A prudent adaptive re-use plan has restored the identity of these heritage structures. The archaic beauty is kept intact, while embracing modern-day requirements. Dutiful restorative efforts like these can ensure that heritage is not lost to posterity. Puran Kumar here talks about the ins and outs of adaptive reuse- the subject matter, its benefits, its constraints, the loopholes, and the remedies.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What in your opinion are 3 guiding principles of adaptive reuse?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preservation, Sustainable Intervention, Reinvigoration<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One must preserve the existing elements of the site and context, in order to sustainably intervene to develop the program and design it for reinvigoration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What are the benefits and constraints that adaptive reuse brings along? Could you explain that in reference to your work undertaken in Mumbai\u2019s Ballard Estate and Fort precinct?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the process of adaptive re-use saves time, energy and materials, while designing and proposing the new space, it is extremely crucial to keep the existing material palette in mind. Adaptive re-use gives an opportunity to create a sustainable and uniquely designed environment while keeping the historic context and current purpose to be alive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example of this is Tianu \u2013 The Revival Project, where the original structure; columns and beams have been inherited and exposed. They are used from the existing site to compliment the proposed design with an obtainable ceiling. The arched windows as well, have been revitalized which very naturally complimented the proposed design.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\"

Can you explain when one should not demolish and why?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes &#8211; there is nothing like a building that is \u201cnot useful\u201d. As designers and architects, it is important to bring the building back to life; the many layers of the building may be recognized, adapted and created into something totally new. Demolishing is not always the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, the only time a building <em>needs<\/em> to be demolished is when the structure is not functional, that\u2019s when the lifecycle ends. However, the building can be braced to prolong its life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heritage buildings in South Bombay are important markers to the city. They have a greater reason to prolong their life cycles since they are&nbsp; important landmarks and can continue to be used as spaces of character with creative programmatic outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\"

takes the backstage when rich dividends come to the forefront? Who are the larger stakeholders involved and responsible for ensuring that heritage gets the attention it deserves in terms of finances, laws and other bureaucratic procedures?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, the idea of revamping does usually take a back seat when rich dividends come to the forefront, otherwise one wouldn\u2019t see new buildings being constructed or built. Stakeholders are typically very limited, especially those who are invested in the concept of sustainable design or adaptive reuse. Sometimes the stakeholders are the landlords or people who own the infrastructure.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been a shift and people are starting to recognize the importance of heritage structures and how these spaces could be revived. However, you may find that the majority of the community bodies and government authorities are not very inclined towards projects that are involved with heritage conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Heritage buildings in South Bombay are important markers to the city.
