concepts for conserving a historic monument designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and proposals for implementation

This course is devoted to the subject of the conservation of modernist monuments in the 20th century.
To this end, in the first part of the course we will study successful conservations of impor- tant monuments like Isokon House, London, ADGB-Schule, Bernau, Villa Tugendhat, Brno, Apartment + Studio of Le Corbusier, Paris, Nationalgalerie, Berlin, or Sydney Opera House.

On this basis, we will then study the most fundamental conceptual approaches as well as the most relevant operational practices, from initial observation to final implementation.

Finally, an attempt will be made to apply the knowledge gathered so far and - at the very least - formulate a plan for the conservati- on of a monument that fell out of use a few years ago and is now in danger of deteriorating.
