Main themes
The teaching of the ‘Architecture and Heritage’ orientation aims to confront students with the interaction between the physical and cultural conditions of the architectural project in a pre-existing building. Opportunities for linking this field of study to university research focus particularly on a transdisciplinary vision of the knowledge and understanding of the physical state of a building, as well as on the methodology of intervention and the integration of the project into this pre-existing structure.
