This dataset contains a list of 348 references relating to reuse in architecture. It covers historical and contemporary reuse projects and examples in architecture, recent research projects using digital technologies for reuse or developing new building systems, art and design projects, as well as context and statisitcs related websites and a few companies. The dataset includes links to sources and catagorizes the references into three fields; focus (architecture, art & design, research, statistics, granular), area (historical, contemporary, conceptual, statistical, contextual, building technology), and material (wood, concrete, rubble, metal, clay, earth, mixed, bricks, stone, spolia).

We would like to thank Matthijs Sioen and Martin Reichert from David Chipperfield Architects for their input and support in organizing the references.

The research project is funded by the Federal Institute for Research on Building, Urban Affairs and Spatial Development (BBSR) on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB) with funds from the Zukunft Bau research grant.

Parts of the research were also ​supported by the German Research Foundation DFG under Germany’s Excellence Strategy - EXC 2120/1 - 390831618.
