1. TOPIC “REJUVENATING HERITAGE PRECINCTS, BY HARMONIOUSLY UNITING IT WITH BUILT SPACES” 2. INTRODUCTION In India history and tradition both have their roots in the past, “but history for its inability to adapt to the changed time, is rendered obsolete as fossiled remains of a bygone era”. Common man is not aware of the existence of such historical precinct, nor is he aware of such historical importance of these sites. They are first looked up as piece of art or remnant of a bygone era. The level of achievement of a city can be viewed from its architectural coordination between the built environment and open spaces. Adaptive reuse Adaptive reuse refers to the process of reusing an old site or building for a purpose other than which it was built or designed. Building adaptive reuse is a viable alternative to demolition and replacement. As it entails less energy and waste, and can offer social benefits by revitalizing familiar landmarks and giving them a new lease of life. It is defined as “a significant change to an existing building function when the former function has become obsolete”. Adaptive reuse is relevant to the current climate change adaptation agenda due to its ability to recycle resources in place. It has been said that the greenest buildings are the ones that we already have.
3. AIM: To retain and sympathetically reuse significant existing historic fabric and harmoniously unite it with the new built and open spaces.
4. Objectives of Thesis -To preserve and reuse the existing building and propose revitalisation of the heritage precincts. -To study about the gradual change from past to present in the construction

-To use the surrounding area more effectively this will benefit the local people by
providing employment, recreational space, and heritage centre or art gallery.
