Course unit content
The module intends to provide a basic theoretical reflection on the potential and dangers of the History of Architecture in the context of architectural restoration. The attitude of designers towards the building heritage of the past has profoundly changed in the various eras of Western history. Through case studies and protagonists of the historical-architectural heritage, the module connects theoretical inputs to operational practices. It is a didactic path that allows you to acquire an essential cultural background to identify and critically evaluate the interventions on the built heritage.
