Sustainable Adaptive Reuse Strategy Evaluation for Cultural Heritage Buildings

Abstract

Historical buildings are heritages that play a strategic role in the sustainable building environment need to be protected, and the continuation of the building stock from the past to the present should be ensured. With the concept of adaptive reuse, it is important that historical buildings gain new functional features with contemporary additions, ensure the continuity of cultures and carry the traces of the past to future generations. The aim of this study is to determine the adaptive reuse strategy of historic buildings, and to observe how contemporary additions are integrated to maintain a sustainable form of conservation. The research question of th study is how the contemporary additions that can meet the needs of the reuse of the historical buildings are applied. The building samples obtained through the literature review were evaluated in terms of physical aspects include criteria such as the size and mass of the additions, material selection, and the suitability of the existing historical building to the new function by using the comparative analysis method. It has been determined that although the designs of the additions are different from each other, most of the additions to the existing buildings are made for commercial and cultural purposes and involve steel and glass materials. The built environment can be revitalized as a result of bringing these buildings to society, using new functions and contemporary materials, and introducing economic, socio-cultural, and environmental innovations.

Effect of outrigger system in high-rise buildings on structural behavior and cost

“…Structure + foundation can be solved together, and foundation stiffness matrices are established (Sta4Cad V14.1, 2015). Building geometry plays an important role in the construction industry and architectural design Takva and İlerisoy, 2023b;Takva et al, 2023c). Designs created with rational decisions in building production processes, which progress in many scopes, from the scale of a single building to the formation of urban textures, are among the basic assumptions of efficient and optimum production practice.…”

“…Another contribution of the reusing of historical buildings is sociocultural sustainability. Reusing ensures the continuity of the sense of belonging to the cultural values of the society (B€ uy€ ukçam and Ey€ ubo glu, 2022; Takva et al, 2023;Arfa et al, 2022). Historical residential areas provide locals a sense of place, preserve their collective memories and represent both their cultural and individual identities (Butina-Watson and Bentley, 2007).…”
