Building with Adaptive Reuse of Existing Structures

Thesis Abstract

This project aims to explore the concept of adaptive reuse in building construction, focusing on the repurposing of existing structures for new functions and uses. Adaptive reuse offers opportunities to conserve resources, preserve cultural heritage, and revitalize urban areas through sustainable development practices. The research will investigate the principles of adaptive reuse, its technical and design considerations, and the economic, environmental, and social benefits of adaptive reuse projects. The project will also examine case studies of successful adaptive reuse initiatives, as well as the challenges and opportunities associated with integrating adaptive reuse into contemporary building practices.
