Conservation and heritage: How do we give new life to old buildings?

Talk

Tuesday 20 October 2020
10:00 - 11:00

This webinar will hear about exemplar projects in London that have been transformed and given a new life.

London is an ever-changing city, not afraid to reinvent its places to accommodate new needs and respond to the challenges posed by growth. The result is the unique combination of old and new, a feature that defines London’s identity.

This webinar brings together architects, conservation specialists and built environment professionals to discuss the conservation of historic places and buildings and the value of preservation for the future of London – celebrating heritage in a growing and fast-changing city.
