A new ten-step model for repurposing historic buildings
In short: Researchers conducting an international literature review found that the process of adaptive reuse for heritage buildings has not been widely studied. To address this gap, they developed a structured, ten-step conceptual model designed to help preserve the historical value of buildings while adapting them for modern use.
The study synthesized existing international literature to identify the core stages of repurposing historic structures. While the resulting model provides a theoretical framework for conservation, the authors note that this is an 'ideal' model that still requires validation through real-world practice.
The proposed model includes stages ranging from initial initiative and value assessment to execution and long-term evaluation.
Why it matters: This framework provides a theoretical basis for preserving historical values during modern building renovations.
