FITTING INTO THE ROLE

A growing problem in many cities including Toronto is what do we do with cultural and historical buildings when they are no longer most effective in their originally intended purpose. This has caused many historical buildings in Toronto to be torn down, losing the rich cultural and historical landmarks that define a city and community. Using adaptive reuse allows architecture to connect communities to the past while also creating new functions for the future. Adaptive reuse is a sustainable option that allows for minimal waste and reduces negative environmental impacts.
