AdaptIVE RE-USE OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS INAR 392 MERVE AYHAN 093835
ADAPTIVE RE-USE: the defINITION Adaptive re-use is the process of preserving the outter facade of the building, however changing the function for which it is used for. For example using a historical church and changing it to a mosque by adding only a few elements onto or into the building without demolishing. We must use this process in such a way that we are able to return to the original state.
ADAPTIVE RE-USE: EXAMPLE 1 Tate Modern This building is located in London. It was formally used at a magnificent oil-fired power station which was then transformed into a modern art museum. There are many display areas, shops and cafes which have been added into the museum. There have been no changes on the actual structure.
adaptIVE RE-USE: EXAMPLE 2 This place was an old water plant which is located in, Berlin. Two artistic friends buy this unused water plant and turn the interior into a magnificent live/work space. The old water pumping station now accommodates two separate private areas for the artists, a generous kitchen, four bathrooms, an attic living room and some of the most spectacular light-filled living and working spaces.
ADAPTIVE RE-USE: EXAMPLE 3 This building was a former water-processing plant which has been turned into Café Restaurant in Amsterdam. Dating back to the late 1800s, the building is left mostly intact, with the main pumps proudly on display in the main part of the restaurant. The large space is lit with huge floodlights in the evenings.
