    Abstract
    Exploration of the architectural re-purposing of a historic building ruin with the goal of maintaining and emphasizing its current character and state of decay. Simultaneously examining how new interventions can clearly achieve modern expectations of function and enclosure, while allowing the character of the existing structure to be minimally impacted. The intervention in the historic building fabric demonstrates how new materials and construction techniques allow for a distinct contrast between old and new, and how the two can work harmoniously together. Specifically integrates new glued-laminated timber frame structure in contrast to existing concrete walls, testing a general case for the potential power of interventions and adaptive reuse to be a means to a rebirth and retelling of the stories of existing buildings.
