Program Hybrid as a Model of Sustainable Preservation

Abstract

Problem Statement In the debate on the sustainable protection of the city, the idea of constructing "a city over the city" is the basis of all urban interventions today. In this context, interventions on architectural heritage are an integral principle of urban projects. Transformations are a compromise between preserving existing ones and creating new forms, a compromise that adheres professionalism and the wider public of the users. Purpose of Study The transformation is in correlation with the change of social reality. When existing typologies lose their primary meaning, they are getting transformed (case of conversion of objects). In this process, the form-function relationship is abandoned and it enters an architectural research in the field of transformative typologies that would respond to the contemporary human needs. Methods The transformation influenced by the changing social conditions is imminent. Hence, the architectural research in the field of programmatically integrated objects represents the concept of program and space transcription of conventional modernist paradigms expressed through appropriate typologies. The prefix "trans" is justified by its orientation to the future, as it linguistically shows the terms that are compiled (transmuted, transfigured, transformed, etc.). Findings and Results The new programmatically integrated architectural concept through disparate programs should achieve a formal transcription of modernist autopoiesis and achieve social cohesion of different types of users.
