Abstract

RESEARCH QUESTION: Can adaptive reuse, as an architectural tool, be used effectively to transform Victoria Park Market within the urban redevelopment context? Adaptive reuse is a tool for retaining an architectural object from demolition, preserving its historical value. On the other hand, it can be perceived as a process of ‘building evolution’ to fit with the urban environment where it is located. Using Victoria Park Market in Freeman’s Bay and reinforced by the ‘organic’ approach, I have investigated how a particular heritage building can organically grow and transform, responding to social needs and urban redevelopment. The idea of ‘organic’ was developed in the way the building transforms within the urban context and the building programme proposed for the transformation. The research consists of two components - a writing component, which explores the knowledge of adaptive reuse, organic architecture and description of the existing site and proposed programme, and a design component, which demonstrates the possibilities of building transformation through the adaptive reuse process.
