Description for Adaptation Strategies for Interior Architecture and Design Paperback. .
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.

Reviews for Adaptation Strategies for Interior Architecture and Design
This book, with its emphasis on strategy, rather than purely case study, will be useful and relevant - especially to students for whom skills such as design process and critical attitude are so important.
David Littlefield, Programme leader: Interior Architecture, Department of Architecture and the Built Environment, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK The content looks to be very suitable, and, importantly very current. Introducing concepts such as 'Superuse', 'Reprogramming' and 'Artifice' pitches this book at the right level, i.e. that this is a serious publication ... As strategies towards the reuse of buildings and the creation of space evolve then it is important that we see publications such as this that reflect those developments.
Russell Gagg, Course Leader, Interior Architecture and Design, Arts University Bournemouth, UK The approach and rationale of the work is very relevant as there is limited research and publications available on this topic. The approach of looking into strategies on existing buildings with new designs and changes in functions is extremely necessary.
Markus Berger, Assistant Professor, Department of Interior Architecture, Rhode Island School of Design, US
