Reviews

Probably the most comprehensive book in the field today, Stone's narrative allows the reader to go inside a building's life, connecting architectural theory with contemporary art, and environmental science to interrogate its layers of history, and changes over time. Markus Berger, Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director, Department of Interior Architecture, Rhode Island School of Design An invaluable reference book, `Undoing Buildings' illuminates the myriad attitudes and strategies brought to existing buildings and their accumulated meanings in the manner of preparatory literature for a studio or workshop, in which precedents and their attendant histories and thought are exposed to both enlighten and empower the participant. Mark Pimlott, TU Delft, Netherlands Author of Without and within, and The Public Interior as Idea and Project The 21st century is the era of the circular economy. This book is an authoritative and compelling guide to understanding the ideas and values of these approaches to the built environment. It is an essential read for those who want a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental thinking behind building re-use and the formation of the architectured and designed interior Professor Graeme Brooker: Chair of Interior Design, Royal College of Art, London Sally Stone's book is an important contribution to the emerging discipline of adaptive reuse and its growing theoretical framework. Her attractive discourse considers the built environment as a palimpsest not frozen in the past, but as a possibilty for future programs. Prof. Koenraad Van Cleempoel, Faculty of Architecture & Arts, Hasselt University This book provides, aside from an intelligent and inspirational state of the art of an interiorist's approach towards existing buildings, a provocative expansion of the existing body of theory on adaptive reuse. Stone's coherent and captious picture will greatly help students and academics interested in the past and future of our built environment. Inge Somers, University of Antwerp - Faculty of Design Sciences - Interior architecture program
