Abstract: Historic buildings maintain the local characteristics and preserve the culture and history of a country. It is mainly through conservation of heritage buildings that we can pass on currently identified cultural significance to future generations. Adaptive Reuse is an effective way to preserve building heritage, especially when the building is no longer able to function its original purpose. In the pursuit of sustainable development, adaptive reuse holds different dimensions of sustainability. The aim of this study is to investigate the viability of adaptive reuse application to historic buildings as an approach to achieve .Sustainable Heritage. In this regard in this paper, an attempt has been made to explore adaptive reuse with .sustainability through literature review. After that, the case study of Asian Heritage Row located in Doraisami Street and Jalan Yap Ah Shak, Kuala Lumpur has been used for the hypothesis testing. The variable measured as parameters in achieving .sustainability are categorized into cultural, aesthetically, .and human comfort. Data collections were obtained from case study, survey questionnaires at Asia Heritage Row and literature review. The associations between variables are examined by correlation. The findings of this research have presented facts that the successful adaptive reuses of historical buildings hold .value approach. It preserves the heritage significance of a building, ensures its sustainability, and generates the building into a .interaction place. By the means of adaptive reuse, the .life of the inhabitants in historical buildings at Kuala Lumpur can be preserved sustainably in the end and passed on to future generations. Keywords: Adaptive Reuse, .Sustainability, Sustainable Preservation, Built Heritage, Architecture, Historic Building
The main discussion set forth in this paper is about conservation issues and historical buildings. This paper attempts to give an overall view on conservation works by illustrating with building examples. Afterward this paper aims to evaluate the feasibility of the historical building after adaptive reuse process. The investigation is focused in Kuala Lumpur since it has a rich architecture legacy. The purpose of exploring Kuala Lumpur architecture is to determine how adaptive reuse is contributing to a more historically and culturally sustainable architecture and society. Case study, observations, literature and surveys are made in order to assemble facts and data regarding the feasibility of these heritage buildings after adaptive reuse approaches. This paper will present facts if adaptive reuse concept is relevant in making our heritage building workable in the present demand.
Historic buildings maintain the local characteristics and preserve the culture and history of a country. This historical and cultural significances as a legacy can be passed to next generation by conserving the historical buildings. Nowadays in the process of conservation, Adaptive Reuse Practice has been necessary, especially when historical buildings are no longer functioning its original purpose. Moreover, adaptive reuse holds different dimensions of sustainability that of economic, environmental and social. In the pursuit of the sustainable development, social sustainability has been the new parameter to investigate the viability of adaptive reuse. In this regard an attempt has been made as a main objective to investigate the viability of adaptive reuse and its social sustainability. Asia Heritage Row located in Doraisami Street and Jalan Yap Ah Shak, Kuala Lumpur is used for the hypothesis testing. The variables that are measured as parameters in achieving social sustainability are categorized into cultural, aesthetical, social and human comfort. The data is mainly collected from literature review, case study and questionnaires distributed to the users of the case study area. The data is analyzed by determining the statically reliable relationship between adaptive reuse and social sustainability parameters. The associations between variables are examined by correlation. The result show's that adaptive reuse of Asia Heritage Row Building not only have a social value but preserves the heritage significances as a place of social interaction and also ensures its sustainability. Hope this study would be worthwhile for those who are intending to know or carry out research about the socio-sustainability of readapted heritage buildings in future.

Assessment of Adaptive Reuse Practices of Built Heritage Situated at Mall Road, Lahore, PakistanCultural heritage buildings play an effectual role in transferring cultural values to future generations as they are a significant source of sustainability in maintaining the cultural heritage. With the passage of time, these historical buildings have lost their actual character and aesthetic value. The only way to retain the position of these historical buildings is by following Adaptive Reuse as a particular method to sustain the traditional and cultural heritage of the colonial buildings situated at Mall road. This method proved to be helpful in preserving the heritage buildings when they start losing their originality. The reuse of buildings and adapting buildings for some other functions has become a growing trend now a days. As the revival of these buildings have not only minimized the construction, storage, and energy consumption by using adaptive reuse techniques, but it has also provided a sustainable ecosystem. The current research identified the need to understand the n...

Adaptive reuse: an innovative approach for generating sustainable values for historic buildings in developing countries2018 •
Sustainable development has become a goal for all countries seeking a balance between social, environmental and economic needs. The principal vision of a sustainable built future is about developing creative designs that utilize energy and materials effectively. However, this vision should consider historic buildings that were built centuries ago. Although many of these buildings are standing in a stable state, they are obsolete and their values are not fully utilized. Towards revitalizing and generating sustainable values of these buildings, adaptive reuse is adopted as a process of modifying, adapting and reusing obsolete buildings with their existing structures to extend their life cycle whilst performing a new function. This is currently practiced worldwide, specifically when a building has a unique architectural character and is in a stable condition. The adaptive reuse of a historic building should have minimal impact on the heritage significance of the building and its se...

Because of the remarkable interest in preserving the architectural heritage of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the emergence of multiple models of adaptively reused heritage buildings in the historic Jeddah area, it is necessary to ensure their correct usage, periodic evaluation, and sustainability. This study develops a model for evaluating the adaptive reuse of historical buildings to preserve their integrity and originality. It adopts a qualitative approach and analyzes references and charters, as well as classifications and methodologies associated with the adaptive use of heritage buildings. The model consists of two main axes. The first includes the basic information on the building, and the second includes elements and criteria for reuse, restoration, and repair, as well as intangible elements of the cultural heritage that can improve people’s livelihoods. It was judged by five architectural heritage specialists in the region to ensure comprehensiveness. This study will draw ...

Adaptive Reuse Heritage Buildings Addressing Sustainability Potentials: Analytical Case Studies in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates2021 •
Due to the rapid growth and development worldwide, nations tend to preserve their historic sites that represent their heritage. The adaptive reuse strategy is used to help communities maintain their own local identity and culture. The adaptive reuse terminology is used interchangeably with terms such as renovation, refurbishment and rehabilitation. However, this study will distinguish each term based on a framework discussed in the literature. The research aims to determine the additional value added when the potentials of three pillars of sustainability are considered in the adaptive reuse heritage buildings. Two case studies, namely The Chedi Al Bait hotel and the Sharjah Art Foundation (SAF) in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates (UAE), are selected on the basis of their historical significance and unfitness. The sustainability potentials inherited in each case will be assessed and analyzed. Based on the analytical studies, it is concluded that the local government in the UAE as decisi...
The Many Faces of the Far Right in the Post-Communist Space: A Comparative Study of Far-Right Movements and Identity in the Region
Far Right, Revolution and Symbols in Ukraine2022 •
By virtue of their active and visible participation in the Revolution of Dignity and in repulsing Russian aggression, far-right groups received wide public legitimacy. However, they were unable to convert the social capital gained into electoral support. Moreover, the popularity of ultra-right political parties has fallen several times compared to the times of Viktor Yanukovych’s presidency. At the same time, once exclusively ultra-right symbols and slogans have become widespread, and concern about protecting national identity has become a noticeable part of the mainstream political agenda. It seems that this did not happen due to success of far-right propaganda. As we saw above, the voice of the far-right movement is almost inaudible. In the case of the dissemination of nationalist symbols, slogans, and memorable dates, we deal not with the popularization of the ultra-right discourse, but with a kind of cultural appropriation of the symbolic language. Using the phrase “Glory to Ukraine!” or even “Glory to the nation!” no longer means, as it did ten years ago, a xenophobic anti democratic ethno-nationalist position. Simultaneously and independently of this process of “appropriation” of the (ex-) far-right symbolic language, a significant shift to the right of the entire political spectrum took place. The parties that positioned themselves as “leftists” left the political scene altogether. They were partly discredited by the support of the pro Russian irredentist movement, and partly they could not withstand state pressure in the framework of the process of “decommunization”. Political parties, positioning themselves as pro-European, liberal or national-democratic, turned to such topics as the protection and strengthening of the state role of the Ukrainian language, the formation of an independent Orthodox Church, etc. However, these changes, even at a stretch, cannot be associated with the influence of far-right propaganda. The nationalism of the political mainstream continues to be civic and inclusive. The unprecedented level of support (73% of the vote) that an ethnic Jewish presidential candidate received in 2019 is just one example of the inclusiveness of the concept of nation that dominates Ukrainian society. The fact that, after becoming president, this ethnic Jew quite organically began to use the slogan “Glory to Ukraine!” in the appropriate context illustrates what unexpected metamorphoses the far-right symbolic repertoire can experience in the complex Ukrainian context.
