Real estate and heritage reuse
Real estate and heritage reuse is essential to achieve a sustainable built environment consistent with the European sustainability goals. This, however, requires an approach to reuse that includes not only the financial real estate value, but the wider social and environmental impacts of how we design, develop, use and reuse our buildings. Here, real estate practice and research can learn a lot from heritage studies. This session aims at presenting some of the impacts of real estate and heritage reuse within urban environments, considering both the temporal dimension and different scales. Understanding the impact of adaptive reuse on its surrounding area can open new perspectives for adaptive reuse as a sustainable approach to urban regeneration. In the session, we will present some cases from the Netherlands and their impact on real estate and urban values. The session will further explore the effects and impacts on value, and how real estate and heritage reuse can be facilitated within complex governance frameworks.

After an international educational and professional path, including Norway, Italy, and the Netherlands, Hilde Remøy is now teaching, researching and publishing on sustainable adaptive reuse of real estate and heritage. She focuses on the value, lifespan and continued reuse of real estate. She conducts research ranging from large scale European funded projects to research for Dutch practice, working with researchers and professionals of various disciplines and backgrounds. In 2017, she organised and chaired the ERES annual conference with more than 400 participants at the TU Delft.
Hilde Remøy studied architecture and urbanism at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and at the Politecnico di Milano (Erasmus). She graduated from NTNU in 1997. From 1998 to 2005, she worked as an architect at Dutch architecture firms on different projects, from master planning and public buildings to building adaptations and interior designs. She is registered at the Dutch Architects Registry. From 2005 to 2009, she conducted her PhD research on adaptive reuse, “Out of Office, a Study on the Cause of Office Vacancy and Transformation as a Means to Cope and Prevent”, which she successfully defended in 2010.
Hilde Remøy is coordinating and teaching in the BSc and MSc curriculum of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. She has been a supervisor for the faculty Solar Decathlon Team. She also teaches in post-academic courses, focusing on the financial aspects of adaptive re-use, and is frequently invited to give lectures and presentations at other universities, conferences and symposia.
