This monograph discusses the role that ruins play in urban centers in terms of their meaning, testimony, and value, and the opportunities they provide. After an outline of historical and contemporary of approaches, with a special analysis of British and Italian approaches, Elisa Pilia puts forward a methodology for the inves­tigation of the strategic values of such ar­tifacts, and ideas for their potential con­tribution to a sustainable requalification of historic urban cores. The protocol is tested on the historical center of Cagliari, a mid­sized port city on the south­ern coast of the island of Sardinia, Italy, where the remains left by aerial bombardment during the Second World War are still a dramatic part of the controversial European debate on how to reuse ruins.

This book examines the application of the principle of layering in architecture, its mechanics, possible application and meaning. Layering is widely used in the discussions of the 20th and 21st centuries architecture but rarely defined or examined. Layering bridges the tectonics of structure and skin, offers a system for the creation of different architectural spaces over time and functions as a design principle without hierarchy. Three types of layering are identified: a chronological sedimentation of planes materializing changes over time (temporal layering), the additive sequence of spaces (spatial layering), and the stratification of individual planes (material layering). Like a palimpsest, historic cities frequently reveal temporal layering and aspects of change over time, a condition familiar to archaeologists who study layer upon layer of remnants of civilisation, including architectural remains and urban organization. In historic cities, one can read at least the most recent layers to determine a physical chronology of the city's history; contemporary architects add strata of the 21st century. Cities are composed of several layers, offering a complex understanding of time in which a view of the present includes also the perception of the past. At a building scale, layers can be part of the spatial composition, multiple elements of walls, the skin, the structure or decorative and narrative elements. Just as the position and order of geological strata contain information related to their age, formation, and origin, the position and form of architectural layers come with information about their function, intellectual scope, and provenance. The possible elements of such an architectural strategy include materials, light, water, and color as well as associations, memories, and analogies embedded in the layers or in the voids between them. Material layering is based on a perceived separation of spatial enclosures into floor, wall, and ceiling or roof elements and combinations thereof. Individual elements may consist of multiple planes fulfilling a series of specific functions. The architectural enclosure can represent the physical wrapper of a building and might transport the structures narrative, tectonic information, cultural expression, the architects design intent, and other topics that might be embedded.

Depuis des siècles, les extensions de petites dimensions représentent une source indispensable d’activité pour les architectes, mais elles sont rarement reconnues à leur juste valeur et le plus souvent négligées par les revues d’architecture ou de décoration. Aujourd’hui les choses ont changé. Sous l’effet de plusieurs facteurs, à commencer par la flambée des prix de l’immobilier et la flexibilité des styles de vie, les ajouts ou modifications de l’espace d’habitation sont devenus l’un des domaines les plus féconds de l’innovation en architecture. Ce livre présente une quarantaine d'extensions conçues par des architectes dans onze pays. Chaque exemple détaille les besoins du client et la solution de l’architecte, ainsi que les principaux obstacles et problèmes rencontrés au cours de la conception et de la réalisation. Les résultats se distinguent par leur diversité et leur ingéniosité, mais tous ont donné une nouvelle vitalité et une valeur ajoutée au bâtiment d’origine. Les études de cas se répartissent en chapitres consacrés à divers types d’extensions suivant leur position : en surélévation, en sous-sol, latéralement ou à l’arrière. L’ouvrage inclut aussi des conseils pratiques pour aider les détenteurs d’une habitation à établir la définition de l’ouvrage, trouver un architecte et réduire les coûts du chantier.
