Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE: "Adaptive Reuse , the concept of reusing existing buildings, reworking their floorplans, changing their functionality and hence, their purpose in order to revive them, has become common practice for architects, interior architects and designers. While buildings have been reused in different ways throughout history, the conscious preservation of a building not only as a monument within itself, but as part of a cityscape and collective memory are more recent developments. These categorical considerations of Adaptive Reuse coincide with a heightened interest in living in authentic spaces that were not originally constructed to be lived in, and issues such as sustainability and lack of urban living space. […] The establishment of a set of suitable and common strategies for residential Adaptive Reuse projects can be identified as the main focus of this thesis. Further, drawing connections to existing Adaptive Reuse theory and providing a fresh perspective on a topic that has been of great interest in recent years is equally relevant. […] The methods employed in this Bachelor thesis serve to investigate the current strategies in theory and practice of Adaptive Reuse for residential purposes. Initially, a comprehensive and comparative analysis of a selection of leading literature on the topic of Adaptive Reuse will be conducted. Relevant reuse strategies and tactics will be extracted from said literature and their potential for informing a residential reuse project will be reviewed. The following chapter is dedicated to the thorough qualitative review of five case studies. Each of the Adaptive Reuse projects which serve as case studies, exemplify a different form of reprogrammed building and also form of living, with the goal of exploring the use of strategies in the widest array of possible scenarios. These case studies are examined carefully in terms of their heritage and original use, the new use, the building’s structure, the extent of transformation, their materiality and of course, the strategic approach undertaken by the architects. They do not, however, represent a specific aesthetic of Adaptive Reuse. For the analysis of these projects, a matrix is created which aims to establish an understanding of which Adaptive Reuse strategies were employed, how they affect the overall outcome of the design and how the correlations can be interpreted. The findings of this matrix will be presented after the introduction of the case studies. Overall, the research strives to underline the importance of the residential sector, not only for the practice, but also for a comprehensive theory of Adaptive Reuse."

Content: MACHINE-GENERATED SUMMARY NOTE : Berlin has a unique history of war and subsequent division into two political and ideological systems, made visible to this day in its extraordinary architecture. Over thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), the value of the architecture of the socialist regime remains a contentious topic. While some structures are celebrated and listed as historic monuments, others have become vacant and unwanted. The cityscape of Eastern Berlin is still shaped by these historic buildings, despite the extensive destruction of GDR era architecture in the years after the reunification. The remaining GDR buildings are often associated with multifaceted issues extending beyond concerns of usability, the building's quality and architectural value or problems of memory and heritage of a totalitarian system. However, despite the wide variety of buildings of different eras and styles, there appears to be a lack of diversity in dealing with Berlin's GDR architecture, highlighted by the absence of meaningful adaptive reuse projects within this architectural typology. The relevance of the practice of adaptive reuse, the alteration and reprogramming of the existing built environment, on the other hand, has grown steadily in recent years. While buildings have been reused by humankind for thousands of years for mainly practical reasons, global issues of sustainability, a lack of resources and urban living space have seen a sharp increase in the adaptation and reuse of subsisting structures. A heightened interest in memory and heritage has added to the discussion of the adequate treatment of the built environment. While adaptive reuse certainly aids in the solving of rather functional issues which ever-growing cities like Berlin face, it can also play an essential role in revitalising historic buildings by equipping them with a new use and therefore preventing their abandonment and decay, all the while respecting their heritage. The exploration of adaptive reuse as a means for reestablishing GDR architecture shows particular relevance in the city of Berlin, where monument protection authorities in the past have made questionable decisions such as the rebuilding of the Stadtschloss1 (Figs. 2 and 4) in place of the demolished Palast der Republik2 (Fig. 3) on its Museum Island. At the same time, the rebuilding and restoration of historic structures to their original state bring with it issues of authenticity, oftentimes stripping the building not only of layers of its past but "freezing" it in time, further preventing it from having a meaningful future shaped by its occupants and its continued use (Plevoets and Van Cleempoel 2019, 1; Scott 2008, 1; Stone 2020, 3). A fate shared by an increasing number of monument protected buildings of GDR times in Berlin. This thesis will first investigate architectural theory surrounding adaptive reuse and memory to form a framework for the subsequent examination of existing approaches to GDR architecture in Berlin. The aim of the analysis of three buildings of different GDR times and architectural styles is to establish the value assigned to these structures and the memory associated with them today. The thesis will further explore the reasons for the apparent bias in their treatment and the absence of adaptive reuse projects in this building category. The related design project of the thesis intends to illustrate the suitability of adaptive reuse as a response to these GDR era structures by reprogramming and altering an unused and decaying pavilion of the era and re- establishing it as a vital part of its surroundings.
