On this episode of Eco Echo, host Nil Kıran sits down with Kerem Cevani to explore the power of adaptive reuse—breathing new life into historic buildings instead of tearing them down. From the Tate Modern in London to Salt Galata in Istanbul and New York’s High Line, they dive into how old structures can be transformed into vibrant cultural hubs while cutting carbon emissions, reducing waste, and preserving community identity.
