1. To introduce student’s conservation principles and current Legislation and be able include within a conservation report and a planning application. Provide students with an awareness of the changing nature and increasing complexity of the legal and regulatory environment for protected and historic structures, and to be aware of the necessity to seek specialist advice or update knowledge from accredited sources, as appropriate. 2. Introduce students to the recording of historic building fabric for the purpose of a conservation report, using measured survey processes and survey drawings, photographs, and sketches. 3. To introduce students to the research and recording of the fabric of a historic building and to seek information from accredited sources. This information will be included in a conservation report. 4. Introduce students to the process of recording the condition of an historic building and the general care & maintenance for inclusion in a conservation report. 5. To introduce students to traditional building materials and construction techniques; with consideration for the history and evolution of construction technology; and the theory, principles, and science in the technical design process.
