Description
New Design for Old Buildings explores how good new design can enhance and restore old buildings, rather than simply imitating them. This approach is rooted in the SPAB philosophy, which values architects who work to preserve historic environments.
The book delves into the technical considerations of creating sustainable retrofits, using materials and design techniques that minimize environmental impact. It showcases a range of imaginative designs for different types of buildings, from historic churches to domestic homes, and provides essential guidance on how to achieve these goals.
