INCORPORATION OF CULTURAL FUNCTIONS IN ARCHITECTURAL ADAPTATION FROM TRADITIONAL HISTORIC BUILDINGS INTO ART GALLERIES IN SKOPJE, N. MACEDONIA
ABSTRACT
Architectural adaptation and reuse of historic buildings is a process of changing the original function of the historic buildings to another function that can optimize the use of existing historic buildings. Historic buildings contribute to the character and vitality of the cities. They need to be conserved or adaptively reused in order to form the cultural heritage of tomorrow. Architects have a responsibility to future generations to enrich and preserve the historical buildings, to understand the significance of a place and respond to it. Adaptation projects link the past to the present and project into the future. Heritage items are a response to their cultural, social, historical, political, economic and physical environments. Adaptation or reuse offers new uses for historical buildings. The new use needs to be compatible with the building, retain its historic character, but it can still introduce new services, as well as modifications and additions. Specific attention in this research will be given to historic buildings that will have adaptation and reuse in order to efficiently have architectural space distribution in an art gallery context. Priority should be given to the halls with permanent and temporary art collections, collection repositories and adequate public access and architectural space. Preservation of the collection following, a group of demands associated with the preventive preservation of collections, which are equally important, though with more rigorous solutions demanding higher conciliation levels among architects, restorers and art gallery executives: climate conditions, capacity of the architectural space, light conditions, fire control aesthetic and energy-efficiency issues, that will be examined. This research is conducted to gather and evaluate the conditions of the applied architectural adaptation and re-use principles in selected cultural heritage buildings in Skopje. This research has started with an inventory that led to the discovery of the applied principle of adaptive re-use of historic buildings Daut Pasha hammam and Cifte hammam, which had been adapted in art galleries in Skopje, Macedonia. Results of the case studies carried out showed that the level of architectural conservation of heritage objects is moderate and measures of control should be taken to ensure the privileges of the cultural heritage building. As a result of this research, a number of suggestions are made to ensure that adaptive re-use work in the future needs to be conducted according to the adaptive re-use and conservation principles
