dc.description.abstractA well designed building responds well, to the requirement s of the particular client, which consists of the spaces compatible for the function, fulfilling functional efficiency. When the original function does not work properly work with in the building, the function may have to be removed & 'the building abundances with its context. To be given a life reutilization is essentially need to the building, as it preserves the historic & the architectural value & keep the building in a live condition in its extent. This can be done only from the meaningful adaptations. But many of those adaptations, can occur impacts on the adapted functions due to the original building spaces does not ideal answers for the latter function, specially in a highly valuable areas. This is mostly happened due to meaningless adaptations, which is a fashionable trend in today's architecture. This situation would become more critical in the future, specially in economically as well as historically & architecturally. Thus it is responsibility of the designer to think deeply about the present trend & economic adapt a new criteria for adaptation of buildings in the future which would help to get enhance the efficiency from the function without a conflict.
