Adaptive Reuse of Historic Building

Adaptive reuse explores the choices between destruction and recreation, giving a location a new cycle rather than locking it in a certain moment in time. Adaptive reuse maintains its lengthy history while solving the issue of land scarcity and planting a new layer without removing the roots of former levels. Due to the rapid growth and development worldwide, nations tend to preserve their historic sites that represent their heritage to assist communities in preserving their wide variety of environmental personality and heritage. The adaptive reuse technique is employed for this purpose, with the phrases "adaptive reuse" and "renovation, refurbishment, and rehabilitation" often used interchangeably. However, this study seeks to distinguish each term based on a framework discussed in the literature and determine the value that could be achieved by considering the potentials of the three sustainability pillars while adaptively reusing historic structures.
