Description
To improve the adaptability of buildings, it is essential to have a comprehensive framework that encompasses a range of strategies tailored to each segment and element of a building’s lifecycle. This ranges from the initial selection of materials to the design phase, through maintenance and renovation to the end of the building’s useful life. The central research question is the methodology by which adaptability can be increased. In response, this study proposes a strategic framework designed to be integrated into the architectural design process.
This framework consists of a set of criteria that serve as a strategic guide for the application of adaptability principles to building design. By adopting this structured approach, the research aims to operationalize adaptability in the built environment, ensuring that buildings can evolve in response to changing requirements over time, while retaining their functional and structural integrity.
