Content
TThis module explores different methods of promoting cultural goods. The preservation project, which will be monitored on a weekly basis, offers the opportunity to design an intervention on the historical area. The project will not focus on a single historic building, but will offer an opportunity to explore the role of conservation in the wider urban environment. In parallel with this project, through a series of lectures, various phases in the development of conservation projects, research methods, assessment, renovation, constructive rehabilitation, adaptation, expansion and monitoring of historic buildings and surrounding urban areas will be presented and explored. Special emphasis will be placed on issues related to the preservation and management of historic cities.
