    This three-day course (presented online over 6 mornings) is aimed at

    guiding professionals and lay people who need to engage with the
    heritage and local planning authorities; and it is designed to introduce
    course participants to the history and theory of architectural and
    urban conservation and to uncover the operation of those ideas in
    current conservation practice in South Africa. The course aims to
    introduce and develop the participants’ knowledge of the principles
    and methods of sound conservation practice. On completion of the
    course participants will be able to:
    • Understand the ideas underpinning architectural and urban
    conservation
    • Understand the relationship between these ideas and principles of
    practice that have developed (as expressed in national and
    international charters)
    • Recognise the expression of these ideas and principles in the South African legislation
    • Understand the relationship between ideas about architectural and urban conservation and the
    processes of identifying heritage resources and assessing their significance
    • Recognise the adoption of these ideas and principles in practice

    The contents of the course will include:


    • an introduction to the history of the ideas and theories of architectural and urban conservation
    • a brief introduction to certain national and international charters
    • a grounding in the principles of conservation practice
    • an introduction to the South African legislation and the current administrative practices
    • an introduction to the research techniques and sources used in this multi-disciplinary practice

    The course will benefit all who are involved in conservation practice and heritage management and
    others involved or interested in the regulation of development. This includes architects, planners,
    heritage practitioners of all disciplines (archaeologists, historians, etc), heritage managers or
    administrators and NGO-activists. The course is widely applicable and designed to satisfy the multi-
    disciplinary nature of conservation practice and heritage resource management.
