Delaram Art & Design

With time, everything experiences wear and tear including buildings. Oftentimes, these magnificent structures fall into disrepair due to lack of use, funds or relevance to current cultures. However, a recent increase in interest in a rising architectural approach called, ‘adaptive reuse’ has seen many attempts at reviving such dying facets of former glory as witnessed in the images below. 

Scroll below for a gallery of creatively transformed buildings that give these structures a second-life, having been repurposed into useful avenues of income or providing much needed relief for low-income neighbourhoods. It’s amazing to see how some people view the world and bring to life their vision. Their ability to see potential in an otherwise worthless, irrelevant or derelict building is truly inspiring to say the least.
