"This book is designed for architects and engineers who need to evaluate existing buildings for a new use or for continuing a current use. It details each step of the evaluation process using an easy-to-follow and easy-to-implement approach that greatly reduces the possibility of unexpected costs and setbacks. Moreover, the book covers every part of the building itself, from interior and exterior structures to systems and materials." "Illustrations throughout the book will help you visualize and perform key procedures. In addition, the authors examine building evaluation issues for structures of different scales, such as medium and small commercial structures and residential buildings." "Most important, the authors help you assess the financial viability of a proposed adaptive reuse or preservation project, helping you and potential investors decide whether the proposed project offers a desired return on investment."--Jacket.

Building in existing fabric requires more than practical solutions and stylistic skills. The adaptive reuse of buildings, where changes in the structure go along with new programs and functions, poses the fundamental question of how the past should be included in the design for the future. On the background of long years of teaching and publishing, and using vivid imagery from Frankenstein to Rem Koolhaas and beyond, the author provides a comprehensive introduction to architectural design for adaptive reuse projects. History and theory, building typology, questions of materials and construction, aspects of preservation, urban as well as interior design are dealt with in ways that allow to approach adaptive reuse as a design practice field of its own right.

The rehabilitation of adaptive reuse of historic buildings can be a challenge. This manual provides a step by step process that takes the seemingly incomprehensible to the practical and implementable. The manual, formerly published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, has been used by real estate practitioners, community development corporations, local preservation organizations, and as an applied text book at both the graduate and undergraduate level. The series of forms, checklists, analytical matrices and source references lead the user to make sound and rational decisions throughout the historic rehabilitation process.

Mit Hilfe der Statikanalyse wird der Zustand der Bausubstanz und Konstruktionssysteme eines Bauwerkes untersucht. Wenn Probleme am Bauwerk entstehen, führen Statiker eine solche Analyse durch, um die am besten geeigneten Korrekturmöglichkeiten zu bestimmen. Auch Architekten müssen über Grundkenntnisse in der Baustatik verfügen, um Gebäude entwerfen zu können, die ihre Funktion optimal erfüllen und um mit anderen Kollegen des Bauteams effektiv zusammenzuarbeiten. Außerdem müssen Architekten in der Lage sein, selbst eine Statikanalyse durchzuführen, wenn sie ein vorhandenes Gebäude umbauen wollen. Dieses Buch ist ein wichtiges Nachschlagewerk für jeden, der historische Bauten umbauen und verändern will. Es ist darüber hinaus ein nützlicher Leitfaden zu technischen Daten und Berechnungsmethoden, die den Architekten und Statikern damals zur Verfügung standen, als das Baumaterial oder Konstruktionssystem eingesetzt wurde. Mit einer Fülle praktischer Informationen bietet es die Grundlage für moderne Zertifizierung durch den Experten.

The 9th European Conference on Information Management and Evaluation (ECIME) is being hosted this year by the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK on the 21-22 September 2015. The Conference Chair is Dr Elias Pimenidis, and the Programme Chair is Dr Mohammed Odeh both from the host University. ECIME provides an opportunity for individuals researching and working in the broad field of information systems management, including IT evaluation to come together to exchange ideas and discuss current research in the field. This has developed into a particularly important forum for the present era, where the modern challenges of managing information and evaluating the effectiveness of related technologies are constantly evolving in the world of Big Data and Cloud Computing. We hope that this year’s conference will provide you with plenty of opportunities to share your expertise with colleagues from around the world. The keynote speakers for the Conference are Professor Haris Mouratidis, from the School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics, University of Brighton, UK who will address the topic “Rethinking Information Systems Security”, Dr Mohammed Odeh, from the University of the West of England, Bristol, UK and Dr. Mario Kossmann from Airbus, UK who will talk about “The Significance of Information Systems Management and Evaluation in the Aerospace Industry’ ECIME 2015 received an initial submission of 55 abstracts. After the double-blind peer review process 28 academic Research papers, 5 PhD Research papers, 1 Masters Research paper and 3 Work in Progress papers have been accepted for these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent research from around the world, including Austria, Botswana, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Ireland, Japan, Kuwait, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, The Netherlands, UK and the USA.

Sustainable Preservation takes a nuanced look at the hundreds of choices that adaptive reuse requires architects to make—from ingenious ways to redeploy existing structural elements to time-honored techniques for natural ventilation to creation of wetlands that restore a site's natural biological functions. In addition, Sustainable Preservation presents 50 case studies of projects—schools, houses, offices, stores, museums, and government buildings—that set new standards for holistic approaches to adaptive reuse and sustainability. The author covers design issues, from building location to lighting systems, renewable power options, stormwater handling, and building envelope protection and integrity. The book also reviews operational issues, including materials choices for low lifetime maintenance, green housekeeping, and indoor air quality.

This paper identifies the parameters for a performance-based framework to prioritise underutilised historical buildings for adaptive reuse interventions, while discussing its effectiveness towards promoting sustainable and resilient urban areas in New Zealand.A narrative review of extant literature is done to justify the need for the performance-based framework and build a list of relevant parameters that elucidates all or part of a typical decision-making process regarding the selection of historical buildings for adaptive reuse in New Zealand.Five main priority aspects with significant evaluation criteria that have been identified from this study are economic sustainability, built-heritage preservation, socio-cultural aspects, building usability, and regulatory aspects. This paper's originality pertains to the development of parameters for a performance-based framework that offers a basis for relevant adaptive reuse stakeholders to prioritise underutilised historical buildings while balancing their diverse objectives. Accordingly, the performance-based framework has been validated to justify the relevance of its applicability to the different outlined parameters, towards prioritising underutilised historical buildings for adaptive reuse in New Zealand.
