Re:purpose Team Framtidsminne

Important results from the project

The project achieved its goals by developing and testing a value-based model for building transformation. The model was applied in a real case study and demonstrates how architectural and cultural qualities can be identified and further developed. The project also highlighted how planning and building regulations influence sustainable transformation.

Expected long term effects

In the long term, the project can contribute to more sustainable transformation practices by promoting informed reuse instead of demolition. The model supports early-stage decision-making by identifying existing values and development potential. If widely adopted, it can reduce climate impact and strengthen the integration of cultural, architectural and environmental goals in the built environment.

Approach and implementation

The project was carried out in two phases: analysis and method development, followed by practical application in a case study. An iterative approach with expert seminars and collaboration with a property owner ensured both theoretical depth and real-world testing. The project followed the planned timeline and structure.
