The restoration of a building’s and a city’s historic fabric, is commonly seen as the job of architectural, building and conservation professionals. What is often kept ‘behind the scenes’ are the thinking and the working process that takes place between the planners, professionals and the owners. Another aspect that is often overlooked, is the impact that such restoration work has on the wider community. This impact is often in terms of the ‘softer’ outcomes of conservation: the protection of past values, a relevance for today, and the creation of shared memories for tomorrow. Collectively, the outcome of conservation processes and work on the fabric and use of our heritage buildings can impact on an individual’s and a community’s self-image and the sense of time and place.

The restoration of a building’s and a city’s historic fabric, is commonly seen as the job of architectural, building and conservation professionals. What is often kept ‘behind the scenes’ are the thinking and the working process that takes place between the planners, professionals and the owners.

Another aspect that is often overlooked, is the impact that such restoration work has on the wider community. This impact is often in terms of the ‘softer’ outcomes of conservation: the protection of past values, a relevance for today, and the creation of shared memories for tomorrow.

Collectively, the outcome of conservation processes and work on the fabric and use of our heritage buildings can impact on an individual’s and a community’s self-image and the sense of time and place.

This seminar is an opportunity to share on the roles, responsibilities and possibilities thrown up through the conservation processes in restoring our heritage buildings for now and the future.
