Adaptive reuse

Adaptive reuse refers to the process of reusing an existing building for a purpose other than which it was originally built or designed for. It is also known as recycling and conversion.^[1] Adaptive reuse is an effective strategy for optimizing the operational and commercial performance of built assets.^[2] Adaptive reuse of buildings can be an attractive alternative to new construction in terms of sustainability and a circular economy.^[3] It has prevented thousands of buildings' demolition and has allowed them to become critical components of urban regeneration.^[1] Not every old building can qualify for adaptive reuse. Architects, developers, builders and entrepreneurs who wish to become involved in rejuvenating and reconstructing a building must first make sure that the finished product will serve the need of the market, that it will be completely useful for its new purpose, and that it will be competitively priced.^[4]
