Description
Suitable modernisation of historic buildings can generate extremely diverse opinions and proposes a large task for developed European towns and cities. This title, third in a series of architectural pocket guides to Hamburg, tackles the issues and presents projects actually implemented in recent years as well as plans inprogress. The volume takes a look at changes that affect buildings of very different ages in fast succession: including improvements in energy use, extensions, conversions, added floors and incorporation into new social/urban-development contexts. It also takes account of existing listed structures and decisions for and against demolition and intelligent re-use.
