HISTORY OF ADAPTIVE REUSE IN ARCHITECTURE: STUDIES FROM IRAN

Abstract

Adaptive reuse of built heritage is among the most common sustainable approaches to preserving economic and environmental values and passing them on to future generations. It also leads to a reduction in environmental effects and carbon footprint. In this research, a review of built heritage adaptive reuse practices based on case studies from different cities in Iran is presented. The four projects have different construction dates and functions. In conclusion, all displayed cases have considered shared standards and approaches in preservation and reuse forms to secure the initial building's integrity and sense of place; at the same time attempting to include a few buildings and stylish esteem and discover inventive arrangements. The result serves as a sample for discovering adaptive reuse practices in Iran and accomplishing a viewpoint on distinctive approaches based on the diverse foundations of each built heritage.

Mimarlıkta Uyarlanabilir Yeniden Kullanımın Tarihi: İran'dan Çalışmalar

Abstract

Yapılı mirasın uyarlanabilir şekilde yeniden kullanılması, ekonomik ve çevresel değerlerin korunması ve gelecek nesillere aktarılmasına yönelik en yaygın sürdürülebilir yaklaşımlar arasında yer almaktadır. Aynı zamanda çevresel etkilerde ve karbon ayak izinde azalmaya yol açar. Bu araştırmada, İran'ın farklı şehirlerindeki örnek olaylara dayanarak yapılı mirasa uyarlanabilir yeniden kullanım uygulamalarının bir incelemesi sunulmaktadır. Dört projenin inşaat tarihleri ve işlevleri farklıdır. Sonuç olarak, sergilenen tüm vakalarda, ilk binanın bütünlüğünü ve mekan duygusunu güvence altına almak için koruma ve yeniden kullanım formlarında ortak standartlar ve yaklaşımlar dikkate alındı; aynı zamanda birkaç binayı ve stil saygınlığı dahil etmeye ve yaratıcı düzenlemeleri keşfetmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonuç, İran'daki uyarlanabilir yeniden kullanım uygulamalarını keşfetmeye ve her bir inşa mirasının farklı temellerine dayalı farklı yaklaşımlara ilişkin bir bakış açısına ulaşmaya yönelik bir örnek görevi görmektedir.
