Heritage HIIT 02: Assessing and managing significance
Heritage HIIT 03: Conservation in action - traditional materials and trades
Heritage HIIT 04: Showcasing heritage - design case studies

 

Overview

In this third of our Heritage HIIT Sessions, we will examine the stuff of conservation - traditional materials and trades. Covering both 19th and 20th Century building typologies this session is a mix of the pragmatic and theoretical, assisting you to bridge the gap between the generalist and specialist aspects of heritage practice from initial analysis to documentation and delivery on site. 

Looking through the lens of traditional materials and trades experienced conservation practitioners Peter Lovell, Jason Pruszinski, David Bridgeman and Jean Rice bring you examples of conservation in action. We will explore and highlight particular materials used and processes engaged to achieve required conservation outcomes, and our expert presenters will breakdown the essentials of research and analysis. How to identify a structure's style and period, correct photographic and other documentation processes, when to reverse unsympathetic elements, and ways to define the threshold for deferring to a heritage or other specialist expert are all explored through a set of fascinating and significant project examples.
