Dezeen's top 10 reuse architecture projects of 2022
To kick off Dezeen's review of 2022, we round up 10 of the most eye-catching architectural reuse projects of the year, from an art museum in Tehran to a Marcel Breuer-designed hotel.
Architecture has historically tended to celebrate the new, but concerns about the climate impact of construction are driving an increasing interest in projects that seek to work with existing structures.
Including ambitious conversions, careful renovations and delicate restorations, here are 10 that stood out in 2022:

Argo Factory, Iran, by Ahmadreza Schricker Architecture North
First opened as a brewery in the 1920s, the Argo Factory in central Tehran became the first new private art museum in Iran's capital since 1979 following an overhaul by US studio Ahmadreza Schricker Architecture North. The project, which saw the former factory topped with a series of distinctive concrete roofs, was named architecture project of the year 2022 at the Dezeen Awards.

Hotel Marcel, USA, by Becker + Becker
This 1970s brutalist building in New Haven, designed by Marcel Breuer, was converted into a hotel by Becker + Becker after sitting unused for more than 20 years.
The interiors were updated while the facade was retained and repaired, meaning the building now achieves Passivhaus standards despite keeping the distinctive external appearance of Breuer's original design.
