Sociologist Lucius Burckhardt and architect Walter Maria F�rderer may seem an unlikely pair, yet their 1968 book Building A Process reveals a shared vision: architecture as an ongoing, political, and cultural negotiation. By shifting attention to the phases before construction and after completion, they challenge the idea of new buildings as “clean solutions” and highlight flexibility, conflict, and user agency. In ten concise chapters, they question preservation dogmas and argue for hybrid, adaptable architectures. This renewed edition underscores their lasting insight: the future of sustainability lies in cultivating a culture of transformation. For the first time, the book is now available in English.

A plea for the long-term use of buildings
Strategies for utilization that begin at the planning stage
Pathways to sustainably leverage existing potential
