In this second Aberdeen Heritage Lecture of 2021, Simon will talk about the process of recording historic buildings and how different methodologies and approaches are used at HES for the greater understanding of our ever changing built environment. It will look at a variety of survey methodologies from the rapid assessments for the Buildings at Risk Register to the in depth detailed measured survey demanded by some of Scotland’s most complex buildings.
