Architectural restoration concerns the repair, adaptation and reinterpretation of existing buildings whose cultural, historic or structural value justifies their continued use. Designers working in this field balance conservation of original fabric against the functional and regulatory demands of contemporary occupation.

Member work under this topic covers a broad range of building types and conditions, including war-damaged sites, theatres and sports venues, residences, castle complexes and historic urban districts. Recurring questions include how to reconstruct lost elements honestly, how new additions can be distinguished from original material, and how restored buildings can serve present-day communities.
