One of the key challenges facing heritage buildings in the UK is finding the balance between preservation and modern functionality. Historic England and Cadw stress the significance of safeguarding the historical integrity of these structures. However, incorporating modern amenities like heating, insulation, and accessibility can sometimes create a conflict between heritage values and practical requirements. Architects and conservationists are increasingly challenged to find solutions that honor both history and current needs. A completely vapour permeable approach is considered optimal in addressing these challenges. Properties constructed towards the late 19th Century often utilised cementitious materials, making the application of materials like lime render in renovations more intricate compared to buildings constructed with natural materials initially. This iconic Victorian half-timbered town centre building in the UK illustrated below, features large overhanging roofs that have effectively protected the external wall fabric over time. The primary issues we uncovered stemmed from blocked gutters and inadequate maintenance by previous owners. #HeritageBuildings #Preservation #Architects #Conservationists #HistoricIntegrity #ModernAmenities

However, navigating the complexities of historic preservation requires a delicate balance between honoring the past and meeting the present needs. #HistoricBuildingPreservation #CommercialConstruction https://lnkd.in/eWGCgTt5

Traditions are often what has proven to work. This is especially true for architecture and city planning. Rather than die uselessly on the soulless hill of modernism in the name of creativity and innovation, why not find other places for them in order to strike a balance? The Aesthetic City covers why traditional architecture and urbanism works so well even today in this video.

Getting to know Nicolas Leo Charbonneau and the work of Harrison Design is encouraging--a sign of renewal for architecture in the public square. Hopefully, classical schools can play a leading role in that renewal by learning to build beautifully--in cooperation with skilled architects who are drawing upon a rich and vibrant tradition. What examples of architectural beauty have you witnessed lately? https://lnkd.in/gzw2fm5g

Biophilia connects us to place and landscape. We also know that place and landscape are both cornerstones of our Indigenous Australian culture. It raises an important question as to whether biophilic design can meaningfully connect the built environment to the world’s oldest living culture. Bunji Place, designed by fjmt Architects, is a community and arts building located in Narre Warren in suburban Melbourne. It explores this question specifically, through the use of many biophilic principles as well as the project's naming after Bunjil the Creator. The architects used a grand woven timber structure, with a sense of flow and movement, as the entry to the building. A generous gesture, enhancing light and a feeling of connectedness to the outside. The natural materiality and its formal reference to a wedge-tailed eagle have a direct relationship with the natural world and our indigenous history. Do you think that biophilia is a tool we can use in design to better tell the stories of our Indigenous history? #AustralianDesign #TheArcAgencyAU #NetworkingEvents #AustralianArchitecture #ArchitectureCommunity
