Project description

A conservation plan is a document that guides the future use and development of an historic building. It requires historical/archival research, an assessment of heritage value and the development of policies and recommendations to guide future use and development. In this course, each student selects and works on a different building. Lectures explain each of the main steps in the conservation planning process. Independent research and writing are required. Tutorial time provides the opportunity for questions and discussion.
