The approach of conserving and transforming both buildings and townscapes is gaining ground in Russia. As an expert in the field of adaptive re-use, Mei was asked to visit the Architectural Heritage Festival in Kazan, Russia. During this festival we will share our knowledge and insights by presenting various examples of tranformation of heritage buildings and sites, designed by Mei. Such as Jobsveem, Cheese Warehouse, Oceaanhuis, Fenix and the Silk Factory.
