Our concern with our built Heritage has prompted us to campaign for its Conservation. We have developed the following 4-points approach to Conservation:

  1. A heritage building or site no matter how derelict or fallen into disrepair can be restored rebuilt and rehabilitated for some useful adaptive reuse.100 Cintra Street, Penang.

  2. Working on heritage and conservation projects requires dedication and sensitivity and therefore eliminating the need for it to be expensive or economically non-viable.
  3. As we are the direct living descendents of a continuous living heritage follows that whatever we do within the context of good architecture and built environment that goes towards sustaining and continuing our heritage has to be acceptable as part and parcel of the living culture.

    “Therefore it is a fallacy to insist that everything we recreate in the spirit of and for the  present living heritage must be a repetition and copy of the old tradition”.

  4. All heritage buildings should be able to generate self supporting income without becoming a burden and therefore economically non- viable or sustainable.
