings
presents older European metropolises in particular with a wide range
of tasks. This book examines drastic changes that affect buildings
from many different historical eras in an increasingly rapid process.
Such changes take the form of energy optimisation, extensions, conversions,
the addition of extra storeys, adaptation to new town planning
contexts, or a resource conservation approach to the substance
of listed old buildings; this may involve decisions to re-use buildings
intelligently rather than to demolish them.
The third small-format architecture guide to Hamburg focuses on
this topic and presents projects that have been completed in recent
years, as well as plans for the future that have a realistic chance of
being implemented. All of the projects are presented with the most
important core data and an explanatory text and their locations are
also marked on maps. Hanno Rauterberg gives an overview of a
changing Hamburg, while brief portraits of Hamburg's seven boroughs
also illustrate special local features.
