reusearchitecture is a container of ideas related to built realities and their future.
Each project represents a different approach to the existing: a restoration technique, a new contemporary expansion or a particular tradition of conservation tells a different story.
The difficult topic is analysed, creating an eclectic archive of precedents and inspirational ideas rich in the design solutions and contemporary layouts.
The hashtag #reusearchitecture aims to include in the archive all the projects that contribute to the idea to stop this frenetic construction activity and start thinking to a more mindful way to “build” and use spaces we already have.
Today the topics of sustainability and circular economy are very popular, and the built environment is certainly one of the most affected by this problem.
Using a reuse model can prolong a building’s life, by retaining all or most of the building system, including the structure, the shell and even the interior materials.
Architects, developers, builders and entrepreneurs who wish to become involved in rejuvenating and reconstructing a building must first make sure that the finished product will serve the need of the market, that it will be completely useful for its new purpose, and that it will be competitively priced.
