IN order to tap the growing requirements of professional architects, who could work exclusively on conservation of heritage structures, CEPT University has introduced a new course in architecture this academic year.
Masters programme in Architecture and Urban Conservation, which begins from July, has been formulated with the aim to cater the growing requirements of trained professionals who could work specifically in the direction of conserving ancient heritage especially those that are located in the urban parts of the country that are languishing due to rapid modernisation and lack of proper attention paid to them.
"The idea is not just to achieve conservation of a piece of urban architectural structure but to also restore it while maintaining overall character and culture with modern technology that is handy with us.
Unlike in European countries where restoration is achieved with technological aid, in our country that tradition is an added dimension and also a challenge. The course tries to address all this,’’ said Anjali Kadam, Coordinator of the new course.
The new course was due with the university and that had been sent for approval to the Council of Architectures. This will be the second university in the country to have such specialised course after Delhi’s School of Architecture.
