Six case studies will be presented spotlighting the creative re-use of heritage infrastructure by architects, designers and developers.

From historic buildings and modernist architecture to unexpected transformations and the revitalisation of urban spaces, these six case studies explore the possibilities of working with what we already have. Discover how creative thinking, adaptive reuse and thoughtful design can preserve the character of our cities, reduce waste and bring new life to familiar places. Through a variety of projects and fresh perspectives, the presentations invite us to reconsider the value of our existing built environment and imagine what it could become.
