Manchester School of Architecture

Program Overview

Students will investigate the four main aspects of sustainable reuse - environmental, societal, inhabitation and economic – while also exploring heritage, history, memory, community, and the influence these factors have on remodelling activities. They will look at the impact that context and the environment have upon projects, while developing an understanding of some of the technical issues including construction, environmental control, and materials in order to make creative and appropriate proposals for new users of buildings. Students will also examine specific examples of adaptive reuse, theories of reuse and explore strategies for the conservation and adaptation of the existing environment.­­

  • Shape the future of the built environment by exploring new, heritage friendly and sustainable approaches to development.
  • RIBA award-winning buildings provide high-quality facilities and learning environments.
  • Benefit from building, industry and workshop visits alongside collaborative projects with students, clients and users.
