Lecture series in the spring semester 2025
The responsible reconstruction and further development of the existing building stock requires knowledge and an understanding of the theoretical positions conservation and the basics of preservation in practice. The core course of spring semester 2025 conveys this knowledge to students with the help of selected writings and discusses them in the context of various guest lectures.
The course in the spring semester 2025 is dedicated to more recent civil engineering structures.
Heritage conservation is dedicated to the preservation and protection of historical buildings. In this lecture, students will learn about the theoretical positions on historic monuments and the basics of preservation in practice. In addition to active participation in the discussions, students will be asked to engage with a topic or object of their own choice in order to be able to develop and comprehensibly justify their own positions within the context of preservation. Our goal here is to foster students’ communication skills and the culture of discussion.
