CAHPSTONE: A podcast on heritage conservation
CAHPSTONE Conversation with Emad Ghattas
Welcome back to CAHPSTONE - a podcast about all things heritage related!
This episode is hosted by Stephen Collette, the building manager for Faith & the Common Good. His expertise as both a building scientist and a 'building biologist' has led him to work with hundreds of faith community buildings to create sustainability plans to reduce energy and environmental impact.
This episode's featured guest is Emad Ghattas, a Senior Associate at GBCA with a decade of expertise in the conservation and reuse of historic buildings. He works as a heritage architect to guide clients through municipal approvals for development projects that require a balance of heritage conservation and intensification.
He prepares reports for associated heritage resources and coordinates with architectural teams and consultants. Prior to joining GBCA in 2014, Emad worked at EVOQ Architecture (previously FGMDA) in Montréal, assisting with the restoration of the West Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
We have many more exciting guests that will be featured this season. Be sure to follow the CAHPstone podcast on Apple, Spotify, or Amazon podcasts to be alerted when new episodes are released!
