Abstract
Offices are important in providing efficient and continuous product development in busy time conditions in daily life. The most important factor affecting productivity in the working environment is the ergonomic arrangement of the functional spaces. Since it directly affects the health, psychology, and work efficiency of the employee, it is necessary to create efficient and comfortable environments by arranging the physical conditions in the work areas according to ergonomic elements. Creating healthy working environments can be achieved with ergonomic design and ergonomic products. In light of all this, it is one of the most critical issues today to consider adaptive reuse in work environment design. Sustainability and continuity of indoor ecologies are essential for the world's ecosystem. Within the scope of the study, adaptive reuse in work environments will be emphasized, and the aim will be to present new suggestions with student studies by analyzing examples. In this study, it has been demonstrated that by utilizing the information derived from re-functionality strategies and design criteria applied in shared offices, it is possible to create flexible office environments with features such as changeability, transformability, growth, adaptability, mobility, sustainability, and interactivity. These features contribute positively to working efficiency and performance, ensuring that office spaces remain relevant and functional as user needs evolve. Integrating such design principles fosters an environment that supports individual and collaborative work while responding to the dynamic nature of modern work practices.

Abstract
Günlük yaşamda yoğun çalışma koşulları altında verimli ve sürekli ürün geliştirilmesi açısından ofisler önemli bir yere sahiptir. Çalışma ortamında verimliliği etkileyen en önemli faktör, alanların ergonomik düzenlenmesidir. Çalışanın sağlığını, psikolojisini ve iş verimliliğini doğrudan etkilediği için, çalışma alanlarındaki fiziksel koşulların ergonomik unsurlara göre düzenlenerek verimli ve konforlu ortamlar oluşturması gerekmektedir. Sağlıklı çalışma ortamlarının oluşturulması, ergonomik tasarım ve ergonomik ürünlerle mümkün olabilir. Tüm bunların ışığında, çalışma ortamı tasarımında uyarlanabilir yeniden kullanımı göz önünde bulundurmak günümüzün en kritik konularından biridir. Dünyanın ekosistemi için sürdürülebilirlik ve iç mekân ekolojilerinin devamlılığı hayati önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, çalışma ortamlarındaki uyarlanabilir yeniden işlevlendirme konusu ele alınarak örneklerin analiz edilmesi ve öğrenci çalışmalarıyla yeni önerilerin sunulması sağlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, paylaşımlı ofislerde uygulanan yeniden işlevsellik stratejileri ve tasarım kriterlerinden elde edilen bilgiler kullanılarak, değişebilirlik, dönüştürülebilirlik, büyüme, uyarlanabilirlik, mobilite, sürdürülebilirlik ve etkileşim gibi özelliklere sahip esnek ofis ortamları yaratmanın mümkün olduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu özellikler, çalışma verimliliğine ve performansına olumlu katkıda bulunarak, ofis alanlarının kullanıcı ihtiyaçları değiştikçe alakalı ve işlevsel kalmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu tür tasarım ilkelerinin entegrasyonu, modern çalışma uygulamalarının dinamik doğasına yanıt verirken hem bireysel hem de işbirlikçi çalışmayı destekleyen bir ortamı teşvik etmektedir.
