Overview
Architectural conservation - the action of conserving built heritage while maintaining its values - is practiced differently across the world; sometimes not at all due to cultural and economic constraints.
All full-time students take instructional classes and a design project in the first two semesters. MSc students then complete a dissertation project.
The Architectural Design for the Conservation of Built Heritage at The University of Strathclyde is informed by the outcomes of the research being carried out at the Architectural Design and Conservation Research Unit (ADCRU). It is a platform for collaboration with both practice and research partners; architectural critique, discussion and debate are fundamental parts of the course.
