REHABILITATION AND ECOLOGY ARCHITECTURE

Today, the majority of architects are fully prepared in the recovery of the historical buildings in their cities. Thus, the rehabilitation of heritage opened the way towards the rehabilitation of buildings without apparent architectural value. Those buildings are rehabilitated just for cost-effective, passionate, personal, economics or even experimental issues. Being aware the architect of the factor of recovery and the executions carried out in the building, the sustainability and ecology factors are incorporated into the project decisively. This book presents a wide variety of project types and architectural styles, all markedly contemporary yet irremediably influenced by the pre-existing works around which they must mould themselves, in one way or another.
