the Adaptive Reuse Movement

The Adaptive Reuse Movement refers to the practice of repurposing old buildings for new uses rather than demolishing them. This approach preserves historical and cultural heritage while promoting sustainability by reducing waste and the need for new materials. For example, a factory might be transformed into apartments or an old church could become a community center. This movement not only revitalizes neighborhoods but also encourages creative design solutions, fostering a sense of community and connection to the past in modern urban development.
