Abstract
The use of abandoned industrial buildings, perceived as part of the industrial heritage, by inserting a new, usually non-production function, is a proven form of saving them. However, the relationship between the original building substance and the new function depends in the fi rst place on the adaptability of the industrial building. What are the main principles to be maintained when saving an industrial building for new functions through the form of conversion, or more precisely adaptive reuse? What obstacles stand in the way of these proven procedures and under what conditions can the original building, which is registered in the list of immovable cultural monuments, be meaningfully adapted? The three described basic variants of work with industrial buildings - acceptance/intervention/destruction - are documented by selected regional examples.
