dc.description.abstract"This research compiles the existing practices for converting above-ground parking garages into other uses, namely residential, by gathering data on completed projects. An analysis of case studies identifies the architectonic solutions implemented in response to the inherent challenges of parking structures, such as integrating building services, differing requirements in load-bearing capacity, acoustic insulation, ceiling height, and natural daylight throughout the interior, among others. By outlining the practical and aesthetical solutions, these projects can be made more attractive to developers by demonstrating methods for cost-efficient renovation and documenting successful outcomes that generate a substantial return on investment while increasing the value of the respective neighbourhood. The data compiled by this research may inspire future architects and developers to tackle such projects, revitalizing city centres by transforming outdated infrastructure and thus contributing to the decline of automobile travel. Compiling the various methods can also shed light on certain tactics that are more sustainable or cost-effective, enabling better informed decisions and increasing the potential for development beyond the narrow purview of luxury housing."en
