Heritage and Design

This webinar, to be presented and led by key team members of Lovell Chen, one of Australia's pre-eminent Heritage Architectural practices, Anne-Marie Treweeke (Lovell Chen) and Suzanne Zahra (Lovell Chen) and will also include presentations and discussions with 2020 AIA Heritage Design Winner, Mat Hinds (Taylor & Hinds) and renowned Toowoomba based heritage architect, Stephanie Keays.

Anne-Marie, Suzanne, Mat and Stephanie will each present on how architects can:


  • Seek to add context and meaning to their heritage projects by incorporating, referencing, and creating a dialogue with the historic fabric (and not by just mimicking or replicating the past)
  • Infuse the new with the old to enhance value and elicit a deeper level of understanding of what is significant.
  • Convey an understanding of the process in submissions to statutory approval bodies.
  • Learn how to address the challenges of bringing older buildings into compliance with current building regulations, especially in relation to environmental sustainability, disability access and fire safety.
  • Make decisions in terms of materials, finishes and furnishings about what to bring back and what is appropriate for current use.
