What are practices of reuse?

As global challenges evolve, the built environment must also develop. The role of adaptive reuse practitioners involves anticipating and shaping these changes by modifying and repurposing existing structures, instead of demolishing and rebuilding. MA Interior Architecture: Practices of Reuse prepares you for this critical role by equipping you with the knowledge, methods, and skills to base your future practice of reuse on.

As part of this course, you'll:

  • Build a critical approach to the reuse of existing buildings, infrastructure, and places, positioning design as a tool for transformation within social, material, and ecological contexts
  • Become competent in the reuse project process, carefully considering every phase from initial assessment and design, to construction, completion, and beyond
  • Develop your understanding of building regulations and legalities, and how these affect adaptive reuse projects
  • Study the theories and histories of buildings, the architecture industry, and the variety of reuse practices
  • Gain strong interpersonal skills and the ability to understand and lead a wide range of professionals, including designers, conservationists, historians, surveyors, engineers, and more
  • Learn how to engage effectively with external stakeholders, such as local authorities and communities
  • Foster a curious mindset, questioning and identifying design problems, and navigating specific reuse challenges
