Transform - Promising Places, Second Chances, and the Architecture of Transformational Change

Adaptive Reuse is how architecture helps us grow into a changing world. It combines the best of old and new―through renovation, restoration, regeneration, reimagination, and repair. A practice of sensitive stewardship and creative conservation, it is what turns the obsolete into the germane. With TenBerke’s most recent publication with Monacelli, Transform: Promising Places, Second Chances, and the Architecture of Transformational Change, the studio shows that creatively and visibly repurposed places are also where people feel especially empowered to make new beginnings in their own lives.
