Holistic Study, Analysis of Adaptive Reuse of Historic Structure
Adaptive reuse is the modification of function in heritage structures without compromising on cultural, aesthetic, and traditional values. This study aims to evaluate the obsolescence of a historic building to determine the time for a change in its function. The Victoria Hall in Chennai is assessed for its qualitative and quantitative life. The Adaptive Reuse Potential (ARP) model is used to evaluate the physical life, useful life, and building’s age to assess the potential for reuse. The results show that an Adaptive Reuse Potential (ARP) Score of 67.74% indicates the increased need for the adaptive reuse of Victoria Public Hall, Chennai, which will eventually result in sustenance as a heritage building for a longer time period. Findings indicate that the adaptive reuse technique can be carried out within the stipulated timeline for improved building life. This study is important to understand the conservation potential and process of adaptive reuse of historical buildings to improve the economic, social, and functional aspects.
