Further. This article by Paul Hinkin is interesting:

He is clearly very wedded to the idea of buildings that are highly tailored to their use. In this way sustainability can be process driven for the needs of the occupiers.

However, what happens when the occupiers move out, or internal processes change? Rather than demolition and rebuilding, I'd suggest that adaptation is among the most interesting areas of architectural practice at the moment - but when we do tackle a new building, it has to have a fighting chance for a new life as something else in the future.
