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.

Binding is solid and square, covers have sharp corners, exterior shows no blemishes, text/interior is clean and free of marking of any kind. 243 pages, very clean, loaded with b&w photos.
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.
