Adaptive Reuse Practice Guide 

10-19-2021 04:48 PM

Adaptive reuse of existing buildings and infrastructure offers many opportunities to both maintain/reinvigorate existing neighborhoods and conserve both natural resources and reduce our carbon footprint. It does however present different questions and requires different tools and skills than needed for the planning and design process for new buildings. 

This Practice Guide for Adaptive Reuse is offered to assist Architects, and others in the design and construct world, in finding their way through a process that can be complex and has many of the same challenges, but also many that are different than the “normal” practice of architecture. It addresses some of these new challenges and offers a list of Online Resources and a Bibliography for further investigation.
