Adaptive Reuse precedent study






I have found some amazing precedent studies which work perfectly with the theories I am working with, as well as the atmosphere I am aiming to create:) This particular project was an adaptive reuse competition compiled by the Amsterdam City Council where two sewerage treatment silos had to be redesigned. The proposal which was done by NL Architects was to create a centre which is dedicated to sport, culture and climbing.

The existing structures were extended to the maximum height to enhance the 360 degree roof top views from the restaurant. The one silo has been dedicated to a variety of cultural events while the other incorporated a 40 meter climbing wall with other functions such as a hotel, public cafe, training facility etc. It was interesting to see that the facade has integrated the concept of programming climbers in order to portray an active facade.
