📖New Publication Announcement - Built to Last Restoration and Reuse of Buildings at Risk📖

We are proud to announce the publication of our latest book, Built to Last, Restoration and Reuse of Buildings at Risk. Bringing built heritage assets back into use is not only a sustainable approach to building but celebrates the character and history of places and advances community cohesion.

It can be a challenge to find the right new uses for heritage buildings at risk and to manage their redevelopment but there are those who rise and have risen to it brilliantly and many more can be inspired to do so! This latest book from Ulster Architectural Heritage, Built to Last, profiles 25 bold and effective projects – completed and in progress – right across Northern Ireland where important and distinctive buildings which were once in a vulnerable state have been revived for present and future needs in exciting ways.
