TRANSCRIPT
ADAPTIVE REUSE:A Provocative Proposition
Urban Renewal AuthorityHKU Architectural Conservation Programme
August – September 2010
The issue: new design intervention is necessary for adaptive reuse.
A question: how much design intervention is too much?
A provocation: are we too timid to accept innovative intervention?

a provocative proposition
architecture must burnWe are fed up with seeing Palladio and other historical mask, because we do not want to exclude everything in architecture that makes us uneasy. We want architecture that has more to offer. . . . If it is cold, then cold as a block of ice. If it is hot, then as hot as a tongue of flame. Architecture must burn.

138 New work or alteration to a significant place should normally be acceptable if . . . the proposals aspire to a quality of design and execution which may be valued now and in the future.
139 The recognition of the public interest in heritage values is not in conflict with innovation, which can help to create the heritage of the future.
