So how much should planners and architects know about historic buildings? Can you tell Georgian domestic architecture from Victorian? One of our #CPD sessions at AMS Planning talks about the (sometimes) subtle differences that are obvious when you know. What do you think? (HBOs aren’t allowed to take part…they might get it wrong!) #heritage #georgianarchitecture #victorian No cheating by looking up my YouTube channel video on this subject!

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

2024 World Architecture Day takes place annually on the first Monday of October in parallel with the United Nations' (UN) World Habitat Day.  The International Union of Architects (UIA) announces the theme: "Empowering the Next Generation in Participatory Urban Design". World Architecture Day was created by the UIA in 1985, intended "to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat." The idea was simple: the goal was "to reflect on the state of our towns and cities and the basic right of all to adequate shelter. It is also intended to remind the world of its collective responsibility for the future of the human habitat."

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

Role of historic preservation in modern architecture and planning: Historic preservation in modern architecture and planning safeguards cultural heritage, fosters sustainability through adaptive reuse, and enhances urban identity. It integrates historical context with contemporary design, ensuring architectural integrity and continuity. This approach promotes economic vitality, environmental conservation, and community engagement, harmonizing past and present urban landscapes.

What is the role of historic preservation in modern architecture and urban planning? How do we balance the need to conserve cultural heritage with the demand for new development, especially in urban areas? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the integration of traditional architectural elements within contemporary designs and how these can coexist harmoniously in our cities.
