Fred Scott’s tenet is that ‘there is no such thing as conservation’ not because there isn’t, or the need for it, but because it should fundamentally underpin our architectural thought process and design response. As such there should be no need for a separate discipline.

Could it develop a new approach to understanding how historic properties can develop a newly imagined or continued sense of place ?
We joined in a lunchtime conversation to respond to the challenge of mainstreaming conservation in architectural education.
