Adaptive Reuse

Adaptive reuse is the process of redeveloping existing buildings, and reusing it for purposes other than which it was designed for, and are typically related to historic preservation or around cities with a rich history. Studies have suggested that adaptive reuse reduces consumption which has been produced and is responsive to the environment. Moreover, it has been proven that retrofitting an existing building to make it more efficient is always better than building a new structure with the same efficiencies. For example, Dubai’s Alserkal Avenue was an adaptive reuse project transformed from a marble-cutting workshop to a warehouse to a gallery which is now a regional hub of art, creativity and community.
