Reinventing Heritage. A Design Compass on Adaptive Reuse

In Reinventing Heritage, Park—a Milan-based interdisciplinary collective of architects, designers, and researchers—explores the transformative potential of adaptive reuse in architecture as a key strategy to address environmental, social, and economic challenges. Rather than demolishing and rebuilding, adaptive reuse champions the repurposing of existing structures to extend their life cycle, reduce waste, and foster sustainable urban regeneration. This book appeals to anyone passionate about sustainable living, urban innovation, and the stories buildings can tell when they are given a second life.

Trees, Time, Architecture! Design in Constant Transformation

Trees, Time, Architecture! marks an evolutionary step from shaping objects towards designing processes. The volume brings together a variety of views on the relationship between trees and architecture, urban spaces, modernism, politics, feminism, and cultural values. This collage of historical, research-based and discourse-related perspectives looks at how trees can be preserved, used, and appreciated in the Anthropocene. It highlights historic examples of growing architecture, such as the living root bridges of the Khasi people in India, the accommodation of trees in urban housing and public spaces, novel approaches to design and construction with living trees, as well as trees as resource for building material.

Exhibition runs until September 14 - 🔗 in Bio!

Architecture as Built Criticism is now available worldwide!

Can buildings themselves express criticism? Wasn’t modernist housing a collective criticism of unsustainable living conditions? Can a state’s embassy convey differentiated, critical messages to the home and host country? Can architects express explicit criticism with their buildings? And if so, how can they do so? The essays collected in this volume present a wide range of effective built criticisms. Their authors’ concise analyses broaden our view of an insufficiently explored field of knowledge.

This book is published following the International Conference on Architecture as Built Criticism held on October 12, 15, 21, and 22, 2023 at Tongji University, CAUP, Shanghai.

The Beauty of Impermanence is now available worldwide!

The Beauty of Impermanence is a scholarly documentation of the 2023 Sharjah Architecture Triennial. It explores architectural responses to sustainability, resource scarcity, and adaptability, highlighting the contrasting resource management strategies of the global North and South over the last four hundred years. The North exploited resources through a belief in endless abundance and technological advances, underpinned by religious and mythological justifications for colonialism and slavery. The South, characterized by resource scarcity, has innovated within these constraints, developing adaptable, sustainable solutions that may offer a blueprint for future global resource management.

The book advocates for a shift away from a consumption-driven approach to one that is ecologically and ethically responsible, urging a collective resolve to create systemic change for a sustainable future. It is structured around the thematic strands of “Renewed Contextual,” “Extraction Politics,” and “Intangible Bodies” and features essays by noted scholars and practitioners.

Back in Stock – Esch Sintzel Architekten. Bauten und Projekte ist zurück!

«Dieses Buch ist keine Lobeshymne, sondern eine fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit der Frage, wie Architektur sich im Spannungsfeld von Bestand, Gesellschaft und Umwelt behaupten kann. Ein Beitrag für alle, die über das Bauen hinausdenken.» Swiss Arc Mag

«In diesem Sinne erteilt das Werk von Esch Sintzel – und mit ihm dieses Buch – eine Lektion in Sachen Detaillierung und Diskretion. Es erinnert daran, dass qualitätsvolle Architektur kreative Denkarbeit und Handwerk jenseits des Scheinwerferlichts ist.» swiss-architects

«Ein Büro mit prägender Rolle im Schweizer Diskurs.» Hochparterre
