Abstract

The sustainability of the building industry and the increasing demand for new buildings creates an opportunity where materiality and adaptability of the build environment needs to be reassessed in order to answer to the following issues. The research paper delves into the subject of adaptability in the built environment and checks the influence of materiality on such topics. The research scope touches on spatial adaptability in addition to the high-rise oriented case study where mass-timber buildings with potential of altering its function in the future. The result of the research will provide a quantifiable score of spatial adaptability for each case study that will indicate the degree of spatial adaptability.
