This provocative examination of buildings that have adapted well, and some that haven't, calls for a dramatic rethinking in the way new buildings are designed, one that allows structures to grow and change easily with the environment.

This book stands the test of time - as more of our heritage buildings fall to the bulldozer, this book reminds us how repurposing and 'recycling' old buildings is both culturally and environmentally sound.

How Buildings Learn
I saw one in a library and had to have a copy of this unusual 1995 book. Not only was it a perfect new copy, it smelled new, not like a musty closet. It is a must-have for persons interested in architectural reuse.

buildings change
This is a fun to read book showing how buildings change over time; what features allow a building to chance in a useful manner and what designs thwart development. Lot of photos to illustrate the point.
