Abstract
This is a study on adaptive use both as a concept
and as a functioning form of architectural practice. The
primary vehicle for the discussion of adaptive use has
been the historic urban marketplace. Of the markets
selected for discussion, the Faneuil Hall Markets of Boston ,
Massachusetts and the Pike Place Markets of Seattle, Washington
have been emphasized.
iii
The analysis of the historic urban marketplace was
directed toward three primary concerns; societal (community
needs) , operational (function), and architectural (Physical
elements). The investigation utilized both primary and secondary
information. Data was obtained from existing literature
sources as well as from visiting the actual market
sites. The study determined that it is possible for adaptive
use projects to be accomplished with respect for the historic
fabric of the market and its facilities.
