Heritage in Transition: Skills and Approaches for

Heritage in Transition: Skills and Approaches for Sustainability
A dynamic one -day ICOMOS-UK symposium hosted by the University of Liverpool and supported the Institute of Historic Building Conservation
We explored how we can adapt and retrofit heritage buildings to meet today’s energy, comfort, and affordability needs — all while preserving their cultural significance.
What new skills do we need?
What approaches must evolve?
How can sustainability and heritage go hand-in-hand?
An inspiring mix of voices — from architects and conservationists to academics and policymakers — came together to reflect, share, and challenge.
We were honoured to be welcomed by senior leaders from @livuni and the President and Secretary General of @icomosuk. The day concluded with reception drinks and a heritage walking tour through Liverpool’s layered urban landscape.

ICOMOS-UK, in partnership with the University of Liverpool, invites you to a one-day symposium exploring the evolving relationship between heritage preservation and sustainability. The event will focus on how we can sustainably adapt and retrofit heritage buildings to improve energy efficiency, enhance thermal comfort, and meet affordability needs while preserving their heritage values. What skills and approaches will we need to do this? What might we need to do differently?

Whether you are an architect, engineer, conservation specialist, policymaker, academic, or student, this symposium offers practical insights and innovative strategies for embedding sustainability in heritage conservation.
The event is kindly supported by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC).

GUEST LECTURE and BOOK LAUNCH Hélène Binet, Live

GUEST LECTURE and BOOK LAUNCH Hélène Binet, Liverpool School of Architecture , Wednesday 23rd October at 5PM (Reilly room) . Over a period of forty years, Hélène Binet has photographed both contemporary and historical architecture. A comprehensive selection of her work has been recently published by Lund Humphries, with two critical essays. In the book Marco Iuliano details Hélène Binet’s background, from her childhood in the Italian fishing village of Sperlonga and in Rome, through her early ‘discovery’ of architectural photographer Lucien Hervé, to other significant influences, like the collaborations with Daniel Libeskind, John Hejduk, Peter Zumthor and the connections at the AA where she met Zaha Hadid. Martino Stierli sets Binet’s work within the conceptual framework of architectural photography, discussing whether an architectural photograph is an inventory of a building or space, a translation into a two-dimensional image or, rather, an image in its own right; an artifact that loosely relates to the original object or phenomenon. The event will be the opportunity to listen to Binet talking about her most recent works and, in conversation with Dr Marco Iuliano, to explore the challenges of the book in the making. Hélène Binet (b. 1959) is a Swiss and French photographer based in London. A fervent advocate of analogue photography, she is an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (2007). In 2015 Hélène was the recipient of the Julius Shulman Institute Excellence in Photography Award. She was also the recipient of the 2019 Ada Louise Huxtable Prize, awarded to a woman who has made a major contribution to architecture, and is one of the Royal Photographic Society’s Hundred Heroines.

✨ @livuniarch x @aarchdk ✨

We are thrilled to announce that the School of Architecture has signed an agreement with the renowned Aarhus School of Architecture, Aarhus, Denmark, to allow exchanges for both BA and MArch students. The Master’s programme at Aarhus is also validated by RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Part Two. The agreement will also promote research and teaching collaborations between the two schools.

The Aarhus School of Architecture is a prestigious school that has gained its reputation by producing top-class architects in Europe and across the world.

Back in 2023, the MArch Year Two coordinator Johanna Muszbek and the international exchange coordinator Junjie Xi visited Aarhus and had the wonderful opportunity of speaking with the staff and students there. They were extremely impressed with the facilities that the school provides, especially the advanced wood workshop, which is one of the first rooms that visitors see when entering the building. The colourful materials shop also provides the students with all the necessary resources. The shared café area is a warm and friendly place for students and staff to share lunch and coffee together. Who could say no to the Danish rye bread and delicious pastries?

From September 2025, our students from Liverpool and students from Aarhus will begin to take part in semester exchanges.

We are looking forward to the beginning of this exchange, which will lead to important collaborations for the future. For our potential BA and MArch students, you will have the opportunity to be on this exchange programme in the first semester of your second year of study in the programme, an opportunity that will broaden your horizons and enable you to learn from northern Europe.
