Normative Criteria for Relevant Evaluation
recording best practices
creates a flexible regulatory environment towards adaptive-reuse, that allows for project specific solutions
Adaptive heritage reuse relies on unique solutions depending on the specific heritage site and its social, cultural, environmental, and economic context. These unique solutions can emerge in a regulatory context that is flexible enough to allow some negotiation and thus, offers some space for experimenting. Legislation and the related governance and institutional system provide such an environment if they do not focus on heritage conservation per se but are based on an integrative approach considering heritage in the context of planning, so conservation through development.
