Synopsis

Extensions design, constructions faites avec des matériaux récupérés ou réhabilitations de lieux, Upgrade propose un panorama des plus belles architectures de réemploi. On y reconnaît notamment l'impressionnante maison de Ricardo Bofill installée en 73 dans une ancienne usine de ciment en Espagne, des églises et chapelles déconsacrées, un dôme de verre ancien utilisé comme serre de jardin et de nombreuses extensions de brique, pierres anciennes, bois ou même cuivre, pensées par des agences du monde entier.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Home Extensions, Alterations and Refurbishments - Adding. Extending. Transforming. Upgrade breathes new life in forgotten architecture.

Upgrade explores architectural and design concepts that seek to enhance and repurpose our surroundings. From slight changes to complete renovations, the spectrum of possibilities is vast. Extensions upon a rooftop. Factories turned into relaxing retreats. Wood additions contrast with antique brick exteriors. Through engaging anecdotes and inspiriting images, Upgrade provides vibrant exemplars and enthusiasm for revamping existing spaces.
Repurposing the unused; a dilapidated barn, a raddled townhome, a historical and fading building façade - these can all be starting points for stunning and inspiring homes. Upgrade displays transformations: be it sheds into playrooms, a garage to a guesthouse, or an alpine hut into a holiday getaway. Hidden in the walls of old structures are possibilities and inspirations that can be realized with any budget; charm and character become the criteria for titivating a residence.
Upgrade offers projects that succeed in finding the balance between the traditional and the modern. Architects share their experiences, motivations, and approaches. Before-and-after photos illustrate the metamorphoses.
