How should we deal with post-war office towers? How can their cultural value be preserved for today's uses? This book presents successful strategies and concepts for revitalizing office towers from the 1950s and 60s. The authors address both urban planning and historic preservation aspects. Five high-rise buildings in Nuremberg, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, and Berlin are documented, with comprehensive descriptions of their renovation—from structural to building physics and building technology solutions.
