Adaptive reuse and historic preservation projects are critically important typologies that cultivate cultural, environmental, and economic benefits. By focusing on the conservation and repurposing of existing structures, these projects play a vital role in connecting communities to their past, while maintaining a sense of place. Furthermore, these projects are inherently sustainable, reducing the need for new materials and minimizing construction waste. They ensure that valuable historic resources are not lost but rather reclaimed for the greater good of society on the constituency they serve. To often buildings of character are discarded - bringing them back to life pays respect to the craftmanship of a bygone era. It is proof of the transcendent quality of architecture that can span generations.
