ADAPTIVE REUSE - BUILDINGS
Old buildings often outlive their original
purpose
Adaptive reuse or re-use is a process that
adapts buildings for new uses while retaining
their historic features
Eg - An old factory may become an apartment
building
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Adapting old structures for purposes other than those
initially intended
When original use of a structure changes
Or
No longer required as with older buildings from
industrial revolution
Architects have opportunity to change primary function
of structure while retaining some existing architectural
details that make the building unique

Keeping and reusing historic buildings - long-term benefits for
communities that value them
Adaptive reuse can restore and maintain heritage significance of
a building and help to ensure its survival
Rather than

Heritage buildings that are sympathetically recycled can continue to
be used
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense

Increasingly communities governments and developers are seeking ways
to reduce the environmental social and economic costs of

Realisation - Quality and design of built environment vital to our standard of

Lifestyle enhancement through retention of heritage buildings and their
adaptation into accessible and useable places
Reuse of heritage buildings in established residential areas can provide
community with new housing and commercial property opportunities
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
APPROACH
Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have
minimal impact on its heritage significance and its
setting
Developers should gain understanding of why
building has heritage status and then pursue
development that is sympathetic to the building to
give it a new purpose
Adaptive reuse is self-defeating if it fails to protect

Housed in former railway station
Holds mainly French art dating from 1848 to 1915
The suggestion to turn the station into a museum came from the Directorate of the Museums of France
Idea - to build a museum that would bridge gap between Louvre and National Museum of Modern Art at Pompidou Centre
ACT Architecture awarded contract
Involved creating 20000 sq m of new floor space on 4 floors
In 1981 the Italian architect Gae Aulenti chosen to design interior including the internal arrangement decoration furniture and fittings of the museum

BUILDINGS
ADAPTIVE REUSE - a process that changes a disused or ineffective
item into a new item that can be used for a different purpose
Sometimes nothing changes but the itemrsquos use
ADAPTIVE RESUE
ADAPTIVE REUSE - BUILDINGS
Old buildings often outlive their original
purpose
Adaptive reuse or re-use is a process that
adapts buildings for new uses while retaining
their historic features
Eg - An old factory may become an apartment
building
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Adapting old structures for purposes other than those
initially intended
When original use of a structure changes
Or
No longer required as with older buildings from
industrial revolution
Architects have opportunity to change primary function
of structure while retaining some existing architectural
details that make the building unique
bullhttpenwikipediaorgwikiFileMalthouse_richmondjpg
ADAPTIVE RESUE
In local communities unused schools or Post Office
buildings been adapted for reuse as retail stores or
offices
Seen as key factor in land conservation and reducing the
amount of urban sprawl
For the concept of smart growth - more efficient and
environmentally responsible to redevelop older
buildings closer to urban cores than to build new
constructionsbullhttpenwikipediaorgwikiFileMalthouse_richmondjpg

ADAPTIVE RESUE
Adaptive Reuse category ndash Ordsall Hall
Museum by Lloyd Evans Prichard
Peter Cowenrsquos study- suggests that most buildings
physically suitable for adaptation to most uses
Influenced the proposition - lsquoLONG LIFE ndash LOOSE FITrsquo
David Kincaid - should be a guiding principle behind most
design briefs
This longer view of use potential has recently seen a
revival under the sustainability agenda
David Kincaid
The research supporting Kincaidrsquos book also
confirms this idea of general utility of buildings
Encourages adaptation as a serious alternative to
demolition and new build
But
Does not help to determine which new use is
best suited to a particular building in a particular
location at a particular time
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Most successful built heritage adaptive reuse projects -- that
best respect and retain buildingrsquos heritage
significancehelliphellipAND
Add a contemporary layer that provides future value
Sometimes adaptive reuse only way that buildingrsquos fabric will
be properly cared for revealed or interpretedhelliphellipWHILE
Making better use of the building itself
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Where a building can no longer function with its original use a
new use through adaptation may be the only way to preserve its
heritage significance
Adaptive reuse of heritage building Australia
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Adaptive reuse of buildings - major role in sustainable
development
When it involves historic buildings environmental
benefits more significant

Environmental
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
````````
One of the main environmental benefits of reusing buildings - retention of
original buildingrsquos ldquoembodied energyrdquo
By reusing buildings their embodied energy retained making the project much
more environmentally sustainable
Than
An entirely new construction
New buildings have much higher embodied energy costs than buildings that are
adaptively reused
Australian Greenhouse Office - reuse of building materials usually
involves a saving of approximately 95 of embodied energy over new
materials

Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Environmental
In 2001 new building accounted for about

25 of wood harvest
16 of fresh water supplies
44 of landfill
45 of CO2 production and

Social
Keeping and reusing historic buildings - long-term benefits for
communities that value them
Adaptive reuse can restore and maintain heritage significance of
a building and help to ensure its survival
Rather than
Falling into disrepair through neglect or being rendered
unrecognisable
Heritage buildings that are sympathetically recycled can continue to
be used
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Social
Increasingly communities governments and developers are seeking ways
to reduce the environmental social and economic costs of
continued urban development and expansion
Realisation - Quality and design of built environment vital to our standard of
living and our impact upon natural resources
Lifestyle enhancement through retention of heritage buildings and their
adaptation into accessible and useable places
Reuse of heritage buildings in established residential areas can provide
community with new housing and commercial property opportunities
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
APPROACH
Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have
minimal impact on its heritage significance and its
setting
Developers should gain understanding of why
building has heritage status and then pursue
development that is sympathetic to the building to
give it a new purpose
Adaptive reuse is self-defeating if it fails to protect
the buildingrsquos heritage values

ADAPTIVE REUSE - BUILDINGS
Old buildings often outlive their original
purpose
Adaptive reuse or re-use is a process that
adapts buildings for new uses while retaining
their historic features
Eg - An old factory may become an apartment
building
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Adapting old structures for purposes other than those
initially intended
When original use of a structure changes
Or
No longer required as with older buildings from
industrial revolution
Architects have opportunity to change primary function
of structure while retaining some existing architectural
details that make the building unique
bullhttpenwikipediaorgwikiFileMalthouse_richmondjpg
ADAPTIVE RESUE
In local communities unused schools or Post Office
buildings been adapted for reuse as retail stores or
offices
Seen as key factor in land conservation and reducing the
amount of urban sprawl
For the concept of smart growth - more efficient and
environmentally responsible to redevelop older
buildings closer to urban cores than to build new
constructionsbullhttpenwikipediaorgwikiFileMalthouse_richmondjpg

ADAPTIVE RESUE
Adaptive Reuse category ndash Ordsall Hall
Museum by Lloyd Evans Prichard
Peter Cowenrsquos study- suggests that most buildings
physically suitable for adaptation to most uses
Influenced the proposition - lsquoLONG LIFE ndash LOOSE FITrsquo
David Kincaid - should be a guiding principle behind most
design briefs
This longer view of use potential has recently seen a
revival under the sustainability agenda
David Kincaid
The research supporting Kincaidrsquos book also
confirms this idea of general utility of buildings
Encourages adaptation as a serious alternative to
demolition and new build
But
Does not help to determine which new use is
best suited to a particular building in a particular
location at a particular time
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Most successful built heritage adaptive reuse projects -- that
best respect and retain buildingrsquos heritage
significancehelliphellipAND
Add a contemporary layer that provides future value
Sometimes adaptive reuse only way that buildingrsquos fabric will
be properly cared for revealed or interpretedhelliphellipWHILE
Making better use of the building itself
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Where a building can no longer function with its original use a
new use through adaptation may be the only way to preserve its
heritage significance
Adaptive reuse of heritage building Australia
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Adaptive reuse of buildings - major role in sustainable
development
When it involves historic buildings environmental
benefits more significant
As
Historic buildings offer so much to the landscape

Environmental
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
````````
One of the main environmental benefits of reusing buildings - retention of
original buildingrsquos ldquoembodied energyrdquo
By reusing buildings their embodied energy retained making the project much
more environmentally sustainable
Than
An entirely new construction
New buildings have much higher embodied energy costs than buildings that are
adaptively reused
Australian Greenhouse Office - reuse of building materials usually
involves a saving of approximately 95 of embodied energy over new
materials

Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Environmental
In 2001 new building accounted for about
40 of annual energy amp raw materials
consumption
25 of wood harvest
16 of fresh water supplies
44 of landfill
45 of CO2 production and
up to 50 total greenhouse emissions

Social
Keeping and reusing historic buildings - long-term benefits for
communities that value them
Adaptive reuse can restore and maintain heritage significance of
a building and help to ensure its survival
Rather than
Falling into disrepair through neglect or being rendered
unrecognisable
Heritage buildings that are sympathetically recycled can continue to
be used
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Social
Increasingly communities governments and developers are seeking ways
to reduce the environmental social and economic costs of
continued urban development and expansion
Realisation - Quality and design of built environment vital to our standard of
living and our impact upon natural resources
Lifestyle enhancement through retention of heritage buildings and their
adaptation into accessible and useable places
Reuse of heritage buildings in established residential areas can provide
community with new housing and commercial property opportunities
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
APPROACH
Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have
minimal impact on its heritage significance and its
setting
Developers should gain understanding of why
building has heritage status and then pursue
development that is sympathetic to the building to
give it a new purpose
Adaptive reuse is self-defeating if it fails to protect
the buildingrsquos heritage values

Adapting old structures for purposes other than those
initially intended
When original use of a structure changes
Or
No longer required as with older buildings from
industrial revolution
Architects have opportunity to change primary function
of structure while retaining some existing architectural
details that make the building unique

ADAPTIVE RESUE
Adaptive Reuse category ndash Ordsall Hall
Museum by Lloyd Evans Prichard
Peter Cowenrsquos study- suggests that most buildings
physically suitable for adaptation to most uses
Influenced the proposition - lsquoLONG LIFE ndash LOOSE FITrsquo
David Kincaid - should be a guiding principle behind most
design briefs
This longer view of use potential has recently seen a
revival under the sustainability agenda
David Kincaid
The research supporting Kincaidrsquos book also
confirms this idea of general utility of buildings
Encourages adaptation as a serious alternative to
demolition and new build
But
Does not help to determine which new use is
best suited to a particular building in a particular
location at a particular time
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Most successful built heritage adaptive reuse projects -- that
best respect and retain buildingrsquos heritage
significancehelliphellipAND
Add a contemporary layer that provides future value
Sometimes adaptive reuse only way that buildingrsquos fabric will
be properly cared for revealed or interpretedhelliphellipWHILE
Making better use of the building itself
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Where a building can no longer function with its original use a
new use through adaptation may be the only way to preserve its
heritage significance
Adaptive reuse of heritage building Australia
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Adaptive reuse of buildings - major role in sustainable
development
When it involves historic buildings environmental
benefits more significant
As
Historic buildings offer so much to the landscape
identity and amenity of the communities they belong to

Environmental
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
````````
One of the main environmental benefits of reusing buildings - retention of
original buildingrsquos ldquoembodied energyrdquo
By reusing buildings their embodied energy retained making the project much
more environmentally sustainable
Than
An entirely new construction
New buildings have much higher embodied energy costs than buildings that are
adaptively reused
Australian Greenhouse Office - reuse of building materials usually
involves a saving of approximately 95 of embodied energy over new
materials

Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Environmental
In 2001 new building accounted for about
40 of annual energy amp raw materials
consumption
25 of wood harvest
16 of fresh water supplies
44 of landfill
45 of CO2 production and
up to 50 total greenhouse emissions

Social
Keeping and reusing historic buildings - long-term benefits for
communities that value them
Adaptive reuse can restore and maintain heritage significance of
a building and help to ensure its survival
Rather than
Falling into disrepair through neglect or being rendered
unrecognisable
Heritage buildings that are sympathetically recycled can continue to
be used
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Social
Increasingly communities governments and developers are seeking ways
to reduce the environmental social and economic costs of
continued urban development and expansion
Realisation - Quality and design of built environment vital to our standard of
living and our impact upon natural resources
Lifestyle enhancement through retention of heritage buildings and their
adaptation into accessible and useable places
Reuse of heritage buildings in established residential areas can provide
community with new housing and commercial property opportunities
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
APPROACH
Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have
minimal impact on its heritage significance and its
setting
Developers should gain understanding of why
building has heritage status and then pursue
development that is sympathetic to the building to
give it a new purpose
Adaptive reuse is self-defeating if it fails to protect
the buildingrsquos heritage values

David Kincaid
The research supporting Kincaidrsquos book also
confirms this idea of general utility of buildings
Encourages adaptation as a serious alternative to
demolition and new build
But
Does not help to determine which new use is
best suited to a particular building in a particular
location at a particular time
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Most successful built heritage adaptive reuse projects -- that
best respect and retain buildingrsquos heritage
significancehelliphellipAND
Add a contemporary layer that provides future value
Sometimes adaptive reuse only way that buildingrsquos fabric will
be properly cared for revealed or interpretedhelliphellipWHILE
Making better use of the building itself
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Where a building can no longer function with its original use a
new use through adaptation may be the only way to preserve its
heritage significance
Adaptive reuse of heritage building Australia
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Adaptive reuse of buildings - major role in sustainable
development
When it involves historic buildings environmental
benefits more significant

Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have

Adaptive reuse of heritage building Australia
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Adaptive reuse of buildings - major role in sustainable
development
When it involves historic buildings environmental
benefits more significant
As
Historic buildings offer so much to the landscape
identity and amenity of the communities they belong to
Adaptive Reuse Preserving Our Past Building Our Future Royal Institute of Australian Architects
Commonwealth of Australia 2004
Environmental
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
````````
One of the main environmental benefits of reusing buildings - retention of
original buildingrsquos ldquoembodied energyrdquo
By reusing buildings their embodied energy retained making the project much
more environmentally sustainable
Than
An entirely new construction
New buildings have much higher embodied energy costs than buildings that are
adaptively reused
Australian Greenhouse Office - reuse of building materials usually
involves a saving of approximately 95 of embodied energy over new
materials

Environmental
Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
Environmental
In 2001 new building accounted for about
40 of annual energy amp raw materials
consumption
25 of wood harvest
16 of fresh water supplies
44 of landfill
45 of CO2 production and
up to 50 total greenhouse emissions

Industrial Dining Room
Social
Keeping and reusing historic buildings - long-term benefits for
communities that value them
Adaptive reuse can restore and maintain heritage significance of
a building and help to ensure its survival
Rather than
Falling into disrepair through neglect or being rendered
unrecognisable
Heritage buildings that are sympathetically recycled can continue to
be used
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Social
Increasingly communities governments and developers are seeking ways
to reduce the environmental social and economic costs of
continued urban development and expansion
Realisation - Quality and design of built environment vital to our standard of
living and our impact upon natural resources
Lifestyle enhancement through retention of heritage buildings and their
adaptation into accessible and useable places
Reuse of heritage buildings in established residential areas can provide
community with new housing and commercial property opportunities
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
APPROACH
Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have
minimal impact on its heritage significance and its
setting
Developers should gain understanding of why
building has heritage status and then pursue
development that is sympathetic to the building to
give it a new purpose
Adaptive reuse is self-defeating if it fails to protect
the buildingrsquos heritage values

Benefits Of Adaptive Reuse in Heritage Buildings ndash the Australian Example
````````
One of the main environmental benefits of reusing buildings - retention of
original buildingrsquos ldquoembodied energyrdquo
By reusing buildings their embodied energy retained making the project much
more environmentally sustainable
Than
An entirely new construction
New buildings have much higher embodied energy costs than buildings that are
adaptively reused
Australian Greenhouse Office - reuse of building materials usually
involves a saving of approximately 95 of embodied energy over new
materials

Keeping and reusing historic buildings - long-term benefits for
communities that value them
Adaptive reuse can restore and maintain heritage significance of

Rather than
Falling into disrepair through neglect or being rendered
unrecognisable
Heritage buildings that are sympathetically recycled can continue to
be used
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Social
Increasingly communities governments and developers are seeking ways
to reduce the environmental social and economic costs of
continued urban development and expansion
Realisation - Quality and design of built environment vital to our standard of
living and our impact upon natural resources
Lifestyle enhancement through retention of heritage buildings and their
adaptation into accessible and useable places
Reuse of heritage buildings in established residential areas can provide
community with new housing and commercial property opportunities
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
APPROACH
Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have
minimal impact on its heritage significance and its
setting
Developers should gain understanding of why
building has heritage status and then pursue
development that is sympathetic to the building to
give it a new purpose
Adaptive reuse is self-defeating if it fails to protect

Social
Keeping and reusing historic buildings - long-term benefits for
communities that value them
Adaptive reuse can restore and maintain heritage significance of
a building and help to ensure its survival
Rather than
Falling into disrepair through neglect or being rendered
unrecognisable
Heritage buildings that are sympathetically recycled can continue to
be used
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
Social
Increasingly communities governments and developers are seeking ways
to reduce the environmental social and economic costs of
continued urban development and expansion
Realisation - Quality and design of built environment vital to our standard of
living and our impact upon natural resources
Lifestyle enhancement through retention of heritage buildings and their
adaptation into accessible and useable places
Reuse of heritage buildings in established residential areas can provide
community with new housing and commercial property opportunities
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
APPROACH
Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have
minimal impact on its heritage significance and its
setting
Developers should gain understanding of why
building has heritage status and then pursue
development that is sympathetic to the building to
give it a new purpose
Adaptive reuse is self-defeating if it fails to protect
the buildingrsquos heritage values

Social
Increasingly communities governments and developers are seeking ways
to reduce the environmental social and economic costs of
continued urban development and expansion
Realisation - Quality and design of built environment vital to our standard of
living and our impact upon natural resources
Lifestyle enhancement through retention of heritage buildings and their
adaptation into accessible and useable places
Reuse of heritage buildings in established residential areas can provide
community with new housing and commercial property opportunities
Reuse of heritage buildings makes good sense
ADAPTIVE RESUE
APPROACH
Adaptive reuse of a historic building should have
minimal impact on its heritage significance and its
setting
Developers should gain understanding of why
building has heritage status and then pursue
development that is sympathetic to the building to
give it a new purpose
Adaptive reuse is self-defeating if it fails to protect
the buildingrsquos heritage values

Opening or closing several acoustical walls
- diversity of spaces created allowing the
configuration of different sound caves
Thus building able to transform itself for the
specific needs of a concert
Concept - building and its geometry might
have such an impact on the music that it
might be the cause of something new

Double layer for thermodynamic
insulation
Architects introduced wood-frame
technology
In combination with
Walls also acting as heat
collectors moderating room
temperature
And
Their hard smooth finish - do not
need rendering

Thus building able to transform itself for the
specific needs of a concert
Concept - building and its geometry might
have such an impact on the music that it
might be the cause of something new
Inner mechanism exposed through a
