Please join us for this fascinating event exploring built heritage.
RSA Fellows and guests are most warmly invited to register for this event, which is one in a series of online discussions within the overall theme of “Heritage: Challenges, Opportunities and Solutions”, the subject of a future conference.
Few of us can be unaware of the significant and varied challenges presenting those involved in heritage management, or in any type of business or project housed in a heritage building whether Listed or not. Overall, the event series will include discussion of diverse case studies, the need for critical issues debate by civil society as a whole as well as by heritage organisations, and will also involve one or two speakers from outside the UK.
