Abstract
There is a recent shift in focus in the design preservation and transformation of the built heritage from building objects to historical urban landscape in the Yorkshire region of U.K. The paper will discuss the conservation policies, design regeneration principles, approaches, and socioeconomic impacts of two up-to-dated exemplar projects -- ‘Albert Works’ in Sheffield in 2017, and ‘Square Chapel’ in Halifax in 2017. The paper points to a more culturally and socially-sensitive way of architectural design involving built heritage and historical urban landscape, which works with the as-found conditions of historical fabric and monuments, strategic design branding, economic returns in preserving and transforming the built heritage and landscape in the Yorkshire.
