The IHBC has just produced its first update in its new Conservation Wiki on the ‘Designing Buildings Wiki’ website, the free cross-disciplinary knowledge base for the construction industry, as the institute uses this innovative resource to extend its reach to mainstream development practitioners of all disciplines.
IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘We have already had lots of positive feedback on our Conservation Wiki initiative, and it is great to see our first news update on this exciting platform out.’
‘These first updates range from our own recent innovations on partnering with archaeology’s professional body CIfA, as we offer free reciprocal membership, to a fascinating review of restoration work at Kew written up by a former winner of our celebrated annual Student Award, Aimée Felton, now at Donald Insall Associates.
‘We know that this service is already introducing the IHBC to many new stakeholders, unaware of our work, as well as prospective new members. And of course you can also join in the development of content by contributing your own, so please help develop this impressive resource by joining in our Conservation Wiki world!’
‘And do also be sure to sign up for Designing Buildings Wiki’s exciting news updates and email alerts, so you can keep in touch with what’s going on there, as well as see what the IHBC is saying to the wider development world!’
