Tendencias de las rehabilitaciones contemporáneas de edificios en España: evaluación de su práctica en el nuevo milenio basada en transformaciones funcionales

Abstract

The paper analyses building rehabilitations, a topic that came into the foreground all over Europe in the last decade, from the perspective of functional transformations. The focus area of the research is Spain, where the number of internationally published contemporary interventions on historic buildings is especially high that allows the systemization and the detection of tendencies. The investigation concentrates on the characteristics of functional changes, analyses the transformations of historic functions and the frequency of new functions installed through rehabilitation. The tendencies also illustrated by diagrams are based on a collection of approximately 500 building rehabilitations presented in internationally known publications. The detection of these trends not only facilitates the evaluation and systematization of interventions but also provides patterns for new rehabilitations.
