Heritage Skills Association Series: Dar Studios
Join us for the first talk in the Heritage Skills Association Series.
This talk will explore a simple yet powerful idea: that heritage is fundamentally about respect.
Using the Lindsay Street Flour Mill and Bakery Complex as a case study, the talk explores the challenges and opportunities involved in conserving one of Perth’s significant heritage places. Through project stories, challenges, and lessons learned, the presentation examines how heritage value is understood beyond personal taste or subjective opinion, and instead through evidence, cultural significance, material authenticity, and respect for place.
Attendees will gain insight into a thoughtful and technically grounded approach to conservation practice, while also engaging with broader questions around the Architect’s role within places that belong to a much longer story than ourselves.
