Abstract

Hybrid buildings are urban artefacts which are often characterised by the mix of uses. They share a hazardous life, full of obstacles and setbacks. Those who manage to be built and endure are true survivors of a rare and vigorous category that grows in places of opportunity, making its way through the speculative weeds. in this catalogue on the Art of Mixing Uses, a+t research group rescues 50 Hybrid Buildings designed from the 19th century to the present. Each of them is drawn in section, with its function in sight, and tells us a stimulating story. 50 Hybrid buildings is a catalogue of types without typology, tough guys who insist on mixing uses and users, guys who like the complexity and indeterminacy and support neither purity nor segregation.

Abstract

Hybrid buildings are urban artefacts which are often characterised by their mixed-use role in the city. The ones that manage to get built and endure are true survivors of a rare and vigorous category that flourishes in locations of opportunity. This volume presents 50 of these hybrid buildings, designed from the 19th century to the present, as a catalogue of types without any specific typology. Each project is drawn in section, revealing both its functions and a fascinating narrative about how it came to be, as well as its place in the urban context. The publication demonstrates how buildings which insist on mixing uses and users can more naturally incorporate complexity and indeterminacy.
