July 26, 2024

Principal Pina Petricone speaks at the AMPS Conference, Urban Futures — Cultural Pasts: Sustainable Cities, Cultures & Crafts, held at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, July 15 — 17, 2024. Her session, “A Question of Character: Instruments for Longevity in Repurposed Heritage Structures,” presents a strategy for ensuring longevity in retrofitted heritage structures that looks beyond building performance to resilience in reuse and durability in character.

“As societal needs change, repurposing historic buildings becomes a delicate balance between honoring their heritage, and adapting them to meet contemporary demands. The richness of a layered city depends on the recycling of historic buildings to nourish its evolving society, and longevity of such heritage structures depends on a critical material and design strategy.” - Pina Petricone
