biography
For 30 years Sally
Stone has been designing, formulating ideas, and writing about
architecture, building reuse and interiors. She is an internationally
recognised authority in the field of Adaptive Reuse and as such her work
has contributed to the definition of the subject, the formation of a
methodology for the adaption of existing buildings, and the creation of an
approach to the teaching of the subject.
Sally is the author
of, most recently, Inside Information (RIBA Publications 2022), UnDoing
Buildings (Routledge 2019), and ReReadings Volumes 1 +2 (RIBA
Publications 2004, 2018), Emerging Practices in Pedagogy (Routledge 2021) and
From Organisation to Decoration: A Routledge Reader of Interiors 2013. Other
publications and research explore the disconnected yet similar approaches that
artist and architects take to the existing built environment. This was the
basis of the curated exhibition ‘UnDoing’, at the Castlefield
Gallery in Manchester.
Sally is the Leader of
the MA Architecture and Adaptive Reuse programme at the Manchester School of
Architecture, she is the director of the post-graduate atelier Continuity in
Architecture, and was for eight highly successful years, until September 2021,
the Master of Architecture Programme Leader.
Continuity in
Architecture discusses how architecture and interior architecture can be
designed to exploit the direct connection with the place that they inhabit, and
appear to be both completely contemporary, and yet at the same time, seem to
have always been there.

summary
Two of the most
pressing global challenges are climate change and urbanisation. Given that
already over half of the world’s population live in urban environments,
with 70% projected by 2050, all societies need to accommodate growth while at
the same time reducing consumption. The existing building stock must become
more efficient and more resilient. Adaptive reuse is a proactive and
sustainable approach to the creation of contemporary space, and as such,
existing buildings are an important environmental, cultural, social and
architectural resource for shaping the future.
