Each building is designed to meet the needs of the period in which it was built. As time changes, needs change and some structures may become unable to meet needs. In this case, instead of demolishing the buildings and building new ones, re-functioning our values, having historical aspects, and incorporating them into life is a sustainable method for transferring the buildings to future generations.
