Our housing crisis means that we need usable buildings now more than ever, but architect and critic Aaron Betsky shows that new construction--often seeking to maximize profits rather than resources, often soulless in its feel--is not the answer. Whenever possible, it is better to repair, recycle, renovate, and reuse--not only from an environmental perspective, but culturally and artistically as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArchitectural reuse is as old as civilization itself. In the streets of Europe, you can find fragments from the Roman Empire. More recently, marginalized communities from New York to Detroit--queer people looking for places to gather or cruise, punks looking to make loud music, artists and displaced people looking for space to work and live--have taken over industrial spaces created then abandoned by capitalism, forging a unique style in the process. Their methods--from urban mining to dumpster diving--now inform architects transforming old structures today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBetsky shows us contemporary imaginative reuse throughout the world: the Mexican housing authority transforming concrete slums into well-serviced apartments; the MassMOCA museum, built out of old textile mills; the squatted city of Christiana in Copenhagen, fashioned from an old army base; Project Heidelberg in Detroit. All point towards a new circular economy of reuse, built from the ashes of the capitalist economy of consumption.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aaron Betsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807014868\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAaron Betsky\u003c\/b\u003e is a critic of art, architecture, and design and the author of over twenty books on those subjects.
