Abstract:

Large monuments, such as churches, chapels, seminaries, military defence buildings, factories, water towers, schools, and hospitals, often loose their function. Unoccupied monuments deteriorate. As a result, the cultural–historical value of the monument is at stake. There are several options for unoccupied monuments, or monuments that are on the verge of becoming vacant. An important, and often preferred option, is re-allocation. This option can take many forms. In this article an overview is given of factors leading to success and failure in the re-allocation of large monuments. Based on the Dutch experience, a model for the re-allocation as process management is elaborated. This model implies a ‘step-wise’ programme for re-allocation. The ten steps of the model are described and suggestions are given for local authorities to manage the process.
