Join us for the Global Building Conservation Conference. This event will be invaluable for all professionals operating within the built conservation arena as we celebrate and showcase the very best of building conservation. Expert speakers from around the world will bring their unique perspective of protecting and preserving some of the most important built heritage assets for future generations.
The agenda will cover the effect that climate change has on our built heritage with a look at the devastating floods in Pakistan and innovative ways experts are working globally to protect sites, such as Hong Kong’s pioneering sustainable development that is reviving a once-abandoned rural cultural landscape. Discover how the Mughal Gardens in Agra are building resilience in sites and communities while preserving and maintaining integrity.
Hear our global experts bring these and other examples of cutting-edge practice to life, illustrating the challenges they faced, the lessons they’ve learned and the remarkable achievements they have made in building conservation including:
- The risks posed by earthquakes to heritage buildings in New Zealand.
- Philosophical and practical challenges of working with the At-Turaif District’s mud structures and ruins.
- The challenges and opportunities presented in repurposing a dangerously derelict medieval building in the heart of Galway City.
Don’t miss your opportunity to learn practical ways for building resilience into our built heritage, protecting it from the threat of climate change, terrorism, war, natural disasters, population growth and even tourism.
