Adaptive reuse transforms buildings from one purpose to another while preserving their original character — industrial shells become galleries, factories become residences, bunkers become cultural centres. The catalogue holds 5 Adaptive reuse buildings across 4 cities.
Tate Modern in London is the landmark example: Herzog & de Meuron transformed Bankside Power Station into one of the world's most visited galleries. In Berlin, Düttmann's St. Agnes church became a gallery; ExRotaprint, a former printing works, became a cultural complex. Brandlhuber's Antivilla in Potsdam converts a lingerie factory by subtraction — punching windows out of existing walls rather than adding new ones.
