Hannah Lewi and Cameron Logan - Adapt!
About
6pm for 6.30pm Wednesday 18th MarchLaunched by Ashley Dunn.
Adapt! Designing New Lives for Old Buildings showcases design and practice-based approaches to the sustainable, adaptive reuse of historic places.
Building on their extensive research in the field, authors Hannah Lewi and Cameron Logan have engaged with a range of leading architects and heritage practitioners to gain firsthand insights into their methods and experiences with the delicate and complex task of creating contemporary spaces from highly valued, but timeworn, buildings.
The book’s authors will be joined by architect Ashley Dunn of DunnHillam to discuss the financial, environmental and policy challenges that confront architects and their heritage consultants when they take on adaptive architectural projects.
Associate Professor Cameron Logan is an urban and architectural historian in the Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning. He leads the Histories of Architecture and Built Environment group (HABEg) and convenes the School's Masters program in Heritage Conservation. His work focuses on the cultural and political processes that shape which buildings come to be regarded as representative and worthy of protection.
Professor Hannah Lewi's areas of expertise are in architectural design, history and theory. Her research interests include Australian and modern history, heritage and place-making, and the innovative use of new media in heritage and history. Prof Lewi currently teaches 19th- and 20th-century history and design; architecture, heritage and urban theory; research methods; workplace internships.
