We believe in the preservation of historic buildings as a form of respect, understanding and also remembrance that architecture has come a long way through the efforts of art, science and design, put together. Historic buildings are a continuation of their designers’ essences, therefore, its renovation, rehabilitation and preservation should constitute for the balance that is evoked from their classic original designs to interpretations.

Adaptive reuse in architecture sheds light on the statement of ‘waste not, want not.’ Replacing the old structures with entirely constructions may cause wastage of energy and resources, thus intelligent renovations on aged buildings although expensive, however usually economical than demolishing and constructing from scratch, preserves the originality and legacy of the building as well as securing the environment around it.

There is a story to be told from the old to the new, historic preservation in architecture does just that.
