Course Objective

Although it is preferred that historical buildings be conserved with their initial uses, the changing social and living conditions from time to time make this impossible and they may be considered with their secondary use. The scope of the course is to examine samples of buildings considered with their secondary use and to discuss criteria in assigning uses.The suitability of the new function to the building in different contexts and the success of the restoration are discussed.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Ability to define the reasons necessitating the re-functionalization of historical structures.
2   Ability to explain the approaches towards defining the new functions of historical structures.
3   Ability to explain the elements affecting the re-functionalization of historical structures.
4   Ability to compare the examples of the structures equipped with the same unique function but considered on basis of different functions.
5   Ability to discuss the compatibility of the new function with the unique function and structure.
6   Ability to communicate a research about a refunctionalized historical building in visual, written and oral form using up-to-date technology. .
