Buildings have different service lives that can vary according to their manufactural material. Nonetheless, this period of time may change depending on usage, maintenance-repair conditions, and preservation. Historic buildings are also among the most important cultural assets that should be preserved. Some buildings, although still standing without being damaged, are sometimes not able to sustain their old function. In such cases, adaptive reuse of these buildings is of great importance in terms of economic, social, and environmental sustainability. In this study, while addressing the points to take into consideration during adaptive reuse, the transformation of industrial buildings into “Loft” type residences in the USA, that reached the present day from the industrial revolution is also analyzed with examples.
