General description |
The current program of the School of Architecture of A Coruña includes, in the 5th year, the topic of Intervention in European Heritage assigned to the Department of Architectural Projects, Urbanism and Composition, being a response to the practices of characterization and intervention in our rich and extensive architectural, built and territorial heritage, which in Galicia forms an irreplaceable reality in the identity processes, in the knowledge of the discipline and, therefore, in the training of the students of the Galician school of architecture.
These processes are also essential to deepen our own cultural understanding and the universal history of humanity, as documented and certified by the vast Galician heritage that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List and the Spanish State Register of Cultural Assets and, therefore, from Europe.
The intention of this topic is to indicate essential information, knowledge, criteria, materials and techniques for practices aimed at conservation, restoration and rehabilitation (as they have been systematized mainly from the 18th century to the present), in clear coexistence with legal regulations and administrative procedures that safeguard the actions carried out within the framework of our social and democratic rule of law (through the Constitution, the Statutes of Autonomy and international treaties), which refer to the obligations of access, protection and conservation of the architectural, built and territorial cultural heritage, characterized as such. |
