Post-war mass housing (PMH) was a solution to an unprecedented housing demand, with nearly 6,000 multi-storey public housing blocks built in Britain between 1945 and 1985. Initially representing modernity, these homes now require urgent modernisation. However, the heritage valorisation of Modern architecture remains contentious, with PMH facing stronger opposition, embodying "yet-to-be-loved" architecture. This research will advance the scholarship of heritage significance beyond traditional conservation by tackling the competing values of architectural protection and the need for efficient and safe homes. A novel resident-inclusive heritage framework will be produced to advance redevelopment that promotes social and environmental sustainability through conscientious retrofitting.A maligned public perception and decades of residualisation have consigned PMH to a cycle of social and physical decay. The cost-of-living crisis, rising levels of fuel poverty, and climate emergency highlight the urgency to reassess the choice between demolition and invasive retrofitting of non-listed PMH. Demolition threatens sustainability and displaces residents, resulting in the loss of heritage. Conversely, retrofits can incur gentrification and can disguise rather than rectify the systematic neglect. Yet, this critical juncture presents an opportunity to re-evaluate retrofitting to empower residents and review the exclusionary PMH designation practices.While scholarship recognises the incompatibilities of traditional heritage frameworks for PMH conservation, it is only partially explained by a lingering stigmatisation and a 'conceptual paradox', namely that heritage recognition demands the contrary concepts of 'modern' and 'heritage' be reconciled. Thus, significant complexities within this developing field remain unarticulated. The project will also address a related but currently overlooked 'value paradox', namely the contradiction of applying traditional heritage notions predicated upon uniqueness and prestige to housing built en masse and by municipalities. While proposals for sociocultural, heritage-conscious retrofits have been suggested, a division persists between retrofit practices and heritage considerations. It is crucial to bridge this gap, as the conservation of these homes will become untenable without an alignment between these imperatives. Retrofitting has become a necessity for PMH, and this project offers a significant contribution to scholarship by merging these conflicting fields. This project will establish the practice of retrofitting as both a regenerative and protective strategy through an inclusive heritage recognition framework and the novel concept of conscientious retrofitting, i.e. conservation through sociocultural, heritage-conscious, and inclusive retrofitting. By outlining this pathway for environmental sustainability and dynamic heritage conservation, the research provides a means of retaining the architectural significance while addressing perilous living conditions. The research employs a mixed methodology, combining archival meta-analysis with action and data-driven research. Following reconnaissance surveys in year one, a grounded theory for resident perspectives will be applied to case studies in year two, examining the three contending considerations of social, environmental, and heritage sustainability. Also in year two, data-driven research will provide empirical justifications for the framework and the conceptualisation of conscientious retrofits. To understand the value ascribed to PMH, deep-narrative analysis will investigate trends in archival sources, interview transcripts, and social media. During year three, creative building visualisation and digital heritage archiving methods will be utilised to produce the framework, which will visually communicate codified heritage value and physical decay. The last stages of the research will focus on synthesising and disseminating the findings.

战后大规模住房（PMH）是解决前所未有的住房需求的解决方案，在1945年至1985年之间，在英国建造了近6,000个多层公共住房区。最初代表现代性，这些房屋现在需要紧急现代化。然而，现代建筑的传统价值仍然有争议，PMH面临着更强大的反对，体现了“尚未被人们喜爱的”建筑。这项研究将通过解决建筑保护的竞争价值以及对高效和安全住房的需求，将遗产意义的奖学金超越传统保护。将生产一个新颖的包括居民遗产框架，以通过认真的改造来促进社会和环境可持续性的重建。一种损害的公众看法和数十年的残余化已将PMH置于社会和身体衰落的循环中。生活成本的危机，燃料贫困水平的上升以及气候紧急情况突出了重新评估拆除和侵入性改造的未列出PMH之间选择的紧迫性。拆除威胁着可持续性并取代居民，导致遗产丧失。相反，改造可以引起高档化，并可以掩饰而不是纠正系统的忽视。然而，这个关键关头为重新评估改造以增强居民的权力并审查排他性的PMH指定实践提供了机会。奖学金认识到传统的传统遗产框架的无兼容性，但它仅通过诱人的污名化和'概念的概念来部分解释悖论'，即遗产识别要求和解“现代”和“遗产”的相反概念。因此，该发展田内的显着复杂性仍然没有明显。该项目还将解决一个相关但目前被忽视的“价值悖论”，即应用传统的遗产概念矛盾，这些遗产概念以独特性和声望为基础，以建造住房和市政当局。尽管提出了有关社会文化的建议，但已经提出了遗产意识的改造，但在改造实践和遗产方面的考虑之间仍然存在划分。弥合这一差距至关重要，因为在这些要求之间没有对齐的情况下，对这些房屋的保护将变得站不住下来。改造已成为PMH的必要性，该项目通过合并这些冲突的领域为奖学金提供了重大贡献。该项目将通过包容性的遗产识别框架和良心改造的新颖概念，即通过社会文化，遗产意识和包容性的改造，将改造作为再生和保护策略的实践。通过概述了环境可持续性和动态遗产保护的这一途径，该研究提供了一种在解决危险生活条件时保持建筑意义的方法。该研究采用了一种混合方法，将档案荟萃分析与动作和数据驱动的研究相结合。在第一年进行侦察调查后，居民观点的扎根理论将应用于第二年的案例研究，研究了社会，环境和遗产可持续性的三个竞争考虑。同样在第二年，数据驱动的研究将为框架和认真改造的概念化提供经验理由。为了了解归因于PMH的价值，深叙事分析将调查档案资源，访谈记录和社交媒体的趋势。在第三年中，将利用创造性的建筑可视化和数字遗产归档方法来生成该框架，该框架将在视觉上传达编纂的遗产价值和物理衰减。研究的最后阶段将集中于综合和传播发现。
