What is the realm between functionalist specificity and generic flexibility?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Adaptability is the ability of a building to be altered in order to react to and be compatible with developing, changing demands and maximise value throughout its lifecycle. Redundant spaces in the building can be rendered habitable with minimal interventions, thereby avoiding prolonged and expensive demolition. Apart from the obvious preservation of a place\u2019s cultural heritage and historical value, adaptive reuse also offers a counter to wasteful and environmentally detrimental urban sprawl. Buildings can be designed to respond to changing conditions because of their dynamic qualities. This is possible through their interrelationship with the constantly evolving external and internal causes.\u00a0<\/p>\n The pandemic experience of 2020 has reinforced the importance of flexible design, which can accommodate paradigm shifts and a wide variety of unforeseen scenarios. Adaptability and urban resilience towards economic, environmental, social, and political changes are critical for the relevance of a particular entity. Adaptive resilience establishes a co-evolutionary interaction between stakeholders and the system, i.e., the structure itself. The importance of time-based design thinking as opposed to overdetermined form-based design thinking has slowly but surely become evident. By adding a new layer without erasing earlier layers, an adaptive reuse project becomes part of the site\u2019s long history. It is another stage, not the final outcome, and it contributes to evolution rather than erasure (Sennett).<\/p>\n Our cities\u2019 contemporary structures would be considered the heritage of tomorrow. This should be taken into consideration during the designing phase of a building and should include adaptive reuse as a potential strategy to meet the requirements of the future. As a result, adaptability becomes critical in embodying spatial, structural, and service strategies within the building. Therefore, allowing the tangible a level of malleability to respond to users\u2019 needs over time will extend the building\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”519,520,521″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer” _builder_version=”3.24″ background_size=”initial” background_repeat=”repeat-y” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_module=”434″ saved_tabs=”all” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ border_width_top=”2px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”12px” text_line_height=”2em” link_font=”||||on||||” link_text_color=”#666666″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”|700||on|||||” header_3_font_size=”12px” header_3_letter_spacing=”5px” header_3_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”right” max_width_tablet=”70%” max_width_last_edited=”off|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_font_size=”12px” text_line_height=”2em” link_font=”||||on||||” link_text_color=”#666666″ header_font=”||||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”|700||on|||||” header_3_font_size=”12px” header_3_letter_spacing=”5px” header_3_line_height=”1.8em” text_orientation=”right” max_width_tablet=”70%” max_width_last_edited=”off|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_social_media_follow _builder_version=”4.14.2″ text_orientation=”right” custom_margin=”-20px|||-10px” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”-20px||” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” filter_invert=”100%” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” icon_color__hover=”#e02b20″][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”instagram” _builder_version=”3.23.3″ global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]instagram[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][et_pb_social_media_follow_network social_network=”linkedin” url=”https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/arushi-kejariwal-a47b2a151\/” _builder_version=”4.14.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” background_enable_color=”on” global_colors_info=”{}” follow_button=”off” url_new_window=”on”]linkedin[\/et_pb_social_media_follow_network][\/et_pb_social_media_follow][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Design Dissertation – Polyvalent Adaptability Year 05 | Semester 09 | 2021 Work in progress What is the realm between functionalist specificity and generic flexibility?
