The seminar provides an introduction to the basics of working with heritage theory on a scientific basis. It imparts methodological knowledge, introduces participants to archive-based research, and enables them to critically evaluate the sources consulted. The subsequent communication of the results in the form of an expert's report is also part of the course.
Learning objective
The aim of the seminar is to qualify participants to apply methods of architectural and cultural studies in the evaluation of objects of the built environment. Participants are enabled to assess a selected building in the form of a heritage conservation expert's report.
Content
An essential basis for the responsible handling of the built heritage is the ability to recognize its characteristics and special features from an architectural-historical perspective and to objectively work out its historical testimonial value. This requires knowledge of scientific methods as well as the ability to undertake targeted research and critically evaluate source material in order to productively incorporate it into the analysis. The first part of the seminar is devoted to an introduction to academic work in the field of architecture and cultural studies. This lays the foundation for the second part which deals with the independent academic appraisal of an individual building.
