Books n' music fan I am reviewing more what I think of the architecture contained here than the quality of the writing, which I have no opinion on.It really drove home the point that everything in these buildings that has been done to them in the name of renovation, has been ugly and at times, grotesque.

Bollack’s book opens readers to the ‘creative possibilities of preservation.’ It gives us a vivid reminder that we can embrace modernity while respecting the past.” —Architectural Record“Hidden behind the shiny sight of bold new buildings lies a rather quieter architectural story, that of renovation, restoration and re-use. From Alsop Architects’ Sharp Center for Design in Toronto, a pixilated metal box-like canopy dominating the entrance, to Ibos & Vitart Architects’ expansion of Le Museé des Beaux-Arts in Lille, each of the 29 projects displays modern interventions on historic buildings.
