Human population has been increasing over the period of time and so is the human needs and among all other needs one of our basic need is land. Land for agriculture, construction, etc. But how much our demands may increase, the net amount of surface area available on ground may remain constant. At this decade, everyone need newer buildings for which many of the time our older buildings that may have a cultural and heritage value to our society are taken down. Is it really important for us to construct the newer building while demolishing the older structure that may have an environmental, social, and benefit to our community.
The number of buildings that are becoming abandoned due to their incapability to adapt a specific program is increasing drastically.1 The types of building that are most likely to become subjects of adaptive reuse include industrial buildings due to their large footprints. Adaptive reuse from past few years have become an effective way of reducing the urban sprawl and environment impact.
