内容简介
Sustainable Preservation takes a nuanced look at the hundreds
of choices that adaptive reuse requires architects to make-from
ingenious ways to redeploy existing structural elements to
time-honored techniques for natural ventilation to creation of
wetlands that restore a site's natural biological functions. In
addition, Sustainable Preservation presents 50 case studies of
projects-schools, houses, offices, stores, museums, and government
buildings-that set new standards for holistic approaches to
adaptive reuse and sustainability. The author covers design issues,
from building location to lighting systems, renewable power
options, stormwater handling, and building envelope protection and
integrity. The book also reviews operational issues, including
materials choices for low lifetime maintenance, green housekeeping,
and indoor air quality.
