Recycling ‘down under’: The evolution of ways of working with one’s heritage

Abstract

This paper concerns itself with the story of recent ‘recycling’ projects in Hobart, Tasmania. Tasmania is an island separated from the rest of Australian continental landmass that has evolved slowly in relative isolation, thereby gaining a large number of historic buildings, which were patched up rather than knocked down and rebuilt. The paper looks at two projects undertaken by Circa Morris-Nunn Architects to show how the recycling became an enriching process, with the new insertions/ additions contributing to the old heritage fabric in many very diverse, innovative ways; with the final architectural entity being far more inclusive and culturally enriching than a newly constructed building could ever hope to be. The paper presents an effective way of keeping what is culturally worthwhile in the existing building stock, which gives an identity to a particular place, and yet rejuvenates it, making it relevant to a new generation.
