Module topics and activities will typically include: • Introduction to sustainable heritage management, its scope and scales of operation; In the first weeks, the students will be introduced to the notion of sustainable heritage management at different levels – local, national and international and scales –settlement, neighbourhood, site and building. Following this, the relationship between heritage management, urban design and building design intervention (architecture) will be investigated. The challenges faced by different heritage bodies, including professionals, academics and communities will be addressed in the subsequent weeks. The students will also learn about the wide-ranging methods, techniques and tools for documenting and managing different types of heritage assets. Building on issues explored in the first module, challenges and opportunities of heritage legislations will be further investigate d. The students will have the additional input from diverse heritage institutions (public, private and NGO) and professionals via interactive communication. The concepts and understanding developed in this module will be explored further in the forthcoming modules in semester 2. Students will gain confidence through their conversations with diverse heritage experts and via presentations of their own work in the final week. Digital fluency and global citizenship attributes will also be gained via a range of well-planned activities. The key hallmarks and attributes of the UoL Curriculum 2021 will thus be gained, while student employability will be enhanced by acquiring key criteria of the eight Areas of Competences recognised by the Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC). |
