    Summary

    Architects can create more flexible designs by using the planning/program/design model for reuse and reconfiguration projects. This approach enhances design alternatives for existing structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Architecture and Urban Planning
    • Building Science
    • Sustainable Design

    Background:

    • Traditional architectural design often lacks flexibility for reuse and reconfiguration.
    • Existing building stock presents challenges for adaptation and modernization.
    • The need for sustainable practices emphasizes extending building lifecycles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the planning/program/design model in facilitating architectural reuse and reconfiguration.
    • To identify how this model influences the generation of flexible design alternatives.
    • To demonstrate the benefits of a structured approach for adapting existing buildings.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized the planning/program/design model framework.
    • Analyzed case studies of reuse and reconfiguration projects.
    • Documented the design alternatives generated through the model's application.

    Main Results:

    • The planning/program/design model yielded new and more flexible design alternatives.
    • Architects experienced increased options for adapting existing structures.
    • The model facilitated a systematic approach to complex reconfiguration challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • The planning/program/design model is a valuable tool for enhancing design flexibility in reuse and reconfiguration.
    • Adoption of this model can lead to more innovative and sustainable architectural solutions.
    • This approach supports the efficient adaptation of buildings for contemporary needs.
