Canada’s built heritage is an important resource in terms of supporting quality of life and a sustainable environment and economy in our cities and towns. In the face of rapid demographic, social, and environmental change, heritage structures and districts need to adapt in a variety of ways: to find new uses; to meet the changing needs of their owners; to meet new regulatory and building code requirements; to support densification; and to address the challenges of climate change; among others. For designers, tackling these issues and challenges, while preserving the integrity of our built heritage, can be a daunting task. How do they balance all of these issues and challenges to find the “sweet spot” between change and continuity?
