RESEARCH AIM: To explore the usability of the Adaptive Reuse Potential Model (Langston and Shen, 2007).

RESEARCH OBJECTIVES: To conduct a background study on the practice of adaptive reuse of historic buildings.

To use the two (2) case studies of the Tate Modern (London) and the High Line (New York) to test the ARP Model.

RAPID URBANISATION & MEGA CITIES Spurred by economic development and population growth Contributes to the occurence of abandoned historic buildings | blighted neighborhoods due to migration patterns and other circumstances Increasing urban footprint, depletion of greenfield, occurence of brownfield sites Comes with challenges such as congestion, isses with resource allocation etc.

U.K. | 3.8% of Grade I and II* in Heritage at Risk register (Historic England, 2016)

ADAPTIVE REUSE Adaptive reuse involves rehabilitating buildings to enable the structure to host a new and different occupant.

The adaptation of structures is a practice that promotes sustainability as it maximises the embodied energy in historic buildings (Wong, 2017)

ADAPTIVE REUSE POTENTIAL MODEL (ARP) ANALYSIS Langston and Shen (2007)

The ARP model could prove to be useful for portfolio managers such as English Heritage to call attention to heritage properties that need urgent attention as it is an indexing system ranking structures against each other in terms of timeliness for repurposing.

IN 1981, THE REDUNDANCY OF BANKSIDE POWER STATION WAS PREMATURE BY 26.73 YEARS (RESIDUAL USEFUL LIFE) IN RELATION TO ELU. THE STRUCTURE HAD 66 YEARS OF RESIDUAL PHYSICAL LIFE. BLUE GRAPH 1971 WOULD HAVE BEEN THE OPTIMAL TIME (ELU) FOR REPURPOSING THE STRUCTURE, 24.90 YEARS AFTER IT WAS BUILT AND 28.10 YEARS BEFORE IT WAS REOPENED AS THE TATE MODERN IN 2000.

WITH 20% MAXIMUM OBSOLESCENCE, REDUNDANCY IN 1981 WOULD HAVE BEEN 9.10 YEARS OVERDUE THE OPTIMAL TIME (ELU) FOR REPURPOSING IN 1971. IT WOULD HAVE THE SAME RESIDUAL PHYSICAL LIFE.

DISCUSSION

Crucial social, economic and political factors such as: - pollution issues, prevalence of power stations outside London, and the Middle East Oil Crisis of the 1970's (TATE MODERN) - rise of the trucking industry (HIGH LINE) could not be properly quantified in the criteria for obsolescence hence, yielding uncorrelated results to actual events.

Diversify criteria through an assessment questionnaire.

OBSOLESCENCE CRITERIA

Integrate queries on environmental issues in assessment questionnaire.

ADAPTIVE REUSE AND THE ARP MODEL BACKGROUND AND METHOD ANALYSIS

CONCLUSION

16/16

As Bollack (2013, p. 9) has conveyed, “An old building is not an obstacle but rather a foundation for continued action.”

The analysis suggests that further research on the key points of obsolescence and the interrelationship of variables in the ARP model in order to strengthen the method. It is without doubt that the practice of adaptive reuse would immensely benefit from such a model for site selection once these recommendations are fully explored.

PANEL DISCUSSION

SUSTAINABILITY | HERITAGE “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable�

(Division for Sustainable Development UNHQ, 2017)

The sustainable development principles of social, cultural, economic and environmental equity contribute to heritage conservation (Fouseki, 2016).

Heritage provides for cultural identity, social cohesion and economic progress, which contribute to sustainable development.

MEGA CITIES To put urbanisation into context...

2007 | more than half of the world's population live in an urban setting.

2050 | 2/3 of the world's population expected to live in an urban setting.

28 mega cities (10+ mil. inhabitants) Construction industry forecasts...

2030 | global construction output to grow by 85%, at a rate of 3.9% p.a.

UK to be 6th largest market
