What if adaptive reuse could do more than preserve buildings? This session offers a fresh framework for using reuse to drive resilience, community impact, and long-term value. Participants will explore how reuse can respond to evolving needs across physical, social, and cultural contexts, and how design decisions can extend the life and relevance of existing assets. Through a moderated discussion, the session will highlight practical strategies for aligning design with performance goals, community priorities, and future flexibility. Attendees will also gain insight into how integrated teams and emerging professionals are shaping more responsive, collaborative, and forward-looking design practice.
