2.15 lecture by Mike Cressey, CFA: Riddles Court, a Merchants House fit for a King, <\/strong>covering the archaeological approach taken by Scottish Historic Buildings Trust (SHBT) in collaboration with the late Prof Charles McKean to unravel the mysteries of this multi-phase building in the top of the Old Town of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n

To create The Patrick Geddes Centre for Learning and Conservation, SHBT will undertake major repair works to the building, conserve its significant architectural features and improve public access and facilities. The Trust promises an extensive learning and conservation programme to be delivered from the new centre based on the educational ethos evolved from Geddes Vivendo Discimus – By Living We Learn\u00a0 <\/em>http:\/\/www.shbt.org.uk\/\/index.php?cID=151<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Taking that motto to heart, IHBC will discuss experiences of standing building archaeology and its interface with building conservation. Please bring your thoughts to bear on this.<\/p>\n
