The purpose of this study is to consider the phenomenon of reutilization of historic constructions in Milan. This study focuses on the re-use of historical constructions instead of how to conserve them. To clarify the actual situation of adaptation for the new function, five policies of renovations were extracted by examining the theories for historic restoration. They are "restorative", "harmonizing", "maintaining", "contrasting", and "decorating". Through examining the architectural interventions by enlargement and modification of inner space and by updating of building equipment, this research points out the tendency and characteristic of each policy of renovation.
