A city is a human creation that always experiences development. As time goes by, the development of the city sometimes does not go according to the initial plan. In Indonesia, major cities were planned and built during the Dutch colonial era, based on good planning for several decades into the future. After Indonesian independence, a lot of obstacles were faced by cities, so their development shifted away from the initial plan. This paper will describe the development of an initially residential area for Dutch society within Bandung city. Today, the area is declared as one of the cultural heritage areas, because of its history and the architectural style of the buildings. Some investors have considered the environment plan, location and unique architectural style of buildings in this area as having potential that they could profit from, so one by one the residential buildings in this area transferred into commercial ones. How does transformation occur with conservation buildings as part of a cultural heritage? What kind of revitalization can be performed to adapt to their new function? It is expected that the revitalization performed will sustain cultural heritage buildings within this conservation area.

City as a man creation is always experiencing transformation from time to time. The city center area, originating from a residence area has turned into a commercial area for trading. This transformation is recognized by the physical building change. This paper will describe building transformation in the Pasar Baru area, which is a conservation area in the city center of Bandung city, Indonesia. Colonialism left dualism of the land status in this area, formal and informal. Formal land is located on the road side shaped as row shop houses whilst the informal land lies behind the shop houses in form of urban kampong. The improvement of business and trading, demands a larger working area so space expansion is needed. The difference of land status and location makes it possible for shop house owners to expand their lot toward the kampong behind. Nowadays old shop houses as conservation buildings are hard to recognize because they have been transformed into new shop house forms. By observing the shape it’s expected that the lot expansion was the motivating factor. How did the transformation occur? Can transformation on one land lot give contribution to transformation on the city? It’s expected that the occurring transformation should not eliminate the conservation, building and area in the city center and the residential function could still be maintained.

Cities are constantly evolving from time to time which can be identified from the development of the buildings. In city centres as the embryo of the city there are still many old buildings which is part of the history and inheritance. In big cities in developing countries such as Indonesia, old building are considered old fashioned, incompatible with time, and destroying them is preferred. Generally, the buildings will be left uninhabited, not well maintained until it becomes obsolete and dangerous. Thus, for security reasons dismantling them will eventually be allowed. This paper describes the development of old buildings in the Braga corridor, an old commercial district in the city centre of Bandung. By applying adaptive reuse method, the style and shape of the shop houses are maintained, while there are some changes and additions in the inside of the shops adjusted to the new functions. Similarly, on the corridor are some changes and additions of the elements that create unique characters of the district, old buildings with modern atmosphere. Since there are many activities can be carried out in Braga corridor, the new appearance of the corridor has attracted many people and become one of the tourist destinations. By exploiting the potency of the city, adaptive reuse can be proposed as a form of technology in development while maintaining old buildings as a cultural heritage. It is expected that the intervention of the local government in the supervision and implementation of the conservation laws can preserve the authenticity and existence of heritage building as cultural heritage.
