Course DescriptionThis course aims to introduce architecture students to the concepts of historic site and conservation with a manner of systematic and contemporary tools/approaches. The course is structured around theoretical lectures and site surveys on a selected historic settlement that has conservation problems in different scales. Each semester, students are expected to conduct a site survey on the selected area; and determine its physical, social, economic and visual aspects.
