Report: Second Workshop "Conservation / Transformation"

Abstract

This workshop builds on the workshop held in Genoa in 2007. The theme to be addressed is “transformation”, acknowledging that what is conserved is no longer what it was before intervention. The workshop is experimental – participants are asked, through the medium of real sites, to reflect on some key issues that impact on conservation/restoration practice and theory and on how these may be explored in teaching. The ambition is to create a discursive atmosphere as a contribution to the reflective papers of the participants
