About the Book

Lost, forgotten, reimagined, and transformed: the compelling beauty of abandoned, reinvented, and rescued architecture This book captures the awe-inspiring drama of abandoned, forgotten, and ruined spaces, as well as the extraordinary designs that can bring them back to life – demonstrating that reimagined, repurposed, and abandoned architecture has the beauty and power to change lives, communities, and cities the world over. The scale and diversity of abandoned buildings is shown through examples from all around the world, demonstrating the extraordinary ingenuity of their transformation by some of the greatest architectural designers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

About the Author :
Dan Barasch is cofounder of The Lowline, a project to transform a subterranean New York City trolley terminal into the world's fi rst underground 'park'.

He lives in the East Village in New York City.

[and] reckons with this enduring obsession."—Co.Design "The book... comprises of dozens of architectural case studies... Examples include Tate Modern, Berlin's Templehof airport, Atlanta's Beltline and the Gemini Residence Copenhagen. The book also features an introductory essay by Barasch in which the fourth-generation New Yorker remembers being charmed by the old tenement buildings near his grandmothers's Lower East Side apartment."—The Observer "Abandoned and forgotten spaces are at the centre of Ruin and Redemption, a new publication by Phaidon."—Aesthetica Magazine "From ruin to redemption: incredible before-and-after images show how abandoned buildings have been given stunning new leases of life... Some of architecture's most stunning transformations."—The Daily Mail online "A flashy split-tone coffee-table book cover belies a slick collection of ruin-to-redemption case studies."—The Architect's Newspaper "[E]xamines structures and buildings at all stages of neglect, with ample case studies along the way."—Dwell Online "[F]ull of images of old structures that have been reimagined for new purposes... Striking."—The Wall Street Journal "A sprawling source of inspiration that doubles as documentation of our planet's ever-changing architectural landscape."—Cool Hunting "[W]ith its snazzy half-cover in reflective gold...

Photos of the spaces before and after their abandonment offer a deeply dramatic look into the process of decay that happens when we step away from the things we've made."—Modern in Denver "...This book is more than a documentation of a bygone era. It's a plea to realize the power and potential of architectural ruin in enriching the present-day and future process of place-making."—Metropolis Online "Barasch's Ruin and Redemption fills us with both hope and trepidation on the future of our evolving built environment, reminding us that the built environment is our collective responsibility."—ArtBlog "Ruin and Redemption captures the awe-inspiring drama of abandoned, forgotten, and ruined spaces, as well as the extraordinary designs that can bring them back to life."—Architectural West Magazine
