Architecture interplay plays a crucial role in adaptive reuse as it involves the transformation and modification of an existing building into a new functional space. Adaptive reuse essentially involves the modification and alteration of the existing building structure to accommodate new uses, spaces or functions.
The interplay of architecture refers to the relationship between the existing building structure and the new modifications that are being undertaken. In other words, it involves the integration of the existing building's architectural elements with the new design elements, to create a harmonious and functional space.
The architecture interplay helps to identify the key elements of the existing building structure that need to be preserved and incorporated into the new design, and those that need to be modified. This may include the structural system, building materials, spatial configuration, and other architectural features.
A successful adaptive reuse project requires careful consideration of the architecture interplay, to ensure that the new design effectively integrates with the existing structure, while also meeting the functional and aesthetic requirements of the new space. The interplay of architecture helps to ensure that the final design reflects the history and context of the existing building, while also creating a new and unique space that meets the needs of the modern user.
