A new framework helps decide how to repurpose historic landmarks for modern use
In short: Researchers evaluating the Castello Visconteo in Italy found that a multi-criteria decision analysis can help identify the best way to adaptively reuse historic sites. By weighing economic and qualitative indicators, the study proposed four different scenarios for the castle's future, aiming to support sustainable urban development and the circular economy.
The study used the NAIADE method to evaluate different reuse scenarios for the castle, specifically considering the needs that emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. This approach helps balance the preservation of historical memory with the creation of new social and economic value.
The evaluation relied on the opinions of various stakeholders, which may reflect specific local interests rather than universal architectural standards.
Why it matters: Adaptive reuse of historic buildings can support a circular economy by extending the life of materials and creating new social value.
