Architecture Keynote – 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.
Moderated by DIALOG Associate Mona Lemoine, the session includes industry leaders Duncan Bates, Senior Associate at Diamond Schmitt; Ryan Bragg, Principal at Perkins+Will; Kai Hotson, Principal at SvN; and Mitchell Hall, Partner at KPMB Architects, who will present strategies for adaptive reuse in Vancouver. They will address the balance between preserving architectural heritage and meeting evolving contemporary needs.
