The Conservation and Reuse programme’s emphasis reaches beyond buildings to include landscapes, environments and wider material culture, both tangible and intangible. Its curriculum explores historical and theoretical frameworks of conservation, encouraging students to engage with questions of value and heritage from a critical standpoint and grounding their work in awareness of the ‘spheres of implication’ in which objects and buildings are embedded. This enquiry takes place alongside practical investigations into new and established construction techniques for making and remaking, and a focus on developing practical skills. The programme fosters future-orientated practice by considering how regulatory frameworks, commercial attitudes and practical actions could be transformed by a better understanding of the factors that influence what we choose to conserve, and how we do so. Students synthesise theoretical, technical and practical knowledge in a design thesis targeting a situation of their choice, taking responsibility for a rich existing environment and exploring how it could change.
The programme offers Master of Arts (MA) and Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) pathways, with two modes of study for each: a 12-month programme for full-time students and a 24-month programme for part-time students. Each pathway comprises six core modules of lectures, seminars, clinics, workshops and tutorials. The MA pathway concludes with a seventh module, the design thesis. The programme welcomes students from a range of professional or academic backgrounds, including architects, historians, archaeologists, artists and engineers, as well as those with multidisciplinary experience.
