MATERIA 49:REUSE IN ARCHITECTURE

The architecture magazine Materia 49 is on sale at top Italian and European newsstands and bookstores. The January/April 2006 issue discusses the technique of reuse in architecture, presented through several major architectural projects:

Paolo Portoghesi: San Giovanni Hospital in Rome
Robinson & McIlwaine + K.A. Dean & Associates: Comber Mill Village
Rafael Moneo: Royal and General Archives of Navarra
Archea Associati: Caffè San Colombano
Giuseppe Rebecchini: Chemical and Biological Library in Santa Maria delle Grazie
Aparicio + Fernández-Elorza: Documentation Centre and Halls in Nuevos Ministerios Station
