The paper will proceed to highlight the various conservation initiatives embarked upon by the Hong Kong SAR’s Development Bureau, concluding with a discussion of the bureau’s accomplishments and challenges for the future.

Evolution and Adaptive Re-Use
Full paper template for Retrofit 2012 Conference: Evolution and adaptive re-use: A study of a successful model, the conversion of the North Kowloon Magistracy into the Savannah College of Arts and Design Bob Dickensheet1 , Raymond Chan2 and Andrew Platten3 1Professor Historic Preservation, School of Building Arts, Savannah College of Art and Design, Savannah, Georgia, USA 2Researcher, Centre for Urban Built Environment, Hong Kong College of Technology, Hong Kong 3 Associate Dean, Faculty of Arts, Environment and Technology, Leeds Metropolitan University, Leeds, United Kingdom Email: [email protected] [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: This paper reports an innovative study of adaptive reuse of a heritage building as a socially sustainable education project. This study relates to the need for many universities throughout the world the need to expand the education platform to meet the growing need of evolving industries and careers. This has created a financial challenge for these institutions as well as presenting an opportunity to work with existing buildings that represent a significant element of the local historic and heritage architecture. In the urban environment, the expansion of Universities often comes at the cost of loosing older campus structures or the loss of neighbouring housing or commercial architecture. The adoption of adaptive reuse provides a vehicle for both the retention of contributing historic architecture, a continuation of community life as well as presenting a cost saving to the institution. The very concept of sustainability and the preservation of heritage infers that something is to be allowed to continue, such as a building. This study will identify successful planning methods and review the relevant technological solutions, which support the concept of successful reuse and sustainable design.

Heritage Conservation Policy Policy statement 2. As promulgated in 2007, the Government seeks “to protect, conserve and revitalise as appropriate historical and heritage sites and buildings through relevant and sustainable approaches for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. In implementing this policy, due regard should be given to development needs in the public interest, respect for private property rights, budgetary considerations, cross-sector collaboration and active engagement of stakeholders and the general public.” Statutory monument declaration system 3.
