This year, we are focussing on Conserving Copyright – Intellectual Property: Architects’ Archives, Access – Past Present and Future: how the INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ACT 2014 impacts on design copyrights; best practice in protecting, conserving, archiving and accessing original material in rapidly superseded digital data formats (disc, BIM, CAD/DWG, JPG, PDF etc); compliance with HLF Digital Outputs grant conditions, retention & “run off cover” records for PII (Standard 8 of the ARB Architect’s Code); avoiding piracy in the Planning Portal; researching and drawing on historic records and – last but not least – ensuring your legacy of interventions is accessible to your successors……We have the Head of Intellectual Property at the British Library, Ben White, giving the keynote address, updating us on the current copyright legislation- Charles Hind, Chief Curator of the British Architectural Library RIBA Drawings Collection explaining how the collection conserves, selects and archives all manner of media – and John Wheatley, architect, academic and adjudicator on a brazen act of PDF piracy and fee felony.
The case study is the conservation and transformation of the Arts and Crafts, neo-Gothic St Anne’s Cathedral, Leeds (1901-4 by J.H.Eastwood [1843-1913] & S.K.Greenslade [1866-1955]) with the current architect, Richard Williams, taking us through the process – which included using the original architects’ drawings.
