Dezeen has partnered with Knauf to present Architecture Project Talks, a series of presentations by architects about key projects that involve historic structures, sustainable materials and digital reconstruction methods.

The three talks, which count towards continuing professional development (CPD) points for UK architects, feature Grade II*-listed community theatre Battersea Arts Centre, Stirling Prize-shortlisted Cork House and 168 Upper Street, a deliberately distorted replica of a Victorian terrace.

Read on for more information and to register for free to attend the talks.

Battersea Arts Centre is a community theatre that was renovated over the course of 12 years by UK architecture firm Haworth Tompkins.

Located beside the River Thames in Berkshire, England, Cork House is a residential building made from sustainably sourced cork.
