Sally Stone

Sally Stone is a Professor of Adaptive Reuse and Pedagogical Innovation at the Manchester School of Architecture, a collaboration between Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester. She leads the MA Architecture and Adaptive Reuse programme and has published extensively on sustainable adaptation, heritage, and interdisciplinary design practices.

• Author of Inside Information (2021), UnDoing Buildings (2019), and co-editor of Emerging Practices in Pedagogy (2021).
• Her research-through-curation projects like UnDoing (2019) and Gate 81 (2013–2025) explore intersections between architecture, art, and cultural memory.
• Shortlisted for the Colvin Prize (2025), she collaborates with institutions like Castlefield Gallery and the Danish Institute.

Her work bridges academic theory with practical interventions in small settlements, focusing on contextual design, conservation, and the emotional resonance of the built environment. Projects such as Bakewell: Some Ideas (2017) demonstrate her commitment to public engagement and sustainable urban development.
