Research project
This long term project focused on how the recent shift in heritage conceptualisation from static monument to dynamic process has/will impact the role of the built heritage practitioner - in particular the architectural conservationist. Utilising a transdisciplinary approach across a series of case studies and qualitative methods, the project assembled a series of strategies into an overarching model, which captured ways of thinking and doing architectural conservation that could align more with contemporary and critical interpretations of heritage as inherently social, participatory, and intangible. Attention was placed on conceptual and methodological shifts as impetus for empowering practitioners to both disseminate and participate in intangible heritage practices related to physical heritage sites.
