“…This was mainly attributed to the diversity of functions that need to be accommodated and provided within the allowable space, including administrative, services and recreational spaces. These challenges were highlighted through different studies in the relevant literature (Arge, 2005;Eyüce and Eyüce, 2010;Remøy and van der Voordt, 2014;Wilkinson et al, 2014). This prompted the A/E team to define the spatial requirements, and accordingly, identify their corresponding locations and distribution in the floor plans.…”

“…Eyüce and Eyüce (2010) discussed the context of the adaptive reuse design, from the design professional perspective. The study highlighted that adaptive reuse projects entail the implementation of substantial changes in the space configuration, as reconfiguring the building layout efficiently to embody the new functional requirements is one of the key challenges in these projects.…”

“…During the planning and design phases, A/Es may experience difficulty with obtaining accurate building records, including drawings and specifications (Hein and Houck, 2008). Design wise, those professionals could face challenges in complying with new legislative requirements, as well as embodying the new function program within the layout of the existing building, owing to spatial and physical restrictions (Eyüce and Eyüce, 2010). Economically, the cost of adapting the building may increase to a large extent, especially when the building is in a deteriorated condition (Yaldiz and Asatekin, 2013).…”

Purpose This paper aims to provide architecture, engineering, construction and facilities management (AEC/FM) practitioners with a guiding tool for overcoming the challenges affecting their performance in adaptive reuse project. Design/methodology/approach Literature review was conducted to comprehend the challenges affecting the AEC/FM performance during the implementation of adaptive reuse projects. A case study was conducted on an adaptively reused building, located in Saudi Arabia. The case study building was converted from a bookstore into an amusement center. Document review of the as-built drawings, and a structured interview with the project manager were conducted. The study concluded with the development of AEC/FM practical guidelines, pertaining to the different involved domains. Findings This study indicated that the potential challenges are interrelated among the three domains. These challenges pertained to the spatial, legislative, technical, administrative and operational aspects. The findings emphasized the vital role of the integration among the AEC/FM domains, at the early project planning phases. Based on the findings, three sets of AEC/FM guidelines were developed. Research limitations/implications Theoretically, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study that provides a case-specific investigation of the challenges affecting the AEC/FM performance in adaptive reuse projects. Practical implications The developed practical guidelines could potentially enhance the AEC/FM performance in future adaptive reuse projects. Originality/value This study contributes to the practice of adaptive reuse projects through providing practical guidelines for mitigating the challenges that affect the AEC/FM performance in these projects.

“…At present, architectural and spatial research is actively conducted in the field of modeling a multidimensional, changeable, illusory and metaphorical architectural object. Silvetti [1], Eyuce [2], Ozgan Yazgan, and Akalin [3], Ivanova [4], Dutsev [5], Vytuleva [6], etc analyzed the hidden and changing meanings of architecture, metaphors and illusions in architectural morphogenesis. Technologies of digital algorithms make it possible to use self-forming and self-transforming matter, which begins to exist in its own digital quasi-space.…”

The newest architecture as an information carrier takes on fresh forms. It reflects the flow of information, fits into the environment, and interacts with the external and internal space. As a result, a new boundary area of architectural activity emerges – «quasi-architecture», which is located between architecture and art, architecture and construction, architecture and multimedia space. The purpose of the study is to consider the features of quasi-architecture and the principles of its organization. The main methods of research are logical, complex system-structural and system approaches, which allow studying this phenomenon in the aggregate and the interaction of its individual parts and classifying the features of its development. The dialectical method that includes analysis and synthesis, made it possible to identify the quasi-architecture mainstream’s patterns. The historical-genetic method showed the origins of conceptual trends. The result of the study characterizes the conceptual directions of one mainstream of the newest architecture – «quasi-architecture». Quasi-architecture reflects the imaginary space; it seems to exist and not exist, being on the verge of reality and unreality.

“…Günçe and Mısırlısoy (2019) emphasize on the reuse of buildings from the users' view and experience as an essential aspect. Thus, as a part of an architectural program, identification of users' requirements is an important issue in AR projects; and the ability to fulfill the requirements indicates the project's functional feasibility (Rockow et al , 2019; Beck, 2014; Eyüce and Eyüce, 2010). This study aims to fill this knowledge gap by proposing guidelines based on the evaluation of indicators from hotel guests' perspectives and classifying them into principal components for more user-friendly boutique hotels through a postoccupancy evaluation (POE) study.…”

PurposeIn the early 2000s, a wave of new practices concerning the adaptive reuse (AR) of historic buildings into boutique hotels began in Yazd, Iran. This study presents the findings of a postoccupancy evaluation (POE) of adaptively reused historic buildings into boutique hotels. It aims to explore and prioritize the main factors of architecture's physical aspects in the adapted buildings.Design/methodology/approachIn order to carry out a POE, hotel guests' written reviews from online international and national travel platforms were analyzed. According to this preliminary analysis, a questionnaire was designed and randomly distributed among 300 hotel guests. The data obtained from the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS software. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to reduce a set of indicators into the main components.FindingsThe findings revealed that “preliminary physical feasibility study and evaluation of building's functional potential” is the most important component with a weight of 0.709. Then, “adaptive reuse design” and “quality of building conservation” are placed with a weight of 0.232 and 0.058, respectively. The results show the mere attention of practitioners to architectural restoration rather than adapting historic buildings into boutique hotels in Yazd. Also, the lack of a specific framework for this purpose is felt in Iran.Research limitations/implicationsFuture research could evaluate the architectural aspects of historic buildings that have been converted into various functions from the main users' views.Practical implicationsThis research's main contribution is to recommend guidelines for more user-friendly boutique hotels. This includes principal components and their sub-indicators that should be considered in the AR process of historic buildings by conservators, investors and hoteliers. Also, the extracted factors can be implemented for boutique hotels' improvements in operation because they determine the order of priority from the users' viewpoint.Originality/valueThis study introduces a new application of POE in the field of conservation of heritage assets and the hospitality industry; it focuses on the evaluation of the users' feedback regarding the architectural aspects of adaptively reused historic buildings into boutique hotels based on original empirical data.
