umdasch The Store Makers: Second Life of a Building: Why Successful Repurposing Starts with the Right Questions

Entitled ‘Second Life of a Building’, the 15th edition of inSites is dedicated to one of the major challenges of our time: repurposing vacant buildings. This is because vacancy is rarely the actual problem. More often than not, it is the building’s current use that has become obsolete.

The trend paper therefore addresses questions such as:
• Why do buildings actually become vacant?
• What questions should be asked before any repurposing?
• What role do temporary uses play in testing new concepts?
• And how can properties be transformed into vibrant places with long-term relevance?

The latest issue of inSites from umdasch The Store Makers tells the story of buildings that transcend their original function. Discover it now!
