Substantial weight should be given to the value of using suitable brownfield land in our cities to help meet identified housing needs.

The benefits are tangible and clear to see. Solving man made issues whilst providing ecological and environmental betterment - just need engagement by all sectors . Well done EPG .

Learn about the benefits of working with a heritage construction specialist in this article by Modern Building Services magazine. Featuring Nu Construction, the article also explores the complexities associated with the renovation of listed buildings. https://ow.ly/C3jJ50Tfgim #Heritage #Construction #ListedBuilding

The field of landscape architecture needs to address the moral and ethical implications of the projects we take on. Historically our field has been complicit in the displacement of communities of color through highway construction, urban renewal projects, and redlining. And these mistakes carry forward to the current day. From years long construction projects causing the failure of large and small businesses along 16th Street, large suburbian gentrification projects in Aurora, and creating a Larimer Square that is unaffordable to nearly everyone but the wealthy, we must ask ourselves what role we play in the destruction of our city. 

Undertaking a historical building project is a sensitive endeavor. At WhiteSpace Architects, we take the responsibility very seriously. With every adaptive reuse historic project, we aim to conserve resources and historic value, while prolonging a building's life with a modern approach. Our restoration of Bishop Bank was no different. We have more adaptive reuse projects for historical buildings in the works. Stay tuned to learn more about them! #adaptivereuse #historicbuildings #hawaiihistory

Can any of you help answer this question? England's national #planning policy #NPPF doesn't strongly encourage the re-use of existing #buildings. Scotland and Wales seem to be doing better... But what about other countries? Do you know of national or local planning policies (outside the UK) that are effective at encouraging the re-use / re-purposing of existing buildings, rather than demolition and re-build? Grateful for any suggestions... #CircularEconomy #ZeroCarbon #architecture #policy Carmelo Ignaccolo, Dr Erin Gill, CEnv MEI MCIM, Finn Williams, Helen Pineo, Idoia Postigo Fuentes, Louise Wyman, Stefano Quaglia

What about the land? 🌳 In this interview, Ed, an Associate at PRP Architects, discusses the importance of preserving the land and trees on which the new hospice will sit and how this has influenced the overall design of the building. More on St Ann's new hospice here: https://buff.ly/3yv3rIQ

At PPA, we determine the age of historic buildings so you don’t have to. “We have worked with the Residential and Character Team at PPA on a number of occasions to assist with determining the age of a building in the Traditional Building Character Overlay. The meticulous research and analysis of historical information from a range of sources has been instrumental in providing accurate information in relation to the age of the building, and subsequent additions, which has assisted in determining the extent of partial demolition which may be supported or the merit of pursing full demolition.” Tim Black - @black_developments #propertyprojectsaustralia #propertyprofessionals #propertyconsultant #townplanning #propertydevelopments #queenslandproperty #architects #brisbanearchitects

The #architecturaldesign of this #building is interesting, to say the least.
