Seller's Description:
New. America is becoming a container landscape of big boxes connected byhighways. When a big box store upsizes to an even bigger box 'supercenter'down the road, it leaves behind more than the vacant shell of a retail operation; itleaves behind a changed landscape that can't be changed back. Acres of land havebeen paved around it. Highway traffic comes to it; local roads end at it. Withthousands of empty big box stores spread across America, these vistas have become adominant feature of the American landscape. In Big Box Reuse, Julia Christensenshows us how ten communities have addressed this problem, turning vacated Wal-Martsand Kmarts into something else: a church, a library, a school, a medical center, acourthouse, a recreation center, a museum, or other more civic-minded structures. Ineach case, what was once a shopping destination becomes a center of community life. Christensen crisscrossed America identifying these projects, then photographed, videotaped, and interviewed the people involved. The first-person accounts and colorphotographs of Big Box Reuse reveal the hidden stories behind the transformation ofthese facades into gateways of community life. Whether a big box store becomes a'Senior Resource Center' or a museum devoted to Spam (the kind that comesin a can), each renovation displays a community's resourcefulness andcreativity--but also raises questions about how big box buildings affect the livesof communities. What does it mean for us and for the future of America if the spacesof commerce built by a few monolithic corporations become the sites where education, medicine, religion, and culture are dispensed wholesale to the populace? What happens to the landscape, to community, and to the population when vacated big box stores are turned into community centers, churches, schools, and libraries?
