Inhalte
The history of architectural conservation, in particular the development of the values associated with architectural heritage, will provide one part of the theoretical background. Another one will be the various charters and international standards dealing with the current approaches and assessments of historical sites. We will examine contemporary challenges in conservation practice, such as the management of change and the preservation of the values of cultural sites, and explore different methods for dealing with these challenges. Cases studies will provide insight into the practical approaches of architects and conservation experts when dealing with the conservation of sites. Among others, these include the preservation of the cultural significance manifested in the many historic layers and traces at a site. Accompanying the lecture, activities during the semester can include the composition of a poster, reading responses, or a presentation, in which students can analyse and discuss a chosen topic.
