Books
The books showcased below include our own works, collaborative pieces with students and peers, and recommendations for further reading. Each book contributes to the dialogue on reuse and circularity in architecture, engineering and construction.
GROWTH for GOOD
“To save the environment, will we have to shrink the economy? Might this even lead to a better society, especially in rich nations, helping us break free from a pointless obsession with material wealth that only benefits the few? Terzi takes these legitimate questions as a starting point for a riveting journey into the socioeconomic evolutionary and cultural origins of our need for growth.” - Harvard University Press
The Pedagogies of Re-Use
The International School of Re-Construction hosted a digital gathering of over 100 participants to address the climate crisis. This book documents eleven team projects, design proposals, and expert insights on deconstruction, reuse, and adaptation.

What if we build our new houses by reusing and upcycling materials from existing buildings bound for demolition? What if what we now call waste were treated as a valuable resource? And what if architects and designers prioritised making beautiful designs with materials and structures already in use?
