Adaptive Reuse
Transforming existing structures and spaces to serve new purposes, addressing social, environmental, and community needs.
Adaptive reuse involves redesigning and repurposing buildings, infrastructure, and spaces for contemporary functions. This approach extends the life of existing structures while addressing practical challenges in housing, social services, and community resilience.The community explores adaptive reuse across diverse contexts: converting commercial buildings into social facilities, retrofitting infrastructure for refugee settlements, transforming industrial spaces into vocational centers, and reimagining public structures to support vulnerable populations and foster community recovery.
