AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: As cities across the world grapple with the complex challenges of balancing heritage conservation with modern development needs, the practice of Adaptive Reuse has gained prominence. Rooted in the idea of repurposing existing buildings for new functions, Adaptive Reuse serves as a sustainable alternative to new construction, especially in the context of resource conservation and urban densification. Berlin, a city with a rich architectural past and complex history, stands as a prime example of how Adaptive Reuse can breathe new life into existing buildings without erasing their historical significance. This thesis aims to delve deep into the multifaceted concept of Adaptive Reuse with a focus on preserving intangible heritage values. Using Roxy Palast, a cultural landmark in Berlin, as a case study, the research explores various Adaptive Reuse strategies that can maintain the essence of the structure while ensuring its functional relevance in today's world.
