Conservation architecture requires a very thoughtful and careful approach. I discuss with my guest Samantha Gill, who is an Associate and AABC and RIBA Specialist Conservation Architect from Seven Architecture, the ever growing challenges within conservation architecture of trying to integrate sustainability, where traditionally the "building and the significance comes before anything" With over a decade of experience in the field, Samantha adds insight into:

• Differences between conservation and restoration
• Guidance from Historic England to introduce sustainability into conservation architecture
• How to introduce renewable technology into conservation architecture
• Conservation of energy and the challenges of upgrading historic fabrics
• Technical issues with introducing new and old materials
