Intersections of Now and Then ; Implementation of Adaptive Reuse as Catalyst of Space Transformation

Nowadays it is commonly recognized that low carbon emissions is one of the main element contributing sustainable urban development and effectively dealing with climate changes that are becoming ever so common. As a form of sustainable urban regeneration, we place before you adaptive reuse of buildings as one of interesting and attractive ways to extends the building's life and avoid demolition waste. Through inspiring reuse of the embodied energy in now dilapidated buildings, we are providing significant social and economic benefits to the society. This study revolves around city of Zagreb, a Central European city that is characterised by a regular block pattern that prevails through city venerable core. One of important facts regarding this core is its contrast of liveable buildings, and almost fairy- tale like dilapidated ones. These forgotten buildings are potential catalyst of space transformation, through conservation of built heritage. While exploring the realm of public space we form cognitive in our minds cognitive maps, which at the end of the day form cognitive city / cities. Every day we collect different information and implement them in our existing cognitive maps. This intersections of now and then have a function of some kind of alarm clock. They awaken our mind toward being more aware of our surroundings. Through graphic analyses and literature review of elements that contribute to the goal of sustainable development in the conservation of built heritage, we give you series of different scenarios that could contribute sustainability and be testimony of resilience of place.
