Learning unit contents

In this anniversary year, the course will take as its starting point the Venice Charter (1964), an essential document in the evolution of principles and practices in the field of heritage on a global scale over the last sixty years.


The Venice Charter has now been largely overtaken by the contemporary challenges faced by a much broader heritage than that for which it was conceived, but it remains a reference point in some cases, and above all a common point of reference for professionals and researchers in the field.


The aim of the seminar will be to produce a critical reading of the document in the light of contemporary issues facing heritage in the broadest sense, and a collaborative and experimental rewriting of its principles, illustrated by concrete cases.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

By the end of this course, students will be able to think critically about a topical heritage issue, and more specifically to research, investigate, structure and present their thoughts in collaboration with their peers.
