The subject field is generally referred to as ‘conservation and transformation’, in which ‘conservation’ deals with the processes that can take a building back to its original technical and aesthetic condition, and ‘transformation’ describes the processes that carry a building forward towards renewed technical and aesthetic content.
Due to the subject field’s development in practice, the Department has chosen to expand the designation to ‘Cultural Heritage, Transformation and Restoration’. Today, it has become the rule, rather than the exception that architectural assignments within cultural heritage represent a smooth transition between these concepts.
