By laying bare the bones of the building and incorporating the crumbing plaster surfaces into the aesthetic, this experimental art space and community center preserves the functional and structural essence of the original library, making a case for its continued importance in the heart of the community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item aligncenter wp-image-67615 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1707%2C2560&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"adaptive reuse PARISI Court Reconstruction by Archikon, Budpest, Hungary \" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-2-scaled.jpg?w=1707&amp;ssl=1 1707w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-2-scaled.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-2-scaled.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-2-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-2-scaled.jpg?resize=1366%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1366w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item aligncenter wp-image-67612 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1707&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"adaptive reuse PARISI Court Reconstruction by Archikon, Budpest, Hungary \" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-1-scaled.jpg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-1-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-1-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-1-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C1366&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-1-scaled.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item aligncenter wp-image-67616 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/PARISI-Court-Reconstruction-by-Archikon-Budpest-Hungary-3-1-scaled.jpg?resize=2560%2C1707&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"PARISI Court Reconstruction by Archikon, Budpest, Hungary 2020 A+Awards Popular Winner, Concepts -

The boxy facade of new building is discrete, and the transition from old to new is softened by the diamond-like glass attrium that joins them, drawing light inside and projecting a memorable image onto the surrounding streetscape.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item aligncenter wp-image-67608 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-2.jpg?resize=2000%2C1333&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"adaptive reuse Memphis Teacher Residency by archimania, Memphis, Tennessee\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-2.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-2.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-2.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-2.jpg?resize=400%2C267&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item aligncenter wp-image-67607 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-1.jpg?resize=2000%2C1125&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Memphis Teacher Residency by archimania, Memphis, Tennessee\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-1.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-1.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Memphis-Teacher-Residency-archimania-Memphis-Tennessee-1.jpg?resize=400%2C225&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/memphis-teacher-residency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Memphis Teacher Residency<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/archimania\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">archimania<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Memphis, Tennessee<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2020 A+Awards Jury Winner in Commercial &#8211; Coworking Space<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Department stores were on the wane even before the pandemic took hold, but the social upheaval of the past year has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/04\/21\/business\/coronavirus-department-stores-neiman-marcus.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accelerated<\/a> this shift.

Abandoned for 17 years, the building now serves as a public face for the long overlooked graduate program, demonstrating that department store structures have a future beyond retail.<\/p>\n<p><img

school buildings. How can architects better accommodate the spatial needs of &#8220;active learning,&#8221; with its emphasis on experiential engagement and interactive collaboration? One successful response is illustrated by the adaptive reuse of a closed public secondary school in Japan, which uses wooden furniture to breath new life into the building as a private primary school.<\/p>\n<p>Tables and chairs are easily adjusted according to the content of the activity, while the choice of natural material is hardly accidental; the soft and easily damaged surface is a didactic tool that reminds children to respect and care for their environment, while serving as a harmonious but variable aesthetic throughout the building.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

Like many nineteenth century industrial towns, consisting of housing surrounding a central factory, the urban fabric lacks codified areas for social congregation and leisure.<\/p>\n<p>As a remedy, the city purchased the defunct machine tools factory and undertook an extensive and innovative public consultation process, where residents were invited to envision and engage in prototyping their future public space.
