Modern Heritage
Projects that adapt, conserve, and extend twentieth-century modernist buildings and houses for contemporary use.
Modern heritage refers to buildings from the modernist period that are valued for their architectural, cultural, or social significance and are now being conserved or adapted. Designers working in this area balance the preservation of original materials and spatial logic with the functional and environmental demands of current users.
Member work under this topic includes the renovation of a Porto duplex, a family house in Wimbledon Village, a residence in Kingswood, and the conservation of Khulna Divisional Library in Bangladesh. Together these examples show how architects approach heritage conservation across both domestic and public buildings.
