Once a building falls into disrepair, or simply becomes less desirable than when it was first built, it is typically destroyed and replaced by something new, or \u201cupgraded\u201d through expensive remodels and gentrification. Alternatively, if there is a lack of interest on the part of investors and developers, a building can be gutted and abandoned, a ghost of its former self. This information is not surprising or revealing, because it is common practice. Yet every step of this process \u2014 from construction to destruction \u2014 is wasteful, sapping resources and harming both community and environment.<\/p>\n<p>Yet there are alternative practices that address these concerns without limiting the vision and aspirations of architects. They do not require drastic change in the design of forms, but they do require new designs for how those forms are made. The projects in this collection represent these designs in action, envisioning a world in which architecture need not be destroyed, but is continually remade and revised. This is a world where demolition sites are repositories for new materials and natural habitats are extensions of our own communities \u2014 not simply a source of raw materials.<\/p>\n<p>The architects who designed these projects were motivated by a variety of reasons, including sustainability, cost-efficiency and practicality. Each structure embodies a fusion of art and industry, being a collage of commercial materials. This fusion aligns the projects with a variety of conceptual forebears: from Dadaism, as a political and artistic reaction to excess and industry; to informal architecture, as a utilitarian response to economic and social marginalization; to Pop art, through the absurd repetition of banal forms and a tacit rejection of originality. Ultimately, these works are as revolutionary and influential as what came before.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952082494_R01.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952082494_R01.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952082494_R01.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952082494_R01.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952082494_R01.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952082494_R01.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Quentin Olbrechts\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Quentin Olbrechts<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\n\t<img class=\"lazy\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/themes\/architizer\/assets\/images\/blank.png\"\n\t\tdata-src=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952134494_R03.jpg?fit=max&#038;w=1680&#038;q=60&#038;auto=format&#038;auto=compress&#038;cs=strip\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-srcset=\"https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952134494_R03.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1680&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1680w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952134494_R03.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=1080&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 1080w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952134494_R03.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=760&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 760w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952134494_R03.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=625&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 625w,https:\/\/architizer-prod.imgix.net\/media\/1453471952134494_R03.jpg?fit=max&amp;w=368&amp;q=60&amp;auto=format&amp;auto=compress&amp;cs=strip 368w\"\n\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1680px) 1680px,(min-width: 1080px) 1080px,(min-width: 760px) 760px,(min-width: 625px) 625px,368px\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"\u00a9 Quentin Olbrechts\"\n\t\titemprop=\"contentUrl\"\n\t>\n\t<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Quentin Olbrechts<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/01-494-seat-of-the-european-council-and-the-eu-council\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>01-494 SEAT of the EUROPEAN COUNCIL and the EU COUNCIL<\/b><\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/philippe-samyn-and-partners-architects-engineers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philippe SAMYN and PARTNERS, architects &amp; engineers<\/a>, Rue de la Loi, Bruxelles, Belgium<\/p>\n<p>The new headquarters for the EU Council is located on the site of a historic structure in Brussels, Belgium, but is dominated by contemporary additions and a new fa\u00e7ade.

India<\/p>\n<p>Drawing connections between the informal architecture of Mumbai\u2019s marginalized communities, and the growing ambition for sustainability in all architecture, S+PS Architects designed Collage House to emulate approaches towards recycling found in informal structures. The project not only features a variety of salvaged windows on its fa\u00e7ade, but also uses recycled materials for interior forms and structural elements, compiling metal pipes to create partitions and repurposing columns from an abandoned home.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Architects: Showcase your next project through <\/span><\/i><a
