Testing the Waters: Conserving Historic Landscapes Training
Tuesday, November 4th, 2008Hello AILA folk!
We are considering the marketability of a Graduate Certificate (4 units or subjects) in Conservation of Historic Landscapes, or something similar.
I know I would love be involved in teaching it! Is anyone interested in studying it?
I trained at the University of York (MA-Conservation Studies 1990) which has informed my practice as a heritage consultant and a teacher. Professor Gini Lee has joined us here at QUT and we would be the chief staff involved, with special appearances by other QUT staff as needed.
I envisage lots and lots of expert guest lecturers which was the model at York. We want to make it solidly practical with an emphasis on conservation plans prepared through design studios investigating REAL historic landscapes.
Interested anyone?
Dr. Jeannie Sim, QUT, Brisbane.
