Course Objectives: | This course seeks to introduce students conservation science, architectural and cultural values, and heritage assets by integrating theoretical information into practical studies through studio works, virtual site visits, and video projections. The aim is to help the student; to understand approaches of conservation, international institutions, and regulations and to develop his/her capacity related to: The use of international charters Rapid damage assessment Analytical studies on existing buildings Restoration decisions |
The students who have succeeded in this course; ─ Understanding the basic principles of conservation science. ─ Understanding the basic principles involved in the appropriate application of building restoration and preservation. ─ Ability to analyze a historic environment and a historic building to decide for its preservation works. ─ Ability to analyze the damage state of historic buildings. |
This course tries to find answers for the questions of: * What is cultural heritage ? * Why do we conserve? * How to conserve? * Conservation for whom? Lecture, Individual Study, Case Study, Discussion These questions are disscussed through the examples from the world. Lecture, Individual Study, Case Study, Discussion |
