International Symposium on Adaptive Reuse

This two-day symposium will bring together some of the most prominent Mexican names in adaptive reuse projects presenting and discussing the rescue of cultural heritage in Mexico with a contemporary approach. The goal is to open the discussion and generate new questions from different perspectives. The participants will center their questions around how Mexican built heritage can be revitalized addressing the needs of the twenty-first century without losing its integrity and cultural value. The conversations will be framed by the design work of the participants, providing examples as a reference for students, experts, and the public to attend the symposium. The symposium will be open to the community of The University of Texas at Austin.
