After built structures become disused or abandoned, adaptive reuse can be the perfect way to breathe new life into an old building, while conserving resources and historic value.

With this in mind, here are some examples of creative adaptive reuse projects, each of which utilizes an old structure to create a revitalized form in its own distinct way.
