YELLOWRED: On Reused Architecture
Curators: Martin Boesch, Laura Lupini, João F. Machado, Federico Pompignoli
Mendrisio Academy Press / Silvana Editoriale 2017
The main core of the publication – Selected Projects – will illustrate a number of projects worldwide, by different architects with different contents, sizes, and strategies. In some issues, the only connection between the selected projects will be the similar condition they all share of making architecture by re-using pre-existing architecture; in other issues, a specific topic or common theme will link the chosen projects
Although dealing with existing buildings has become more and more frequent for architects it is certainly not only a contemporary issue; for this reason, Yellowred will dedicate the section Notable Archives to analyzing, reading, and interpreting examples from the past
A third section entitled Wunderkammer will talk about a number of surprising examples of re-use, but not necessary ones regarding architecture
