Architectural Conservation explores how existing architecture in historic urban environments can be developed and used as a resource, potential and a tool for change. Various methods of inventory are utilized to analyze the context and as basis for the generation of sustainable proposals, which can result in something new, added or something old that is restored. The course gives qualified, cutting-edge competency to professionals in the field of architectural restoration. A comprehensive view of the complex issues concerning architectural restoration is discussed in historical, contemporary and future contexts, with focus on both national and international issues of urbanity.
The course is aimed for professionals in the field of architectural conservation, architects, antiquarians, engineers and also professions related to the specific theme for the year. Applicants should have a master’s degree, or equivalent experience and a minimum of one-year working experience. The course includes lectures, site visits, study trips and project work, which builds up successively throughout the year. The project work can be done collaboratively, individually (or as part of a doctoral study). The teaching is structured in blocks with differing thematic foci. The final work is presented in an exhibition and/or in a written report.
Restaurering och utveckling av efterkrigstidens modernism kräver kunskap om samhällsutvecklingen, arkitekturidéer, moderna material och tekniker. Vi måste aktivt söka och sortera dessa värden NU, innan de försvinner. I international style, contemperary modern och brutalism finns rationella, råa teknik-, materiallösningar och en skala som inte självklart omfamnas av nutidens samhällsbyggare. Genom kunskapsuppbyggnad, laborationer, studiebesök och egna grupparbeten lägger kursen Restaureringskonst 2012/2013 grunden för att kunna förädla och arbeta med det modena urbana kulturarvets byggnader och miljöer.
