Retrofit
Adaptive reuse and structural interventions that transform existing buildings with new architectural elements.
Retrofit addresses how architects insert new structures, materials, and spatial configurations into existing buildings. Rather than demolition, these projects work within inherited constraints to create contemporary spaces that coexist with historical fabric.The community explores diverse retrofit strategies: stacking new pavilions onto industrial rooftops, subdividing complexes into distinct structural systems, carving sculptural interventions through existing spaces, and pouring new structural elements through repurposed industrial buildings.
