DISSERTATION PROPOSAL LIMITATION:

AIM: 1. THIS RESEARCH FOCUSES ONLY ON THE INTERIORS OF

ADAPTIVE REUSE OF AN EXISTING BUILDING BY CHANGING ITS FUNCTION AND ADDING AN BUILDING WHOSE ADAPTIVE REUSE IS BEING DONE
EXTENSION WITH RESPECT TO SURROUNDING CONTEXT AND IMAGE OF THE BUILDING. 2. ADAPTIVE REUSE PROVIDES LESS FLEXIBILITY , THAT IS, IT
RESEARCH QUESTION: LIMITS THE POTENTIAL THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED
CHAPTERS:
1. WHY REUSE?
2. HOW TO JUSTIFY A SENSE OF PLACE? 1. INTRODUCTION
3. ADVANTAGES OF ADAPTIVELY REUSED BUILDING 2. WHAT IS ADAPTIVE REUSE
4. WHAT IS THE QUANTITY OF THE DEFINING ELEMENTS THAT CAN BE ALTERED? 3. WHY ADAPTIVE REUSE
5. WHAT FUNCTION IS VIABLE FOR THE REUSE AND WHY? 4. TYPES OF ADAPTIVE REUSE
6. HOW TO JUSTIFY THE IMAGE OF THE BUILDING WITH THE ALTERED FUNCTION? 5. METHODS OF ADAPTIVE REUSE
6. CRITERIA FOR ADAPTIVE REUSE
7. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF ADAPTIVE REUSE
OBJECTIVES: 8. SURROUNDING CONTEXT AND ADAPTIVE REUSE
1. WHAT IS ADAPTIVE REUSE AND WHAT ARE THE METHODS TO ACHIEVE IT 9. WHAT FUNCTION IS APPROPRIATE FOR ADAPTIVE REUSE
2. RECOGNISING THE RIGHT BUILDING FOR RE USE 10. TAKING EXAMPLES FROM SIMILAR CONTEXT
3. WHAT KIND OF REUSE IS RIGHT FOR A PARTICULAR KIND OF BUILDING 11. CASE STUDIES
4. HOW MUCH CAN BE CHANGED AUR INTERVENED AND HOW MUCH SHOULD BE PRESERVED 12. STARTING A DESIGN PROCESS
5. CHANGED FUNCTION AND THE KIND OF INTERIORS SHOULD JUSTIFY THE CONTEXT AND
NATURE OF THE BUILDING AND SHOULD DEFINE THE SENSE OF A PLACE
METHODOLOGY:
1. THE RESEARCH BEGAN WITH UNDERSTANDING ADAPTIVE REUSE AND THE WAYS IN WHICH IT CAN BE
DONE
2. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF ADAPTIVE REUSE
ADAPTIVE REUSE

3. PRESENT DAY SCENARIO OF ADAPTIVE REUSE IN OUR COUNTRY

4. THIS WAS THEN ACCOMPANIED BY LITERATURE CASE STUDIES AND ANALYSING THEM
5. THIS WAS THEN TAKEN FORWARD BY SEEKING EXAMPLES IN THE FORM OF LIVE CASE STUDIES
6. THIS WAS THEN PROCEEDED BY SELECTION OF AN EXISTING SITE FOR THE DESIGNING PROCESS
7. THIS WAS THEN TAKEN FORWARD BY CONCEPTUALISING AND SPACE PLANNING AND FURTHER WORKING
ON DETAILS AND DOCUMENTING EVERYTHING
