Conservation Science and Technology focuses on the methodologies and technologies used in preserving historical structures and artifacts. Participants will engage in hands-on projects that emphasize the integration of scientific principles with practical applications in the field of historic preservation. The course is structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of conservation techniques, material analysis, and the latest technological advancements that support sustainable practices in architecture and design.
Throughout the program, learners will explore a variety of topics that bridge theory and practice. By collaborating on real-world projects, participants will not only enhance their technical skills but also develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities essential for the conservation sector. The course encourages participants to publish their findings and experiences in Cademix Magazine, fostering a community of knowledge sharing and professional growth.
