Abstract This study calls the existing regeneration strategies in the revitalization of modern architecture into question and emphasizes the importance of giving new values such as spatial utilization and improvement of collectivity according to the demands of consumers. The existing ways of preserving and utilizing historical space aimed at stimulating curiosity use form and architectural style that differ from modern space. The modern space has been made into a viewing spectacle rather than for utilization purposes. However, various spaces with modern values are now recognized as historical heritages, which has led to various discussions about its use, and expanded various spatial experiments that recycle a space by presenting it with new values. At present, the discussion on space regeneration has developed considerably; the use of modern and present age buildings is being dominated by the conversion of industrial heritage over artistic and cultural spaces. Attempts at complex spatialization are relatively insufficient including daily functions such as residential and work related. The Boerentoren revitalization is an experiment on how buildings with historical value can contribute to urban collectivity and community formation; rather than being occupied by specific subjects, its purpose is to make buildings work in urban functions within the urban context. Utilization of these resources is an effective way to strengthen the city's community, and can be seen as the realization of sustainability that regenerates the city's idle and symbolic space.
