Review: A necessary addition to architectural discourse - As a fellow professor of architecture, I found Kathryn Rogers Merlino’s Building Reuse: Sustainability, Preservation, and the Value of Design to be an incredibly insightful and refreshing read. Merlino, who is also a professor, challenges the conventional approach of favoring new construction by highlighting the immense value in reusing existing buildings. She combines rigorous research with compelling case studies to show how this approach not only benefits the environment but also preserves our cultural history. Her book offers a persuasive and practical perspective on sustainable design that resonates with the challenges we face in architecture today. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to rethink how we build for the future.
