When a building or a site loses its original function, it can
be rescued them from abandonment or demolition by
adapting them to a new use, specially if their architecture
is remarkable and remains in good condition, the areas
are flexible and/or the settlement is of special interest.
Monuments, from the most important to the humblest
ones, are on top of the list of these adaptive re-use
policies. Some of them are transformed into museums of
themselves, but most of them suffer a renovation based on
parameters that preserve their material values with more
or less success in order to host a new function. Still, their
intangible dimension is seldom fully understood so as to
include it into the “spirit” of the new function. If their
message is forgotten or shadowed by the revitalisation
work, can we call it “giving a new cycle of life” to those
monuments?
The aim of my proposal is to introduce these points of
debate when adapting industrial heritage buildings to
new uses, focusing on what concerns cultural and
architectural criteria.
