Thesis - Interior adaptation within the existing built environment. A comparative study of restoration, preservation and adaptive reuse

This thesis explores the fundamental aspects of interior architecture regarding the existing built environment. It focuses on the necessity of restoration, preservation and adaptive reuse as possible solutions when approaching a new project concerning an existing building. Through the study of books, current journals and relevant projects, a universal understanding is formed about approaches that can be used to react to the existing built environment. Also discussed are the more challenging situations that can arise, such as how to deal with heritage, contentious places or the concept of memory of place. Examples and case studies are worldwide to appeal to a greater audience. The thesis outlines and defines possibilities for repairing, restoring, and protecting the existing built environment while keeping them practical in the current time. Before concluding the thesis, a design project, done in conjunction with the thesis, is discussed and explores how the different approaches and interventions discussed can be used to react to a site based on the specific site’s history, value and intangible qualities.

Changing and repurposing existing buildings for their continued use was quite common in the past and structurally safe buildings were adapted to meet new functions and needs. In modern conservation theory, Adaptive Reuse is an important means of preserving cultural heritage. The main question is what are the priorities and shortcomings of adaptive reuse theoretical references within interior architecture based on comparative study with Nara Document parameters. The research method of this study is qualitative, with logical argument as a strategy. The priorities were studied and then the most important weaknesses and drawbacks of these approaches to Adaptive Reuse were analyzed in a comparative study with the Nara Grid by 32 semi-structured interviews with experts in the fields of Architecture, Interior architecture and conservation. The results show four main Adaptive Reuse priorities extracted from the reviewed literature: Host Space Function, Programmatic Approach to New Use, Tech...

Existing old buildings were considered as the city’s culture reminder. By the time, they could be kept via adaptation for contemporary usages. That adopting considered the context of the environmental, social and economic idea of the prior eras, related to the building’s life cycle, that guided by local solutions. This paper started with the adaptation process definition with an evaluation of a number of building’s state to bring out the different potential outcomes for discussing the future adaptation possibilities, especially that known as “alterations and extensions”. Therefore, by rethinking of the new addition’s integration into the heritage buildings will support the heritage value and fit new functions to present innovative design process approaches in the field of heritage preservation’s design. By analysing some case studies, the study achieved some criteria for designing the alterations and extensions by making them an effective component in the design of old heritage buil...

The architectural monuments of every society form a part of its cultural heritage and must be preserved for future generations. Today this process involves a range of complex challenges. The conservation of monuments entails not only assessing and evaluating those monuments but also engaging in a wide range of public relations activities. The aim of this course is therefore to help students gain a good working knowledge of architectural fundamentals as well as architectural history and theory. As such, this lecture series is divided into three broad modules: • History and Theory • Methods and Tools • Concepts and Projects During the course students will undertake a great deal of research, developing their own questions and viewpoints and gaining academic insights. They will work their way through academic tasks and apply what they have learnt to investigate a research question of their own choice.

REDUCE, REUSE, RETHINK AND PRESERVE: THE REUSE OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS AS A STRATEGY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY AND HERITAGE APPRECIATION (Atena Editora)

Atena Editora

This article seeks to explore adaptive reuse as a form of connection between the preservation of architectural and urban heritage and the sustainability of the built environment. Reuse in architecture can make the use of spaces more effective while preserving memory, as new life is given to buildings that have potential for use. Furthermore, bringing new function to an underutilized or disused historic building means avoiding complete demolition and less need for construction. Historic buildings represent much more than simply a physical construction, but also something that brings identity and character to the city and serves as a witness to the history of the place. Adaptive reuse is considered a preservation strategy; however it is only effective if it brings social fruition to the building. In this study, the category of reuse represents a new way of conceiving architecture in the 21st century. In this context, we discuss the reasons that make the reuse of architecture and urban ambience a viable alternative, in many cases, for the sustainable preservation of heritage and for the best use of a potential built environment. The criteria that make adaptive reuse an effective strategy for both environmental sustainability and heritage preservation are also presented and discussed. To be considered sustainable, adaptive reuse must preserve the historical value of the building and, at the same time, holistically bring social, economic and environmental advantages to it.

Interior architecture is mainly concerned with adapting existing buildings to new uses and requirements. While determining the extent of intervention, the historic and cultural background of the building plays a very important role. Therefore in adaptive reuse, before starting to develop design proposals, buildings of cultural significance need to be analyzed carefully in order to determine architectural and spatial potentials. This paper aims to evaluate the process and results of a design studio, which was realized during 2014-2015 Fall Semester in the ITU Department of Interior Architecture. The main purpose of the studio experience was to create adaptive reuse proposals for a historic commercial building by focusing on the theme of “functional unity”. In the first phase of the study, course program was organized in three basic steps: analyzing spatial potential, determining compatible use and developing project proposals. At the end of every step there was a jury to evaluate each phase. Every step had its own priorities and criteria for the jury. After evaluations project proposals were classified according to their main foci as well as advantages and disadvantages of different approaches in terms of functional unity. As a result it was observed that in historic buildings there are different ways of maintaining functional unity based on the intention of the intervention. While identifying compatible use or uses for a historic building, functional unity needs to be evaluated as one of the basic design criteria in order to retain its cultural significance. This is mainly because a historic building can fully reveal it’s potential only if it is experienced and evaluated as a whole.

In this study, the Museum of Innocence, a personal museum fictionalized in parallel to Orhan Pamuk's novel of the same name, is examined in context of adaptive re-use on the basis of its adaptive reuse fiction directing the transformation of the Brukner Apartment. By reason of the fact that it is built both in architectural and literal fields collaterally, the Museum of Innocence has an unusual transformation story created within the intersection of fact and fiction. On that sense, as promoting an alternative way to reuse a historical house, it sets a unique example to discuss the transformation and evolution of residential environment and its sustainability within the urban context. Through the study, the transformation process of the Brukner Apartment and the dynamics of this transformation are discussed. Focusing on the method of the transformation and the content of the new usage, creation of the adaptive reuse fiction in collaboration of architecture and literature through an interdisciplinary dialog and configuration of the content of the fiction to be based on everyday life practices are highlighted. Analyzing the new spatial situation of the Museum of Innocence, success of the adaptive re-use fiction to ensure the sustainability of urban, cultural and social structure is exposed.

Winsor house has a long standing continuous history for 100 years. It presents a unique setting especially with its architectural styles, its land use components and spatial patterns reflecting the change of their living’s patterns. The characteristics of the house is generally crowed, placed in rows and separated by narrow walkways; some ancient style wooden houses. This report is focused on the cultural significance of Winsor house and proposing a conservational plan of this house and contributing to the general understanding of its value and how to conserve the house for cultural tourism. There is need for a conservational plan to be presented to the community, local government, private and government sectors in order to set a conservational plan. These conservational and developing plans should avoid adverse impacts on the authenticity and physical aspects of cultural heritage. Clearly, there is a need to conserve its cultural heritage attractions. And this affords the opportunity to enhance tourism’s economic contribution to a community and a country. Therefore, these conservational and developing plans can be the tool to create a future in which a stable residential core is enlivened and sustained by a widespread system of retail activities, supported by essential infrastructure and community facilities and made more attractive by well-maintained open spaces and monuments.

How to write the perfect design dissertation

Tutors and students from top design colleges share their advice.

Studying design is about crafting a great design portfolio that will wow potential employers, right? Well, yes. But don't discount the importance of astute creative thinking, and expressing yourself eloquently through the written word. In short, your design dissertation matters.

"I don't believe that design students should be focused entirely on portfolio work," argues Myrna MacLeod , programme leader for Graphic Design at Edinburgh Napier University. "They should also be able to demonstrate an interest in the contexts that underpin their work, and the histories and connections that have informed our practice."

• 5 top tips for graduate designers

"Think of a dissertation as an opportunity, not a burden," urges Craig Burston , Graphic and Media Design course leader at London College of Communication (LCC). "It gives us visually-minded people an opportunity to demonstrate that we too can construct arguments and distil complex notions." 

As Burston points out, this is not just an academic exercise: the power of persuasion is often key to success as a commercial designer. "Clients seek clarity, and project concepts or proposals need to be put into context," he says.

Read on to discover some top tips from leading tutors and their students for nailing your design dissertation…

01. Treat it like a design brief

"A great dissertation should be a designed artefact, and portfolio-worthy in its own right," says Burston. And like a design brief, it should be about solving a problem: "Make sure it has clearly stated aims, strong focus, and doesn't lack opinion or rhetoric," he adds.

• Best laptops for graphic design

"The value of a designed dissertation as a portfolio piece is that it's a holistic view of the individual," agrees Sarah James , senior lecturer in Visual Communication at Arts University Bournemouth (AUB). 

"It shows, type, editorial, research and aesthetic skill, as well as the personal interests and convictions of the individual."

James identifies AUB student Maarit Koobas , who investigated responsive type in both her dissertation and final project, as a particularly strong example of this. "Her design version was one of the most authentic, restrained and elegantly expressive I have ever received," she enthuses.

Koobas conducted a huge amount of initial research into both the contexts in which responsive type can be seen – such as advertising, product design, science and material cultures – and the theories behind its analysis, including semiotics, philosophy and politics. "Creating and analysing ideas, before they end up in your portfolio, is what design is all about," argues Koobas.

02. Write about your passion

"To develop essay questions, AUB students are asked to consider what they love, hate or are puzzled by in their practice – essentially, what moves them," says James. 

"A poor dissertation is inauthentically chosen for ease as opposed to interest," she adds. "It rambles and blusters, using complex language to mask insufficient research." 

"You can tell a mile off when the writer isn't interested," agrees Burston. "How can you expect the reader to care about it if you don't? Write about something that reflects your interests, focus and direction. I've read fascinating dissertations on topics as diverse as patterns in nature, and Brutalist car parks. Make me interested in what interests you."

For Edinburgh Napier graduate Fiona Winchester , this topic turned out to be typography in graphic novels. "I love reading them, but I think people still don't take them seriously as an art form, which is a shame," she says. For her dissertation, she conducted qualitative interviews using modified pages with and without imagery (shown above). 

Her advice is simple: "Narrow down your idea to be as precise as possible. The smaller your question, the easier it is to research and try to answer it."

If you're struggling to get the ball rolling on the actual writing process, Winchester advocates starting with whichever bit you have ideas for. "If you're stuck, it's so much easier to write in whatever order it comes to you, and then edit it into a dissertation, than to try write straight through from beginning to end," she insists.

03. Don't be afraid to talk to people

"I always think my students get the most out of the new streams of knowledge they find from talking to people," says McLeod. "It breaks down barriers and allows them to find answers to problems. Hopefully they will adopt that approach when designing for people also."

In some cases, this can involve interviewing your design heroes. "Students are very surprised when they send a question to Stefan Sagmeister , Milton Glaser or Michael Wolff and they reply with the most precious nugget of knowledge," smiles McLeod. 

But remember: it's your dissertation, so don't get lazy and expect your interview subject to do all the heavy lifting.

In other cases, it could be as simple as asking friends or family to help proofread. "It is quite daunting writing such a large body of text," admits Kaori Toh , a recent graduate from Central Saint Martins, whose dissertation explored the politics of design and technology.

"I often felt I'd get lost in all that text and research," she confesses. "Therefore, I would often send my drafts to a couple of friends to have them look through, and keep my writing cohesive."

04. Reflect on your design practice 

Most of all, dissertations are an opportunity to reflect on, and develop, your creative process as a designer. "Ultimately, it's your job to make your work relevant and credible, and the dissertation helps you learn how to do this," adds Burston. 

Of course, writing doesn't always come easily to visually minded people – and Burston highlights the fact that dyslexia is not uncommon amongst designers. 

"You're not on your own – in our profession, quite the opposite in fact – so do seek academic support, and just enjoy thinking and writing about 'stuff' that informs your practice," is his advice.

One of Burston's stand-out students from this year, Tom Baber , welcomed support from the university to help with his dyslexia. Baber's dissertation focused on type design, and particularly the extent to which the longwinded design process is worth the effort, compared to using an existing typeface.

"I saw it as an opportunity to approach other type designers and see what they thought. Turns out I'm not the first to ask the question," he smiles. "Writing my dissertation helped me change from a 'maker' mentality to a 'designer' mentality, and be more critical of my ideas."

20 Thesis topics related to Adaptive reuse

Adaptive reuse is an architectural typology which gives importance to the existing characteristics of the site. This mainly refers to adding a programme or function in the existing built environment of the site. Historic importance of the site is considered before imposing new briefs or programmes in the site. This rejuvenation of the site or the existing built gives a new character and life to the urban environment around the site. Each and every site or built environment can be rehabilitated via adaptive reuse. 

As architects, it is our decision making process, which determines the impact of the proposed adaptive reuse on the surrounding environment . A lot of research has been and can be done on this topic. 

Here are the 20 topics which can lead further in the research. 

1. Factors determining the Adaptive Reuse.

Before deciding whether to revive the existing or insert a built form is decided based on many factors such as economic considerations, social considerations, and environmental considerations. These factors are further divided and help architects and developers to decide what to design on the site. 

2. Effects of adaptive reuse on the environment.

A lot of new buildings are being built, which consume energy, water, and other resources. These effects on the environment are to be considered while proposing an adaptive reuse. The natural surroundings around the site are most likely to be affected by the intervention. 

3. What are principles of adaptive reuse? 

A systematic approach to rejuvenate the abandoned buildings has to be designed in order to cater to the factors affecting adaptive reuse.  

4. Relationship between sustainability and adaptive reuse.

Sustainability is of three types: economic, environmental, and social. These three aspects of sustainability are connected to adaptive reuse as they play an important role in deciding the programme and design decisions taken for the rehabilitation of the site. 

5. Impact of history in adaptive reuse.

Historic significance of a site, serves as a crucial factor. As the existing built on the site, holds a significant place, it should be considered to be revived. Many old significant buildings are converted into usable spaces. Hence it is important to study and analyse the history of a site before formulating a programme. 

6. What is urban regeneration? Is it associated with adaptive reuse?

Many vacant or abandoned buildings in the urban context have been occupied as parkings, or by slum dwellers. This confiscation deteriorates the life of the built environment along with its surroundings. In many cases these abandoned buildings also hold a significant importance in the history of the context, yet it is neglected.

7. Research or Process required for adaptive reuse.

A study on an existing site, its neighbourhoods, along with the structure and services of the existing built form. This study helps in deriving a programme and design. 

8. Historic preservation as adaptive reuse.

Also known as historic conservation, this mainly focuses on preserving the existing heritage of the site and intervenes in a proposal which not only keeps the heritage intact but also enhances it. This is mainly seen in palaces, heritage sites, etc. The palaces are converted into museums and some old abandoned monuments are converted into heritage sites with small museums displaying their historic significance. 

9. Does renovation fall under adaptive reuse?

Renovation revives the building giving new life to the dead built form. 

10. Adaptation of sustainable technologies as adaptive reuse.

If the environment is considered important while proposing a design intervention, certain sustainable technologies have to be adapted. Technologies like solar panels, active-passive cooling systems should be considered and adapted while designing. 

11. Can restoration of a project be associated with adaptive reuse? 

Many UNESCO declared heritage sites are restored and turned into tourist spots adding to the revenue. Even few sites with a small built infrastructures can be repaired with minor alterations and new usage either complementing the existing or even completely opposite to the existing programme can be proposed. This brings harmony between the old and the new. 

12. Construction materials as adaptive reuse.

Sometimes ruins on the site become an important part of the building. Many projects are constructed on the ruins by either using them as a construction material or replicating the existing construction material. Even the surroundings of the site can help in determining the constructing material.  

13. Industrial buildings refurbishment via adaptive reuse.

During the british era many warehouses and industries were constructed across the nation. These warehouses are either abandoned or degraded due to haphazard usage. These built structures can be reused and rehabilitated.

14. Revival of abandoned building via adaptive reuse.

Some of the old, damaged, abandoned buildings or some that don’t serve the purpose. These buildings can be revived by introducing functions that are in need and relevant in changing the urban environment of the surrounding. 

15. Can communities be rehabilitated with the help of adaptive reuse?

Many communities have been rejuvenated by the government led programmes. These programmes mainly focus on upliftment of these communities by proposing art and cultural spaces within the community. 

16. Religious Heritage implementing adaptive reuse.

Most of the communities reside near a religious institute. After years due to certain circumstances, either these institutes are abandoned or turned into ruins.  

17. Can tourism interlinked with adaptive reuse? 

Restoration of the heritage sites like palaces, religious institutes later converted into museums. These museums have become an important tourist spot giving rise to the tourism industry. 

18. Use of surroundings of historic buildings in adaptive reuse.

Context is extremely important. As architects, the intervention within the site should be such that it brings life to the surroundings leading them towards rejuvenation and upliftment. 

19. Adaptive reuse for rejuvenation of traditional vernacular architecture.

Cities with great historical significance which have been dying and losing its significance. These cities have been following traditional techniques and a revival of these technologies and buildings are important. 

20. Can revitalization of small towns support adaptive reuse? 

Small towns and villages have cultural significance associated with a historic significance. This significance is associated with conservation and protection of these heritage sites.
