The dramatic increase in world’s population and economic growth triggered a higher demand for natural resources and increased carbon emissions (Krausmann, et al., 2009) to which the construction industry is one of the most important contributors (McKenna, 2022). Since 80 percent of the predicted building stock for 2050 is already in existence today (Blanco, Engel, Imhorst, Ribeirinho, & Sjödin, 2021) , reuse and adaptation strategies for existing assets are a fundamental part of any approach related to more sustainable construction. Although the reuse and adaptation of building elements and the recycling of materials are not new ideas (Addis, 2006), there is a gap in theoretical knowledge of reuse of architectural elements. In this contribu...
