This book delves into the practice of Office Winhov, the acclaimed Amsterdam-based architecture firm, whose buildings elegantly blend the past with the present. Architecture Repurposed showcases Office Winhov’s adaptive reuse approach, combining contemporary transformations with respect for architectural heritage.
At a time when sustainability is paramount and our cities yearn for historical and cultural nuance, it is essential that existing buildings are transformed with care. Office Winhov’s design philosophy activates our urban past while simultaneously shaping the foundations of tomorrow.
Architecture Repurposed is a richly illustrated publication that documents seven of Office Winhov’s most outstanding projects, unveiling the innovative methods, strategies, design choices and critical reflections behind them. It also presents the transformative power of preserving the past for a sustainable and vibrant future, providing architects, cultural historians and students with a treasure trove of inspiration and insight.
