Preserving the Past, Shaping the Future: Whats ahead for our Historic Buildings
View from Chester Cathedral
We recently attended the IHBC North-West conference in Chester, where the focus was on sustainable intervention for historic buildings. The event provided a valuable platform to discuss and look at case study projects and analyse real-world outcomes. The conference also shed light on the industry's forward momentum in ensuring the sustainability of historic buildings, and conversation about changes in Legislation to assist their long-term viability.
One of the conference's primary themes emphasised the significance of collaboration among stakeholders. By working together, a successful team can develop sustainable solutions that not only cater to the unique needs of each building, but also prioritise the well-being of its occupants, improving the usability and longevity of our historic assets.
It was evident from the day that a growing group of professionals in the field of historic building conservation are truly committed to sustainable intervention. The discussions and debates that unfolded have the potential to shape the future of sustainable practices in preserving these building assets and it was great to be part of it, creating a valuable network of consultants to collaborate with.
