Conference on adaptive re-use and transition of the built heritage
In the framework of the European Year of Cultural Heritage the Architects' Council of Europe (ACE) is organising a public conference on "Adaptive Re-Use and Transition of the Built Heritage". During this final event of the European Year of Cultural Heritage initiative Heritage in transition, stakeholders will present a a statement on the adaptive reuse of built heritage.

Through smart restoration, renovation or transformation these buildings and sites can find new, mixed or extended uses. As a result, their social, environmental and economic value can increase, while their cultural or historical significance is enhanced.
The conference will bring together the partners of the European initiative Heritage in Transition, which aims to promote good practice and smart ways to transform Europe's industrial, religious and military heritage for new use(r)s.

- the skills, knowledge and competences necessary for quality heritage interventions;
- the design challenges inherent to adaptive
