Retrofit Meets is an in person series of panel events bringing together experts in the built environment. These are held in the seminar suites of the Building Centre. Organised thematically, panellists will discuss their latest research and completed or on going projects, some of which are displayed in the Retrofit 24 exhibition. These discussions will present the aims, challenges and outcomes of each project. The event format will also allow for dialogue between the panellists offering our attendees new insights into retrofit. We encourage audience participation during the Q&A portion of the evening and look forward to meeting you there.
This session chaired by Mark Hosea of the Old Royal Naval College and will bring together experts who will detail their experience of retrofitting heritage buildings. Mark is joined by Alex McCallion from York Minster, Tom Billington of Oculus Management, Alex Scott-Whitby of ScottWhitbyStudio and Laura Baron of Purcell.
The topic; the challenge of treading the line between acknowledging the historical significance of our heritage buildings whilst, recognising the need to bring these buildings into the 21st century and adapt them for modern use.
The panellists have considerable expertise where they have been met with this challenge, time and again. Join us for this session where the panellists will discuss the skills shortage specific to the heritage sector (i.e. masonry and stain glass workers), limited funds, the difference in aims among those who work on these buildings and the leadership needed when it comes to retrofitting heritage estates. With a view to getting closer to resolving the above issues and answering ‘what happens next?’ in this session, the panellists will detail how the heritage sector can, and has been quietly leading the charge on reuse.
