the EAAE/AEEA CONSERVATION NETWORK: review of experience
In any review of anything that exists for a purpose there are 3 (really 5) questions
what is it/ what is it for
how does it work/what has it done
what is its future

Report of the Conservation Network Workshop “Conservation/Consumption”
The 2017 General Assembly in Bordeaux was informed that the 6th Workshop of the Network would be held in A Coruna/Santiago de Compostela in September 2017, and would be hosted by CESUGA, University College. The theme of the Workshop was “Conservation/Consumption” and its focus was on a key issue affecting architectural inheritance of cultural and historical value. Read more:

WORKSHOP TOPICS
The Workshop “Conservation/Sustainable Design” aims to foster discussion
on the different levels of conflict that exist in historic cities today,
taking the Historic Centre of Porto as a starting point for broader group
discussions around the following core topics:
— HERITAGE CONSERVATION VERSUS URBAN DEVELOPMENT
The balanced integration between Heritage Conservation and Urban
Development is one of the most prominent challenges faced by historic
cities, as stated in the UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban
Landscape (2011). What are the most effective methodologies, tools
and strategies for achieving sustainable, inclusive and resilient urban
management/conservation?
— CONTEMPORARY DESIGN VERSUS PRE-EXISTING FEATURES
The relationship between “new and old” has long stood out as a critical
challenge for architectural design in historic cities, whether relating to
urban voids or pre-existing structures. Which quality principles for
architectural heritage interventions best promote the integration of
new design into pre-existing features while respecting authenticity and
cultural values?
— TRADITIONAL VERSUS INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES
While traditional solutions are generally more compatible with pre-existing
structures, they are only sometimes feasible due to the non-availability
of materials, know-how, regulation standards, etc. How may we
best foster compatible interventions and respond to the current
demands for sustainability (energy efficiency, low carbon emissions,
materials recycling, and so forth) in management, conservation and
maintenance plans?
