okay I want to begin by asking you a simple question so if any of you if any
simple question so if any of you if any
simple question so if any of you if any of y’all have ever seen this building
of y’all have ever seen this building
of y’all have ever seen this building before or know of incredible universe
before or know of incredible universe
before or know of incredible universe could you raise your hand okay so the
could you raise your hand okay so the

reason I mentioned this is actually
reason I mentioned this is actually because the build of the building you
because the build of the building you
because the build of the building you see behind me is actually the same
see behind me is actually the same
see behind me is actually the same building that you’re in right now this
building that you’re in right now this
building that you’re in right now this building I should underwent a process
building I should underwent a process
building I should underwent a process known as this building actually
known as this building actually
known as this building actually underwent a process known as adaptive
underwent a process known as adaptive
underwent a process known as adaptive reuse and now what adaptive reuse is it
reuse and now what adaptive reuse is it
reuse and now what adaptive reuse is it is it is a process where a building the

pre-existing building undergoes
pre-existing building undergoes repurposing in order to fit a new
repurposing in order to fit a new
repurposing in order to fit a new function and and this building is an

adaptive reuse is the fact that it helps
adaptive reuse is the fact that it helps the environment the way it does is is
the environment the way it does is is
the environment the way it does is is first it helps it helps conserve

making us design your buildings and
making us design your buildings and create them but another way that it does
create them but another way that it does
create them but another way that it does this is another way that an actor does
this is another way that an actor does
this is another way that an actor does this is that you know another way that
this is that you know another way that
this is that you know another way that it does is that it helps slow the spread
it does is that it helps slow the spread
it does is that it helps slow the spread of urban areas and so I have some
of urban areas and so I have some
of urban areas and so I have some examples here of how urban areas are
examples here of how urban areas are
examples here of how urban areas are spreading in the past 32 years here you
spreading in the past 32 years here you
spreading in the past 32 years here you can see you can see Houston in 1980 84
can see you can see Houston in 1980 84
can see you can see Houston in 1980 84 here you see Houston in 2016 this is Las
here you see Houston in 2016 this is Las
here you see Houston in 2016 this is Las Vegas in 1984 Las Vegas in 2016 Dubai in
Vegas in 1984 Las Vegas in 2016 Dubai in
Vegas in 1984 Las Vegas in 2016 Dubai in 1984 Dubai in 2016 so what this shows is
1984 Dubai in 2016 so what this shows is
1984 Dubai in 2016 so what this shows is that urban areas are going at a rapid
that urban areas are going at a rapid
that urban areas are going at a rapid rate in just the past 32 years and what
rate in just the past 32 years and what
rate in just the past 32 years and what adaptive reuse does is it slows this
adaptive reuse does is it slows this
adaptive reuse does is it slows this process by instead of just leaving
process by instead of just leaving
process by instead of just leaving unused buildings unused and filling up
unused buildings unused and filling up
unused buildings unused and filling up space and crew and spreading urban areas
space and crew and spreading urban areas
space and crew and spreading urban areas by creating new buildings it takes those
by creating new buildings it takes those
by creating new buildings it takes those unused buildings and it gives and it
unused buildings and it gives and it
unused buildings and it gives and it gives them a new purpose and
gives them a new purpose and
gives them a new purpose and and thus new buildings don’t have to be
and thus new buildings don’t have to be
and thus new buildings don’t have to be graded as quickly but adapter for us
graded as quickly but adapter for us
graded as quickly but adapter for us also runs into problems and it runs into
