2.1. Introduction

The literature study states theories and principles of Adaptive Reuse. It orients the study towards Industrial Buildings Revival techniques and its elements. Highlighting the advantage of Adaptive Reuse and its typologies Suitable to design, the study analysis the data and establishes an interrelation between Adaptive Reuse - Industrial Buildings and how they can be a effective way to reduce Urban Sprawl.

Adaptive reuse ordinarily alludes to the reuse of locales or structures for reason other than they were initially constructed or intended for. These new purposes can offer monetary, social, social and inventive advantages to their surroundings. Adaptive reuse manages issues of manageability. protection and conservation of assembled structure as well as techniques and strategies. When old designs become inadmissible for their utilitarian and automatic necessities or has stayed unused, versatile reuse turns into a reasonable choice for recovery of locales and thusly, the likely worth of the property will be augmented by adjusting the space. Adaptive reuse is characterized as a renewal technique which utilizes a progression of connected methodology to anticipate, stock, gain, oversee and reuse excess or deserted land. [16]

“Cities are an immense laboratory of trial and error, failure and success, in city building and city design. ”

This chapter studies various Literature available for the Adaptive Reuse of Industrial Structures and will be helpful in understanding that how, an Adaptive Reuse buildings helps its surrounding, environment, peoples and all the other things linked to that structure. It discusses about how, Industrial Buildings are getting abandoned all over the world and what majors are taking in consideration to them and how we will implement this study in Indian context. Literature Study will be helpful in determining and carrying out various Guidelines related to Adaptive Reuse.
