How Buildings Learn by Stewart Brand
What Happens After They're Built
"How Buildings Learn" is a thought-provoking exploration of architecture and the adaptability of buildings over time. The book argues that buildings are constantly evolving entities that adapt to the needs of their occupants and the surrounding environment. It critiques the static nature of conventional architectural practices and promotes a more flexible approach that considers how buildings can be designed to accommodate change. Through a series of case studies and photographs, the book illustrates how buildings can learn and adapt, and it encourages architects, builders, and occupants to think about buildings as dynamic structures that should be designed for continuous adaptation and change.
