Learning Outcome:The module aims to provide a theoretical basis of methods employed in the conservation of architectural heritage.
 
The students will
-  acquire  basic knowledge about the idea of the values of monuments and their cultural significance
-  apply these concepts and methods in order to critically analyse and assess the cultural significance of   architectural heritage
- be able to map out strategies regarding the conservation and preservation of historic buildings and heritage in context
Contents: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.
