| Overall Educational Objective | To learn the conservation and restoration principles, focusing on, but not restricted to the subject of architecture; to learn the basic terms and concepts on history and the theory of conservation, to understand the relation between heritage and design through contemporary discussions on conservation. | ||||
| Course Description | This course scrutinizes the 21st century meaning of conservation and restoration through comparisons among various principles, terminology and contemporary cases. Real life examples within the scope of conservation and design forms the backbone of the course. Introduction of the necessary tools for the documentation of historical structures and international charters and standards in approaching the historical heritage will familiarize architecture students with the technical and regulatory layers of conservation and restoration concepts. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) recognize the general aspect of conservation; 2) understand the basic and advanced techniques on survey and documentation; 3) use basic terminology on conservation and restoration and interpret this gained knowledge in the regulatory frame; 4) analyze conservation and restoration principles in different scales of heritage throughout architectural history span; 5) express a critical approach to the contemporary conservation cases; |
