Description
This module will provide the legal, theoretical, conceptual and practical knowledge of architectural conservation and provides the opportunity to explore architecture conservation in a broad-based manner through case studies and practical work, with particular emphasis on the built heritage of towns and landscapes in the West of Ireland.
The module will set out the various international conventions relevant to the conservation of the built and natural landscape, and will explore the legislative context framing conservation in Ireland, as well as the statutory bodies, and the frameworks within which they operate and their roles in the conservation process.
It will provide a critical approach to conservation through analysis of buildings and historic rural and urban landscapes, and outlines practical conservation practice through a series of case studies.

Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques. This will include online lectures (via adobe connect or similar), and guest lectures augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach addresses student learning needs. Moodle will be used to upload educational material (i.e. presentations and recordings of online lectures plus supplementary reading material) and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals). This blended approach brings students together to facilitate group learning.
Module Assessment Strategies
Formative assessment deliverables address the module learning outcomes.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat assessment will be dependent on failed components. This will be confirmed at formal exam boards.
