Sustainable Future For Traditional Buildings

Conference 9.30 am-4.30 pm, 25 - 17 May 2017
Scotland East, Scotland West

The Scottish Traditional Skills Training Centre in association with Selkirk Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS) has brought together 4 leading experts to look at the basic principles and critical factors which must be addressed when identifying potential sustainable futures for a range of traditional buildings.

In recent years a number of ‘at risk’ buildings have become the subject of high profile 'Heritage Rescue' operations resulting in their successful adaptation to a range of alternative uses. For each of these ‘Success Stories’ there are many other buildings which at present face an uncertain future.

The Scottish Traditional Skills Training Centre in association with Selkirk Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme (CARS) has therefore brought together 4 leading experts to look at the basic principles and critical factors which must be addressed when identifying potential sustainable futures for a range of traditional buildings.

Kit Martin - Leading authority in securing a future for a wide range of traditional buildings

Marcus Binney - Founder of SAVE Britain’s Heritage and leading conservation campaigner

Paul Higson - Project Manager for The North East Scotland Preservation Trust

Pauline Megson - Project Development Manager with Historic Environment Scotland

The event will also include a series of brief presentations in the form of 'case studies', provided by representatives of organisations currently in the process of identifying a use for a specific building without an assured future. Each of these presentations and case studies will be followed by a Q&A session and a facilitated discussion.

The cost of the event is £35 (Heavily subsidised by Selkirk CARS) and includes buffet lunch and tea/coffee.
