Abstract:
Heritage buildings are critical in terms of convey the cultural identity for further generations.
Where heritage buildings can no longer function with its original use, proposing a new function is
inevitable in order to preserve the significance of the heritage buildingi. As we saw in Lahore many
of our heritage buildings built for some purposes which has no longer exist now. They become or
convert into an abandoned building due to multiple reasons which includes natural disaster,
conflict and war or other crises. They play an important role to its surrounding as it shows the
connection with the past. When the building became abandoned so in that scenario we have to put
a new function into the building so that its historic importance increase and keep continue towards
development. Same in the case of one of the historic building named as Bradlaugh hallii. It has an
abandoned building which has no use for last 11 years and the reason of it abundance is natural
disaster. For my thesis I selected that building and its site. Firstly, the data has been collected
through literature survey and content analysis. Then, selected adaptive reuse examples have been
investigated in the light of the defined factors. I collected all the relevant data and studied the
history. At the end, the functions has been developed according to the results.
