Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to discuss the challenges of contemporary cultural heritage preservation using specific examples. Each year, the course has a slightly different content, following current issues and, where appropriate, topics raised by the students themselves (examples of monument restoration in their place of residence, etc.). The course may include excursions to heritage preservation offices, restoration workshops, and buildings undergoing heritage restoration. The aim is to learn the basic working methods and procedures used in the design and implementation of heritage restoration. The course also covers methods of heritage restoration, administration, communication procedures, and the popularization of conservation.
Students gain an understanding of the various aspects of heritage conservation and the role of "heritage" in the daily lives of individuals and society.
