Abstract

Adaptive reuse is a successful global strategy applied in many types of facilities around the world, including prestigious heritage buildings. The aim of this article is to illustrate the potential of the adaptive reuse of buildings and their impact on sustainable development. Implementation of solutions for sustainable construction in this case entails the opportunity to combine tradition with modernity. The analysis of adaptations shows the main strategies, design criteria, and the scope of implementation, because the adaptations usually include not only the objects, but also their immediate surroundings.
