Adaptive Reuse

Adaptive Reuse is conventionally defined as the process of adapting old structures for
new purposes. Old buildings give neighbourhoods their distinct character and at the
same time provide a tangible connection to the past. And sometimes buildings often
outlive their original purposes. This results in the process of adaptive reuse of such
buildings in order to make the existing structure and surroundings active once again.
Justification
An imperative aspect of adaptive reuse projects is that the land or building which is
being considered for had a previous use that is no longer suitable or the use remains
unused in that type of building location, and therefore the potential value of the
property will be maximized by adapting the space.
When the original use of a structure changes or is no longer required architects have the
opportunity to change the primary function of the structure while retaining some of the
existing architectural details that make the building unique.
The social benefits of reuse projects include rejuvenating the historical and cultural
values of a building. Older buildings have the ability to provide character to an area and
create a sense of place.
