The Flour Mill |
In this exploration I researched with a group different locations and meanings of adaptive reuse. The specific site that I chose was the Flour Mill in Spokane, WA, which was an actual working flour mill at one time before it was transformed into a retail space. Working within a group for this was helpful because we were all researching very similar topics but different locations; collaborating helped me see different people's perspectives. In terms of the topic we researched, it was interesting to discover that many locations in America are part of the National Historic Registry to preserve their original integrity and character. Many locations are similar in this sense. The meaning of adaptive reuse is taking an existing space and changing some aspects of it, mostly aesthetically, while maintaining the original history of the space. The Flour Mill includes many structural aspects that were there at the initiation of the building, but the use of the space is now used for shopping and dining.
