ABSTRACT Two key benefits of building retention and adaptation, over demolition and new build are identified in the academic literature as: the conservation of heritage, and reductions in embodied greenhouse gas emissions from construction materials. A four-year research project, including expert interviews, focus groups and three detailed case studies, developed extensive data on how these benefits are considered in decisions to demolish or retain buildings within larger urban development sites. The research found that heritage and embodied impacts are considered quite differently. Heritage is frequently a key driver towards retaining individual buildings, whilstembodied emissions are rarely key considerations. Where there are insufficient arguments based on heritage value, many buildings are therefore demolished and replaced rather than retained. To reduce the impact of construction on the environment it is crucial that we calculate the embodied as well as operational impacts of demolition decisions and retain and refurbish buildings where this is the lower carbon choice. Using heritage arguments as a basis, this paper proposes that the introduction of policy drivers for retention and against demolition, and the conversion of environmental value into economic uplift, are likely to be necessary conditions to encourage the retention of buildings for lower whole life carbon.

ABSTRACT The mid-twentieth century was a period of architectural idealism and rapid technological innovation paired with unprecedented growth in construction and built square footage. As design movements became global and mechanical systems evolved to provide ready access to heating and cooling, buildings became less climate responsive and more energy intensive to operate. Architecture of this time also celebrated structural innovation and novel materials, which led to frequent integration of structure, envelope, and systems. These characteristics resulted in a building stock with typically poor energy efficiency and new material challenges for conservation. Rather than a justification to tear down these buildings and replace them, their vast numbers and significant contributions to global greenhouse gas emissions are reasons why mid-century buildings must be effectively repurposed to meet climate goals while respecting their history. With the imperative to limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius, reusing and upgrading these buildings provides a critical near-term carbon reduction strategy. This paper presents two case studies involving the reuse of undergraduate residence halls of this era. The first illustrates the substantial total carbon savings from restoration and reuse. The second proposes an analysis-based methodology for designing retrofits that optimize carbon payback of targeted interventions.

ABSTRACT Significant energy and carbon originate in the existing built environment and retrofit is therefore a key carbon reduction strategy. However heritage buildings -comprising around 20% of UK buildings- are challenging to retrofit appropriately due to their historical values and traditional construction. Retrofit carbon savings are dependent on current energy use which is strongly influenced by residents’ behaviours, and retrofit decisions for domestic heritage are generally the responsibility of homeowners. Therefore both residents’ views and behaviours are important for effective retrofit strategies. However behaviours are rarely considered in standard energy models and residents’ views are often overlooked in heritage retrofit policy. This paper analyses a survey of the views, values and behaviours of 147 residents of pre-1940 buildings. The majority are found to strongly value their homes’ heritage and mainly view exterior building alterations negatively. However residents’ heritage values and acceptable retrofits, frequently differ from those of experts and policy makers. Residents report actively engaging in several positive energy behaviours and many have already undertaken common carbon saving measures. These findings imply that, for effective carbon reduction from heritage buildings, policy and legislation needs to extend beyond current definitions of ‘heritage’ and acknowledge residents’ complex values, motivations and energy behaviours.

ABSTRACT Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk is used to provide a case study of what wallpaper analysis can tell us about the history and development of interiors and the current status of methods, sources, collections and limitations of wallpaper analysis in the UK. Wallpaper might be described as a kind of ‘vertical archaeology’ offering insight into layers of historical decoration of rooms and buildings. The history of wallpaper has tended to be marginalised in the study of historic interiors and decorative wall surfaces, partly because it is often lost from its original location. This paper considers the major British collections that can be used for investigating wallpapers, highlighting in particular the use of the Cowtan Order Books at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

ABSTRACT The North Shore Congregation Israel complex was designed by modernist architect Minoru Yamasaki and completed in 1964. Yamasaki's notable work includes the Pacific Science Center (1962), World Trade Center (1971), and many other significant large scale projects. North Shore Congregation Israel exemplifies his early work, which included low-rise modernist structures with decorative concrete facades. Yamasaki was very interested in the design potential of precast and cast in place concrete and the materials versatility as both a structural and decorative material, as illustrated in this complex. After several decades, spalling was observed along the edge of the architectural precast concrete panels. Previously installed concrete patch repairs were visually apparent and many were no longer serviceable. Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. was engaged to perform an assessment of the existing architectural precast concrete, document the extent and types of distress, and develop repair documents. The paper will describe and illustrate the process of developing concrete repairs for North Shore Congregation Israel, including an overview of the assessment process and development of repair details, concrete cleaning procedures to address soiling and biological growth present on the building, and concrete mix design and finishing procedures to blend the repairs with the existing concrete.

ABSTRACT This article contributes to the debate on modern architectural heritage by emphasizing the values-based context of conservation. Considering the abstractness of the concepts and the clarity of realities, the paper tries to introduce the uncertainty of the valuation phase for the conservation of modern architectural heritage by presenting a remarkable case study: The Headquarters Building of the Turkish Republic (T.R.) 17th Regional Directorate of Highways Complex, Istanbul. Designed by Mehmet Konuralp in 1973, the Headquarters, as one of the first skyscrapers in Istanbul presenting the basic qualities of modernism, was listed as an architectural asset in 2004 based on its art-design, artistic-technical, social, and symbolic values. However, it fell victim to a series of decisions taken by administrative authorities on the grounds that the attributed values are not worth protecting. Through a comprehensive analysis of the Headquarters, this study intends to demonstrate the incomplete understandings of modern architectural heritage and its values, as well as to present a discussion concerning similar cases at risk. As a concluding remark, the existing values-based approach of conservation for the modern architectural heritage calls into question and some initial possibilities are proposed to raise awareness.

ABSTRACT The UNESCO 2011 Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) states community participation is an essential tool to elicit values attributed by diverse stakeholders in built heritage, to better prioritise actions based on public interests and needs. Traditional value elicitation often takes place in an expert-driven process following value typology frameworks, which is, however, widely criticised under the self-examination and reflection within built heritage protection and management. Therefore, it is still not adequately explored how values of built heritage can be identified through a process-led methodology of inclusive public participation. Using the method of a systematic literature review, this paper collected and analysed documents published between 2010 and 2020, from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. The findings show that process-led value elicitation has been widely discussed and applied within the international practices of built heritage management, as five main themes are synthesised in this paper. This review could be inspiring and pioneering in the field of international built heritage management, pushing methodological changes to focus more on the use and significance of heritage in local residents and their living experiences.

ABSTRACT The Mandala Agung at Puri Ahimsa displays the concept of ‘Architecture being non-architectural’ yet it remains based on Balinese culture. This paper reveals the forms of local traditions in the lay-out and preservation of these buildings in a qualitative-descriptive manner. The Balinese physical-social value system is revealed through sense-purpose-essence-awareness. The lay-out of Puri Ahimsa signifies Cosmic Balance through the harmonious relations between humans, God, and nature. Architecturally, Mandala Agung is a synthesis of the rice cone form and the openness of Balinese traditional pavilions (wantilan), applying the Cosmic Balance through space in forming harmonious relationships. Singling out the roof as the divine realm, the inner space is regarded as a human realm (Tri Loka concept). The semi-circular space with the doors in opposite directions signifies the balance of opposing forces. Natural balance and the Tri Hita Karana philosophy are maintained in the Puri Ahimsa lay-out. The shape and the openness of the wantilan are adapted to the Mandala Agung architecture, while the Nawa Sanga concept is adapted to the eight main pillars and the sky-light roof. Tri Hita Karana is maintained in the inner space, and the philosophy of Desa Kala Patra is concretised through its uniqueness for today’s activities.

ABSTRACT The Centennial Hall in Wroclaw is a pioneering example of early twentieth century modern architecture and engineering. The construction of its reinforced concrete dome, the largest then built, was a daring initiative which, just for its extraordinary nature, used the most advanced technology of its time. Of particular compositional beauty, this work is equipped with innovative structural qualities, evidently linked to the very nature of reinforced concrete, capable of molding itself in any architectural form. The history of its construction and the reasons that led to its cataloging on the Unesco list, as a priceless cultural heritage, are an important example of the transitory evolution of the concept of ‘cultural heritage’, aimed at incorporating works which, in the past, struggled to be considered assets to be protected. Through this article we want to describe those architectural and technological and landscape peculiarities that have made the Centennial Hall a masterpiece of man’s creative genius; as well as an extraordinary example of composition that has become the spokesperson for one of the most relevant and suggestive phases of the history of world architecture.

ABSTRACT With the relocation of the former International Export Company 4 years ago, its building group, which includes not only the earliest existing modern food industry buildings imported from Western countries but also the earliest large-scale reinforced concrete buildings in good condition domestically, has now ceased the functions of food processing and cold storage since first establishment in 1912. This earliest foreign-funded factory with a history of over 100 years in Nanjing will be transformed into a landmark complex integrating commerce, culture and tourism according to the requirements of regional development. As a main member of the design team, as well as a participant in the project ‘Research on reinforced concrete building protection technology in early modern China’ supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China, I have the ability to provide a comprehensive evaluation and research on this industrial architectural heritage from the different perspectives of architectural history and regeneration in this paper. Given the significance of this historic building group in modern China, this research will fill a gap in relevant historical study, offering a typical case study of modern industrial buildings and their utilization in China.
