This article seeks to explore adaptive reuse as a form of connection between the preservation of architectural and urban heritage and the sustainability of the built environment. Reuse in architecture can make the use of spaces more effective while preserving memory, as new life is given to buildings that have potential for use. Furthermore, bringing new function to an underutilized or disused historic building means avoiding complete demolition and less need for construction. Historic buildings represent much more than simply a physical construction, but also something that brings identity and character to the city and serves as a witness to the history of the place. Adaptive reuse is considered a preservation strategy; however it is only effective if it brings social fruition to the building. In this study, the category of reuse represents a new way of conceiving architecture in the 21st century. In this context, we discuss the reasons that make the reuse of architecture and urban ambience a viable alternative, in many cases, for the sustainable preservation of heritage and for the best use of a potential built environment. The criteria that make adaptive reuse an effective strategy for both environmental sustainability and heritage preservation are also presented and discussed. To be considered sustainable, adaptive reuse must preserve the historical value of the building and, at the same time, holistically bring social, economic and environmental advantages to it.

The Modern Movement has demonstrated its long term legitimacy, as a concept endowed with an extraordinary and lasting longevity. Either way, it becomes increasingly important to acknowledge and value this heritage, in order to enable a skilled, informed and enlightened intervention. Such matters as materials and technology reuse, spatial and functional transformations as well as updating legislation, are part of the contemporary agenda. Knowing that many modern architects sought new heights of functionality and changeability, the challenge for today is how to deal with the heritage in relation to its continuously changing context, physical, economic and functional, as well as socio-cultural, political and scientific. I consider that the reuse project is starting to “make history” and I share the idea that heritage transforms itself with us. Therefore, modern architecture can be a resource that asks for our attention in terms of quality, economy and sustainability.

Today, past the halfway mark in the first quarter of the 21st century, we are challenged by a number of coincidental global agendas: the exhaustion of the key non-renewable material and energy resources which industrialised and developing countries currently depend on; recognition of the relationship between the burning of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions and global warming (‘climate change’); and the agenda of sustainable development, articulated in the 1987 Brundtland Report, affirmed at the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit, and reinforced in the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The International LDE Heritage Conference 2019 on Heritage and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) took place from 26 to 28 November 2019 at TU Delft, in the Netherlands. The conference examined the theories, methodologies and practices of heritage and SDGs. The conference was organized in collaboration with the TU Delft, the LDE Center for Global Heritage and Development (CGHD), heritage researchers at the three partner universities of Leiden, Delft and Rotterdam and with other consortium and international partners.

https://www.ijert.org/sustainability-and-heritage-buildings https://www.ijert.org/research/sustainability-and-heritage-buildings-IJERTV2IS80508.pdf` In recent years a worldwide rise in environmental concerns has placed sustainability at the forefront of the political agenda. Many governments have introduced policies for conserving energy, increasing renewable energy sources while reducing carbon emissions. Within the stock of existing buildings are those buildings that have been identified by their communities as being heritage buildings. Where heritage buildings suffer from weaknesses in green building performance which can be corrected through the rehabilitation process. This paper discusses the opportunities and issues related to the rehabilitation of heritage buildings to be sustainable and green. it also explores the potential synergies between heritage preservation and sustainable development. Through theoretical analysis and case study examples the paper illustrates how the most suitable intervention can be done in ways that respect the heritage value of the buildings and how it is related to the degree of intervention that is carried out to achieve sustainable conservation.

The article aims at reflecting upon the potentiality of heritage in state of abandonment with regards to large industrial complexes in urban and suburban settings. Indeed, if promotion and preservation strategies appear as the most embraceable towards the conservation of the asset, the current research focuses on alternative strategies, helpful in framing new potential scenarios and intervention guidelines rarely tested in the past. About this, some case study and national as well as international realities have been studied; there, abandonment and mere conservation with no re-functionalization or modification of the architectural components have been preferred to intervention. Against this background, the essay investigates the paradoxical opportunity of not operating on a heritage to achieve its very conservation, implicitly accepting time-related decay and adopting the strategy of minimal intervention on the walls and within the overall conservation strategies.
