Conservation of Traditional Buildings is a practically focused introduction to the techniques and bodies of knowledge essential to conserving traditional buildings and their materials. Expert conservation architects and tradespeople will describe techniques in conservation and lead practical demonstrations of building and conservation techniques. Students will document and investigate a traditional building by undertaking a recording and condition assessment. In the unit we will consider the causes and forms of decay that compromise buildings and their materials and discuss appropriate modes of intervention. By the end of the unit you will be familiar with: the composition of mortars and renders; the sources and qualities of common building stone; basic characteristics of traditional carpentry among other key techniques and materials.
