Learning outcomes
The semester course introduces the key spheres involved in the discourse of interdisciplinary cooperation in the heritage conservation. The presented basic areas form a comprehensive framework reflecting aspects of the historical and present meaning, outlining future trends. The seminar part tries to apply the complex approach in the interference of various spheres of heritage conservation on the model example of a selected specific historical monument using the method of decomposition into sub-tasks, which should finally reach a unified "model" result. (team work / 3-4 students / one historical monument).
The acquired competences contribute to familiarizing students of art history with practical overlaps into various areas of heritage conservation that they may encounter in their future employment.
Prerequisites
General knowledge of heritage conservation themes.
