10 March 2022 - 13:00 - 14:30
Part of Conservation in Common, a cross-disciplinary series of events for professionals working in the built heritage sector
Talk hosted by the Royal Society of Ulster Architects
This session will explore the social, economic, environmental and cultural value of 20th century buildings and discuss some of the typical technical challenges of conserving these relatively modern buildings. The expert speakers will use cases studies and draw on research to help shed light on many of the issues that will increasingly be faced by clients, developers and conservation professionals over the next decade.
