3.2.4 Conclusion The most substantial aspect of architecture’s atmosphere is that it may be open-ended and interpreted in various ways. Architecture can be used to arouse curiosity, emotions and senses to tell a story (Sadowniczyk, 2020). This theme can convey a message, teach us about the past or make a statement.
In conclusion, adaptive reuse provides an architectural solution to regenerate a space back into the active urban fabric through an effective programme that creates new growth opportunities. Opportunities can take the form of skills development, economic values and social substance for individuals and the city fabric. Additionally, a programme that focuses on social sustainability enhances the connections between users and the surroundings through reactive and interactive architecture that reflects human interests. Lastly, derelict areas allow architecture to operate as a catalyst for recovering past histories and identities, both tangible and intangible, through economic, social, political and cultural situations.
