Appreciating the old, incorporating the new
A recent survey by Historic England revealed that 99.3% of people in England live less than a mile from a listed heritage asset, while the Heritage Lottery Fund reports that 80% of people think local heritage makes their area a better place to live, showing both a proliferation of and appreciation for heritage sites and historic buildings.
Such sites represent an opportunity for creative design and inventive practical solutions for change, made more successful through a process of understanding the development and significance of these places and identifying potential challenges.
This seminar will include:
- Assessing the significance of places
- Heritage legislation and planning
- Adapting historic buildings for new uses
- Extensions and new builds within heritage context
- Practical solutions to issues such as M&E, accessibility and sustainability
The first session will look at how understanding historic development and significance of built fabric and setting can inform change, leading to a discussion on what practical solutions can contribute to successful design.
This is followed by a workshop session, focusing on understanding the application of this process, asking you to break into groups and looking at a practical example, providing the baseline understanding of a site and asking for suggestions on sensitive but creative change. The results will be shared and discussed. The final session will conclude by showing good examples of successful projects within a heritage context.
