Heritage Conservation:
Theories, Principles & Practices

This module is intended to give us a practical understanding of the key principles, theories and methods of documentation of heritage conservation to enable us to understand the importance of preserving cultural and architectural heritage. We will develop their awareness and understanding of the different approach of heritage conservation of buildings and landscapes. Besides, we will also explore the differences between conservation, restoration and reconstruction within a historical and cultural context.

After spending a semester in this module, I'm confident I made the right choice by choosing the heritage conservation extension over the sustainable one. The heritage conservation path has been full of surprises and exciting discoveries. As my first course in this extension, it's been incredibly valuable. I've learned so much about heritage conservation—its definition, the cultural values of sites and buildings, and the key factors to consider in the conservation process. This module has given me a solid foundation and made me even more excited for the next step in my heritage conservation journey.
