Cultural Heritage, Transformation and Conservation

The master's programme Cultural Heritage, Transformation and Restoration deals with how we can build on the world. In a concrete sense, how we can build on the structures, buildings and cities that already exist, and in a figurative sense, how we can learn from the building culture that has developed over time.

We build inside, outside, around, on top of and next to something that is already there. We are interested in traces, memory, character, weight, density and presence. We work on the basis that an understanding of materials, tectonics and knowledge of architectural theory and history are inseparably connected with a resource-conscious architectural statement.
