Proceedings of the International Conference on Adaptive Reuse. Volume 1

Edited by Andrea Crudeli, Francesca Molle, Emanuele Carrai

This volume gathers the proceedings of the first international scientific conference dedicated to adaptive reuse, marking a significant occasion for dialogue among scholars, architects, researchers, and practitioners engaged with one of the most pressing questions in contemporary architecture. Conceived as the beginning of a long-term and patient research trajectory, the conference sets out to investigate adaptive reuse in its full complexity: by tracing its historical roots, examining the cultural and architectural debates that have shaped it over time, and reflecting on the ways in which contemporary design is responding to the growing need to work with existing buildings, ruins, and inherited spaces. It also looks ahead, asking what kinds of theoretical, technical, and civic challenges adaptive reuse will need to confront in the future.
