Sažetak
Sustainable development has become a goal for
all countries seeking a balance between social, environmental and economic needs. The principal vision of a sustainable built future is about developing creative designs that
utilize energy and materials effectively. However, this vision
should consider historic buildings that were built centuries
ago. Although many of these buildings are standing in a
stable state, they are obsolete and their values are not fully
utilized. Towards revitalizing and generating sustainable
values of these buildings, adaptive reuse is adopted as a
process of modifying, adapting and reusing obsolete buildings with their existing structures to extend their life cycle
whilst performing a new function. This is currently practiced
worldwide, specifically when a building has a unique architectural character and is in a stable condition. The adaptive
reuse of a historic building should have minimal impact on
the heritage significance of the building and its setting. This
paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of adaptive reuse
as an innovative approach for generating sustainable values
of historic buildings in developing countries. To achieve
this aim, a research strategy is designed to accomplish four
objectives: first, literature related to sustainable development, sustainable values, adaptive reuse and developing
countries is reviewed; second, two case studies are presented and analysed to investigate the role of adaptive reuse
towards increasing the sustainable value of heritage buildings; third, a strategy with its action plan is developed for
facilitating adaptive reuse of historic buildings in developing countries and finally, research conclusions are outlined
and recommendations useful to professionals concerned
with adaptive reuse of historic buildings are proposed.
