The base of this course is a one week intensive on-site workshop that showcases built heritage preservation and management practices abroad. Each year the workshop combines field work and site visits, but in different countries and continents, in close interaction with local stakeholders.
Students gain knowledge and experience in collaborating with international experts of different backgrounds.
The course directly contributes to the students’ working terminology and skills in the built heritage sector.
Previous knowledge
Knowledge on built heritage conservation and restoration techniques on the level of buildings and the larger built environment, as well as conservation policies. This knowledge is progressively acquired through the theoretical and methodological courses within this advanced master programme.

2 ects. International Workshop: Workshop (B-KUL-H00X4a)
Content
One week intensive on-site workshop that showcases built heritage preservation and management practices abroad. Each year the workshop combines field work and site visits, but in different countries and continents, in close interaction with local stakeholders.
The workshop is a combination of:
- On-site learning experiences with local experts and stakeholders in their day-to-day work environment;
- On-site data collection in the format of primary data sources, visual damage / risk assessment, value mapping or qualitative empirical research;
- Skill building in co-creating new data or ideas for local built heritage projects;
- Communicating the short-term data collection and learning experience in the format of presentations and group work.
The topic and location varies each year, depending on the relevance of the topic for the students and ongoing research and development activities of the teaching staff.
Past workshops focussed on:
- Conservation of modern movement architecture in Central and Eastern Europe;
- Rural built heritage in the Balkans;
- The challenges of the preservation and management of historic city centres in fast developing countries (Egypt);
- Management World Heritage sites in Ecuador, Scotland and Jordan.
