1.1 INTRODUCTION
In era of globalization now, all the building must be sustain and adapt with suitable condition at particular place, community and time. The adaptive reuse of pre-war building should have minimal impact on the heritage significant of the pre-war building and it setting. Developers should gain an understanding of why the building has heritage status and then pursue development that is sympathetic to the building to give it a new purpose.

Adaptive reuse means by use back for latest communities to reach the environmental sustainability. To decrease, reuse and recycle waste as aiming and from bottles and boxes to clothes, vehicles and buildings we find new life.
