Résumé:

"Adaptability over time is increasingly a major concern in the life of a building. In the short term the issue may be how the user can interact with the building. Longer-term issues include how the building can be adapted to respond to changes in conditions (e.g. working patterns, climate change, etc.). This calls for buildings that have a level of 'indeterminacy' in their design, without being excessively changeable - environmentally adaptable but not neutral." "This book brings together architectural research work that clearly identifies why environmental variety is of significance and how it relates to design."--Jacket.
