What do we actually conserve?

How do we conserve “it”?

 

Everyday involves planning, so it the conservation of built heritage. This course helps students to translate the understanding of character-defining elements, built heritage and assessment of its cultural heritage values into appropriate management strategies for its best conservation, through the tools of statement of significance, value-based assessment, cultural mapping, conservation policies, conservation management plan and heritage impact assessment, by making reference to internationally recognized charters/principles/guidance and local and overseas conservation planning tools and strategies. This course also allows students to explore the use of new technology, e.g. AI, in heritage conservation.
