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."
