DESCRIPTION
This unit provides an introduction to the practical and theoretical aspects of working constructively with heritage matters in the built environment. It covers traditional building materials and techniques; common problems and how to deal with them; the various organisations and authorities involved in administering heritage matters; the use and implications of the Burra Charter; how to investigate the history of a building through documentary sources and through its fabric; how to assess the significance of a building; how to prepare a simple conservation plan; and broad guidelines for new work. All architects have to work with heritage issues, and this may be in adapting an old building to a new use or placing a new building in an historic context. A clear understanding of the issues and processes involved will enable an architect to work effectively in what could otherwise seem a frustrating environment.
