Summary:

"How can we build a sustainable future in a time of climate change and dwindling resources? 'Building for Change' collects the strategies of reuse together, demonstrating their power for change through groundbreaking projects from some of the world's leading architects. From waste repurposed as construction materials, to buildings reworked with canny spatial interventions, and modular structures designed to be dismantled, discover how the architecture of creative reuse is helping us build a better tomorrow."--Back cover.
