Overview
What you will study
The eight-volume series covering different aspects of technical restoration, architectural elements and material usage for heritage buildings will be used as the course structure. The Architectural Conservation Studies course offered by Singapore University of Technology and Design will contain best practices and technical expertise on restoration works, and detailed information on locally used materials, construction methods and restoration techniques.
Learning objectives:

- Systematic understanding of technical knowledge, critical awareness of current problems, and/or new insights informed by conservation theory and practice
- Demonstrate knowledge of materials and techniques in architectural conservation and an ability to extrapolate from the inter-relationship of historic and scientific evidence, aesthetics, functionality and social values, the appropriate selection of conservation processes
- Evidence of how to use materials and techniques effectively and fluently in the successful realisation of conservation processes
Professional
