Courses
Managing nature around historic buildings can be a challenge. But it also presents exciting opportunities for engagement and conservation. This course will introduce new research, policy trends and case studies for nature positive activity.
What links the ground beneath our feet to our cultural heritage? How do local building variations emerge and develop? Why is traditional building practice still important? Join this course to explore the material culture of historic buildings in Britain.
Approaches to managing old buildings change across time and between cultures. This course will give historical and global context to architectural conservation practice, and help students broaden their perspective on change in the historic environment.
