The course addresses buildings of culture-historic value. The course gives knowledge and understanding of, and training in, design having to do with encounters between new and old architecture. The course also focuses on the function, design, material, administration and renewal of buildings. It gives training in how to adapt buildings to contemporary requirements for functions, technical equipment, design and access by physically-handicapped persons. It also examines relevant Swedish legislation, and Swedish demands for care in rebuilding, as well as rebuilding processes.
An architect’s restoration work requires careful preliminary study and great detail in planning, and in its designs it should avoid superficial trends and tendencies.
The course includes: preliminary investigations; modern methods of surveying and estimating damage; capacity analysis and culture-historical evaluation; sketches and reference studies; impact analyses and proposals for remedies; descriptions of buildings, detailed drawings; sample of colours and materials; presentations using modern methods of projection; current Swedish legislation on changes to existing buildings; and international codes and organization.
Grading scale: UG - (U, G) - (Fail, Pass)
Assessment: During the course, constant reference is made to individuals’ levels of knowledge: each gives a preliminary account of his or her work-in-process on a project that is assessed. At the end of the course, each gives in words, drawings and images a final account of this project that the other students assess critically. Successfully to complete the course, a student must attend not less than eighty per cent of the lectures and study visits; actively take part in drawing-office instruction, and preliminary and final assessments; and gain approval for his or her project.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
