Description

As cities change, traditional building types are facing a period of decline. Rethinking Obsolete Typologies: Transformation Potentials and Scenarios examines how shifts in mobility, work, trade, and faith impact urban environments. This book explores why structures like petrol stations, offices, shopping centers, cinemas, and churches are seeing less use and how this contributes to urban obsolescence. Readers will learn about essential strategies for the efficient transformation of these spaces. The text focuses on converting existing architecture to preserve gray energy, maximizing land use, and strengthening urban fabric. It is a necessary resource for anyone studying how to adapt existing structures to meet the needs of a changing society while maintaining the sustainability of our cities.
