Introduction

The conservation, preservation and appreciation of heritage is an obligation for contemporary society. In architecture we should not only understand heritage as being immovable property of cultural interest (monuments), but also the combined structures that make up the context that has shaped society throughout its history.

Today, faced with new developments (including sustainable development), the main challenge of contemporary architecture is to be able to respond to the growth of our historic cities, respecting the inherited cityscape without compromising its authenticity or integrity. The main objective of the Master's Degree in Preservation of Architectural Heritage, offered by the UPV School of Architecture since 2006, is to equip students to consistently meet this challenge, through conservation, management, or intervention.

Objectives

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.
