Key Summary
Introduction
The conservation, safeguarding and appreciation of heritage is an obligation of the society of our time. In architecture we should not understand by heritage only the immovable property classified as cultural interest (monuments), but also the set of structures that form the context where society has been configured throughout its history.
Today, faced with new challenges (among others, sustainable development), the main challenge of contemporary architecture is knowing how to respond to the growth of our historic cities, respecting the inherited urban landscape without endangering its authenticity or integrity. Conferring the capacity to face this challenge with solvency, through conservation, management actions, or through intervention, is the main objective of the Máster Universitario en Conservación del Patrimonio Arquitectónico taught by the Higher Technical School of Architecture of the UPV since 2006.
Ideal Students
Graduates in Architecture, Technical Architecture or engineering with sufficient knowledge in construction. It is also aimed at graduates from other disciplines such as Fine Arts, Geography and History, History of Art and Tourism.
Admissions
Program Outcome
This master's degree is designed to achieve three broad objectives linked to academic instruction, professional specialisation and introduction to research. Students receive instruction in the fields of conservation and management of architectural heritage to equip them with the professional skills that society entrusts to them through the current Spanish Building Act.
The course programme is based on the Master's Degree in Conservation of Heritage, a UPV degree that has existed since 1989.
