Research and Education

Robin Kent Architecture & Conservation believes that properly informed, research-based understanding should be the basis of both conservation and design. The consultancy is keen to ensure that all our projects are informed by the latest research findings, and to make the results of our own research widely available to benefit others. Working alongside scientists and specialists, we have contributed to published research into a wide range of issues affecting conservation practice and particular sites in which we have been involved, including historic research and evaluations, assesments of significance, conservation plans and statements, strategies and action plans. In addition to revealing the value and potential of heritage assets, often such research supports proposed changes and it can even prompt innovative new approaches.

The consultancy has delivered local authority and university training sessions, and has been invited to lecture to professional institutions, conferences and seminars, and is involved in other educational initiatives aimed at raising conservation and design standards. Some of our lectures have been published in journals and the Conservation Directory. In addition to case studies based on our portfolio of projects, the consultancy provides training seminars on key technical and legislative issues to support colleagues in continuing professional education and development. As a 'training office', we also contribute to the professional education of architectural students interested in conservation.
