MSc Architectural Design for the Conservation of Built Heritage
Architectural conservation - the action of conserving built heritage while maintaining its values - is practiced differently across the world; sometimes not at all due to cultural and economic constraints.
The course is a platform for: collaboration with both practice and research partners, architectural critique, discussion and debate. All full-time students take instructional classes and a design project in the first two semesters. MSc students then complete a dissertation project. The course is informed by the outcomes of the research being carried out at the Architectural Design and Conservation Research Unit (ADCRU). It is a platform for collaboration with both practice and research partners; architectural critique, discussion and debate are fundamental parts of the course.
Assessment
Formative assessment will take place throughout the course. You’ll be assessed through lectures, seminars, interim Studio Reviews and workshops, supported by student presentations, symposia and peer feedback.
Methods of teaching vary; some subjects are formally taught using lectures and seminars, others use a mix of methods which may incorporate small projects.
