Innovations in Adaptive Reuse

Adaptive reuse stands as a multi-faceted solution to Vancouver’s urban challenges. The practice of re-using existing structures offers opportunities to eliminate waste, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce embodied carbon in existing structures. Beyond ecological benefits, this practice has demonstrated significant impact on social, cultural, and economic aspects. This year’s architecture keynote will present strategies for adaptive reuse in Vancouver, addressing the balance between preserving architectural heritage and meeting evolving contemporary needs.
