Investigating the Impact of Sustainability on the Aesthetics of Yorkshire Churches
Supervisors: Professor Gamal Abdelmonem & Dr Louise Cooke
The conservation of England’s churches is a significant challenge, as many are underutilised due to decreasing congregations, financial challenges, environmental issues, or cultural changes, in addition to the demand to meet long-term sustainability, necessitating a thoughtful balance between their historical, architectural & aesthetic significance. My research investigates the impact of contemporary sustainability-focused interventions on the aesthetics of historic churches, particularly in the Yorkshire region.
