Heritage: Memory and Resources

Presentation proposed by LIGNUM VAUD

Renovating, repurposing and adding storeys are all ways of making the most of existing buildings as valuable resources. This sustainable and thoughtful approach also helps preserve the identity of each place.

Balancing urban densification, energy-efficient renovation and heritage conservation, two architects from French-speaking Switzerland explain how these challenges have shaped their projects and why timber emerged as a natural solution.

Moderator:
Lucie Mérigeaux, Head of Technical Services at Cedotec, Lignum's French-speaking office, Civil Engineer (ESTP/SIA)
