Revitalization, Abandoned buildings, Palimpsest, Adaptive reuse

The growing demand for new buildings overshadows the idea of reusing existing buildings which will eventually become dilapidated and dysfunctional. Although this may pose many threats, it also holds a lot of potential to transform into something functional and useful through the process of adaptive reuse and revitalization. This paper focuses on the different aspects of revitalizing the abandoned building by exploring different adaptive reuse strategies. The concept of palimpsest is then introduced and discussed in detail pertaining to different aspects in architecture. It further investigates on how adaptive reuse can be viewed through the lens of Palimpsest that can inform design decisions for efficient architectural outcomes. Through the analysis of case study emphasizes the relationship between adaptive reuse and palimpsest and highlights the importance of preserving the historical heritage. The outcomes of this study will provide an overall understanding of how adaptive reuse projects can effectively incorporate historical context and cultural memory with a sense of place while meeting contemporary needs.
