The Commonwealth Association of Architects is pleased to launch a pilot programme of lectures for built environment professionals, the aim of which is to facilitate knowledge exchange between member organisations and member firms, to help promote mutual understanding and greater awareness of issues related to climate change and rapid urbanisation together with the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

While targeted at qualified built environment professionals, it is hoped that this series will be of interest to policymakers, city leaders and students alike.

As the world embarks upon a Decade of Action in which to achieve the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the Commonwealth Association of Architects has recognised an opportunity to provide mutual support by means of a structured programme of knowledge exchange in the form of a pilot CPD series and, with nearly 50% of the projected increase in the world’s urban population to 2050 forecast to be in the Commonwealth, architects and built environment professionals have a critical role to play in helping to achieve a more sustainable future for all.

This webinar is the sixth in the series and will be delivered by Geoff Rich, Managing partner at Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios. Perhaps one of the most effective ways of achieving sustainable urbanisation is to make better use of our existing assets and what better way to do this than through the adaptive re-use of our existing building stock. Drawing on the experiences gained from a recently completed project Myanmar, Geoff will demonstrate how the creative re-use of heritage buildings, can be used as a means of generating economic value, creating employment and preserving traditional skills while reinforcing cultural identity and a sense of place.
