Hassell Talks is a conversation between designers and the world, exploring the transformative power of design to make the our built environment a better, more inclusive place. In this series you’ll hear from architects and urbanists, place makers, researchers and designers alongside incredible guests on how we’re reimagining and re-thinking our built environment - and beyond - and designing places people love: creating a more equitable, sustainable and thriving future for everyone.
Finding more meaningful value in Retrofit and Repurpose
Retrofitting and repurposing existing structures can achieve decarbonisation goals, enhance occupancy, attract investment, and rejuvenate cities – all while reducing environmental impact. No wonder our industry can't stop talking about it.
It no longer makes sense to demolish unoccupied buildings, as it's neither cost-effective nor aligned with our circular economy aspirations.
In September 2023, Hassell sponsored the inaugural Retrofit & Repurpose Summit on Gadigal Country, Sydney, bringing together sustainability leaders, asset owners, investors, and sustainable building specialists come together to explore the opportunities and positive impacts of retrofit and repurpose strategies.
A recorded panel discussion 'Change Levers: Finding New Value in Net Zero Retrofit and Reuse Market', allows us to bring some of the summit's insights to the Hassell Talks audience. Featuring Principal Jeff Morgan; Green Building Council of Australia's Elham Monavari, Solar Victoria's Paul Corkill; Built's Jono Cottee, and hosted by Alison Scotland, Executive Director Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council.
We're pleased to be able to bring you this recording, and these insights.
Our thanks to the Retrofit Summit for generously capturing and sharing this audio.
