OUTLINE
- Introduction
- Introduction to the concept of adaptive reuse – history and various theories of adaptive reuse.
- Understanding adaptive re-use of buildings as a key to sustainable development. To explore the relationship between financial, environmental and social parameters associated with the adaptive re-use of buildings.
- Case studies
- Understanding the application of the concept of adaptive-reuse through various case studies (within the country and abroad). Critical appraisal of the design approach of the case studies.
- Case studies should include examples of domestic, commercial, industrial, ecclesiastical and public building types. Analysis of the case studies should be based on the spatial attributes, structural knowledge and materiality of the existing structures and the strategies and tactics of adaptive reuse in architecture.
- Design generation processes in Adaptive re-use
- Analysis of the existing structure – Importance of building assessment report – process of documentation and condition mapping in deciding design recommendations.
- Understanding the design logic. Role of various parameters in concept generation.
- Strategies for re-modelling.
- Adaptive re-use of heritage buildings
- Understanding Adaptive re-use as an important strategy towards conservation of built heritage.
- Appreciation of the various values (architectural, cultural, historical, associational, social, etc) that is associated with heritage buildings. Developing an ethical approach for adaptive re-use.
Note: The culmination of the elective could be a smaller scale adaptive re-use project done by the students inculcating all the ideas covered throughout the subject. – Field visits and case studies help on better understanding of the concept of adaptive re-use.
