Dwelling in historical atmospheres

The practice of converting existing buildings from one use to another is almost as old as building itself as their structure tends to outlive their function. Our living environments are composed of different spatial scales and levels and among these interiors are much more subject to change as they are closely linked to ways of living. On the other hand interiors hold the most important clues to maintain the aura of the original functions and characteristics of heritage buildings. This paper aims to draw attention to the relation between the interior, function and memory.
