Abstract
The chapter explores the multiple meanings and implications of integrated building adaptation and its role in the retention and re-creation of heritage values and sense of place. The interdependence between built and natural environment, as well as the building and urban dimension, is discussed to highlight its relationship with adaptive reuse and temporary appropriation. These concepts are further analysed to appreciate how New Zealand’s cultural plurality enriches the understanding of cultural heritage and the approaches related to the adaptation of the built environment. If, on one side, New Zealand was built through architectural concepts and urban practices strongly inspired by Western models, on the other side, the country is now experiencing the emergence of new architectural languages, which are becoming more relevant in addressing existing buildings and historic heritage. In this regard, the contribution discusses how contemporary architecture in New Zealand is conveying cultural, environmental and social values, especially in the adaptive reuse of existing and historic buildings, in the attempt of establishing a new dialogue between tradition and innovation that could overcome temporality and extend the concept of appropriation of space.
