在世界范围内，建筑保护-在保护建筑遗产同时又保持其价值的过程中-采取了不同的做法，有时由于文化和经济方面的限制而根本没有采用。这是一个新兴的工作领域，需要专门的培训和知识来处理其多学科和跨学科的性质。它还需要根据共同的国际原则以及要保护的历史建筑的具体性质和背景，制定一种用于分析和设计干预措施的关键方法。我们需要在建筑保护领域吸引新的人才。与历史建筑一起工作是一种丰富的经验，它结合了设计新建筑的创造性方面以及对完整建筑物及其背景的全面了解所需的深入研究。与历史悠久的建筑打交道对于提高新建筑的设计也是一次很
Architectural conservation is an emerging area of work which requires specialist training and knowledge to deal with its multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary nature. It requires the development of a critical approach for the analysis and design of the intervention, informed by the shared international principles and the specific nature and context of the historic building to be conserved. The course provides a platform for collaboration with both practice and research partners, architectural critique, and discussion and debate. Architectural conservation - the action of conserving built heritage while maintaining its values - is practiced differently across the world, sometimes not at all due to cultural and economic constraints. We need to attract new talent to the field of architectural conservation. To work with historic buildings is an enriching experience, which combines the creative aspects of designing a new building with the in-depth research required to understand in full the building and its context. Working with historic buildings is also a great training to improve the design of new buildings, as you learn a great deal about the importance of design ideas, innovation, durability and care. It is also a very sociable work, interacting with a variety of people from all backgrounds, joining forces in helping current generations to enjoy historic buildings, to create community identities around them, and to transmit the buildings and their values to the future.<br><br>Glasgow and its surrounding area provide an excellent location for the course, with architectural heritage from all periods, from Roman to Medieval, Georgian, Victorian and contemporary, without forgetting the better known Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander Greek Thomson's buildings. Strathclyde has a lively international community of staff and students and we enjoy a privileged position in the centre of Glasgow.
