Undergraduate Thesis Panel for "Reusing the Unused"

Starting with the idea of studying the origin and emergence of the Building Reuse theories and practices, the thesis aimed to study 19th and 20th century theories of Building Reuse of Theorists, Authors and Architects. A significant Evolution is seen throughout the chronology of these Theories which is analysed in the thesis and the study focuses on how Adaptive reuse has emerged from these theories which is still not a theory in its own but viewed with the lense of practical approaches. The four approaches - Typological, Technical, Programmatic and Strategic are identified by different architects and theorists and the study has attempted to view and analyse these approaches with illustrative projects and example for an in-depth study.
