Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Adaptation Strategies for Interior Architecture and Design
A striking new investigation of design strategies, ideas and critical thinking in interior architecture. Using 40 international case studies, Adaptation Strategies for Interior Architecture and Design starts with the existing building and shows how designers and architects can bring together responses, ideas and resources in order to form new, clear and meaningful spatial designs. With 20 years’ experience in the field, Brooker introduces readers to the importance of context in both its site-specific and cultural meaning – from a disused aircraft hangar, to an old water defense. He examines eight different approaches to show how the adaptation of existing and, in particular, old buildings, can provide unique and unusual transformative solutions for the historic and contemporary built environment.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design
The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design offers a compelling collection of original essays that seek to examine the shifting role of interior architecture and interior design, and their importance and meaning within the contemporary world. Interior architecture and interior design are disciplines that span a complexity of ideas, ranging from human behaviour and anthropology to history and the technology of the future. Approaches to designing the interior are in a constant state of flux, reflecting and adapting to the changing systems of history, culture and politics. It is this process that allows interior design to be used as evidence for identifying patterns of consumption, gender, identity and social issues. The Handbook of Interior Architecture and Design provides a pioneering overview of the ideas and arrangements within the two disciplines that make them such important platforms from which to study the way humans interact with the space around them. Covering a wide range of thought and research, the book enables the reader to investigate fully the changing face of interior architecture and interior design, while offering questions about their future trajectory.

RIBA Publishing Rereadings 2: Interior Architecture and the Design Principles of Remodelling Existing Buildings
Rereadings 2 is a companion book to Rereadings, originally published in 2004. This second volume is testament to the growing interest and demand for clarification of the re-modelling, adaptation and transformation processes within the existing built environment. With increased interest in the sustainability and heritage agenda and emerging interest from non European-centric areas of the world in this type of work, this book explores how the re-modelling of existing buildings is a sustainable and viable alternative to the construction of new buildings. Throughout this highly-illustrated book, drawings and photos of various projects from around the world highlight how the new fits into the existing. Case studies are analysed holistically, and include information on the practical issues and challenges of individual projects.
