Adaptive Re-Use - BENV2101 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description An examination of the trend to find new uses for existing buildings rather than demolish and rebuild. Issues of conservation, preservation and heritage value of buildings; the role of other interested parties (media, community groups) in determining options for re-use. The course will address such issues as: surveying and assessing buildings for their suitability for adaptive re-use; measuring adaptive re-use in terms of environmentally sustainable design (ESD); assessing building forms and finding suitable compatible new functions; working within the Burra Charter; building conservation techniques; writing a "Heritage Conservation Report". Case studies selected from recent local examples of adaptive re-use. A design exercise involving adaptive re-use.
