@SAVEtoReuse We had a great time! So many interesting events packed into 2days. Loved the #justdoit tales: open a building up & see who comes. The dance floor in pic4 is soon to be a microgreens farm, complementing mushroom fm below. #Nudge are changing lives as well as #unionstreet #heritage

There’s a real buzz in the room today for ⁦@SAVEtoReuse⁩’s #BuildinginContext conference in Norwich. Director Henrietta Billings sets the scene: Cities like Norwich are successful because their historic streets & buildings attract people and businesses who want to be here

🗞️Great to see our campaign highlighted in the @FT today. In the hands of creative architects and engineers, buildings like M&S Oxford St can be reused. ♻️ There’s 3 examples on Oxford St alone… 🧵A thread...

'These old buildings are too big, significant & in some cases too beautiful simply to be binned, w all the waste of resources that entails. There is the ingenuity & affection out there' A fascinating catalogue of imaginative re-uses♻️ bit.ly/4e1M020 #retrofit #heritage
