The SPAB Ireland theme for 2023 is centred on re-use of historic buildings, with a particular focus on the inextricable link of built heritage conservation and environmental sustainability.

This lecture will offer an exploration of the S.P.A.B’s core values and their relevance to appropriate adaptive reuse of our vacant built heritage, to include; philosophical approach to works, craft skills and local materials.

Drawing on experience gained on the S.P.A.B Scholarship in 2022, Sinéad will discuss a range of case studies to demonstrate a diversity of approaches undertaken to achieve delightful results.
