Modern Atrium Applied in the Adaptive Reuse of Old Building

Article Preview

Abstract:

The atrium space is widely found in nearly all types of architecture. In the twenty-first century, some of our values and objectives are being focused on ideas of the adaptive reuse of old building and sustainability. By selecting several cases allowing adaptive reuse of historic buildings into contemporary icons, this paper analyzes the strategies of applying atrium in the adaptive reuse of old building through the section of space and energy conservation, demonstrates the great potential that the atrium has to offer in this area. The conclusions show the “integrated design process” and sustainability can be attributed to successful execution of atria designs in the adaptive reuse.
