About the CPD 活動簡述: 

This talk explores the use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to address major challenges in historic building conservation, including risk management, conflicting stakeholder priorities, and subjective value assessments. By structuring decisions into hierarchical criteria and quantifying both qualitative and quantitative factors, AHP transforms subjective judgment into transparent, evidence-based priorities. Academic cases— ranging from adaptive reuse projects in Italy to prioritisation of disused buildings in New Zealand and AHP-GIS applications in heritage boundary mapping—demonstrate its capacity to optimise conservation strategies, resolve conflicts, and align with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

The talk advocates for a shift from experience-based to data-driven decision-making and identifies opportunities for integrating AHP with artificial intelligence (AI) for dynamic, adaptive conservation planning. It aims to provide a concise and practical reference for exploring more possibilities to enhance the effectiveness of historical building conservation.

She has actively collaborated on numerous research projects with academics from other universities, industry professionals, and Government Departments. Her research focus has been on the adaptive reuse of built heritage, architecture, affordable housing, building technology and sustainable built environments.

 
In addition to her role at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Ar. Professor Kee holds positions as an Honorary Associate Professor in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong, a Senior Fellowship in the Advanced Higher Education Academy, and an Adjunct Associate Professor at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne.

Ms. MAO Chenrui

Rae’s research focuses on the adaptive reuse of heritage buildings. Her specific goal is to construct a comprehensive framework of ‘value recognition, value enhancement, and value sustainability’: activating cultural expression through adaptive reuse, strengthening cultural identity through community participation, and ultimately ensuring that cultural heritage becomes a core asset in building a sustainable and inclusive future through a scientific regulatory maintenance system.
