Architectural conservation is a process that
retains the authentic built form of old buildings
through restoration. In doing so, it serves as an
aid in the preservation of buildings.
Architectural conservation is particularly
impacted by two main aspects, cultural and
historical.
• The cultural aspect involves the
conservation of cultural heritage buildings
in tandem with consideration of the local
customs of an area.
• The historical aspect involves the
conservation of well-known historical
buildings and also considers changes made
over time in building conservation, such as
technological advancements and new
materials.

In order to properly conserve historical buildings and
architecture it is important to have a team of architects at
hand that understand how to process historic building
surveys, putting together investigations of buildings and
looking in-depth at the materials required to build the
structure, as well as the remedial specification. In many
cases historic buildings that are classified as listed can only
be renovated and refurbished in very specific ways, using
certain processes and materials in order to preserve its
status and legitimacy as a listed building

Each story is unique, but with the correct approach from a


specialist architectural conservation team the processes
behind any work on historical buildings are sound and are
employed to consistent high standards that meet strict
legislation and requirements. There are many different
factors at play when it comes to restoring or renovating
historic buildings, art galleries, museums, and other
structures of historical and architectural importance.

• Heritage gives us a sense of identity
It’s not just about saving buildings made of bricks and mortar, it’s about
saving the layers and layers of information about our ancestors and
where we are from. Without heritage, there would not be any family
history or a culture to identify with!

• Heritage sites contribute to our cultural and economic well-being


The heritage sites help us understand our own ancient culture. Heritage
tourism is huge and helps drive the economy of several communities.
This also helps people from other parts of the world understand and
learn from our culture.
Preserving heritage sites thus help sustain the local economy, creating
jobs, and even generating capital.

• Regret only goes one way
The preservation of historic sites is a one-way-street. Once, it’s gone,
there is no chance of saving them. This brings to light the importance of
locating and preserving a building of historic significance because once
a piece of history is lost, it is lost forever.

• Heritage designations boost property values


Contrary to the conventional wisdom that the designation ties the hands
of owners interested in redevelopment, a historical specification sets
properties apart.
