Course content and objectives
The need for preservation, conservation, and rehabilitation of heritage sites is not new, however working as an expert in the restoration sector is a relatively young specialization in architecture worldwide. In the changing scenario of uncertainty in the world, enhanced efforts to preserve the cultural and architectural heritage for the next generation are required. The Master's Program 'Architectural and Cultural Heritage' is the formal teaching approach in this area. We endeavor to develop new knowledge, raise new questions based on the changing contexts, while at the same time equip ourselves with the best practices in the sector of Building Restoration. Our program is a amalgamation of Theory, Design, and Research and is closely connect with the region's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments in Saxony-Anhalt and the State Archives in Saxony-Anhalt.

Welcome
Dear Students,
The master program "Architectural and Cultural Heritage" is intended for students who have an interest in architecture, culture, history, and restoration. It is a course created in a combination of studies about artistic qualities and the scientific understanding which is needed and developed further in this field.
Many of our cities derive their quality from their historical structures and buildings, which were created in this context. To understand and update these situations regarding conservation and optimization is the most important task for the preservation of the quality of the cities and the construction of buildings all over the world.
The subject is an interesting dialogue between cultures. The location of Dessau is particularly suitable for this discussion. In and around Dessau, there are no less than four UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Besides, there are significant cathedrals and castles in the area, which can serve as well as practical examples for teaching purposes.
On the other hand, Germany has lost a lot of heritage. For forty years now, this has made people very sensitive about this topic. They developed a very detailed understanding of the legal and technical aspects of the preservation of their cities and monuments. Thus the standard is very high, making the location interesting again regarding this understanding. In other words, learning by doing.
We invite international students not to copy what has been done in Germany but to learn by researching with us both on these buildings and monuments in their home countries. The idea is to help students to find their position in the fields of restoration and conservation.
We welcome the students to work with us to understand and develop the knowledge in the history of buildings along with renovation and design strategies for the future.
In short, you are cordially invited to participate and learn what is appropriate for the field of “Architectural And Cultural Heritage”.
We look forward to seeing you in Dessau!
Sincerely
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rudolf Lückmann

H1.1 Theory of Monumental Heritage
An introduction to German history and culture is offered to program participants in the first semester as a way to facilitate their way around Germany. Proper information from museums, archives, and literature is part of the basic knowledge required in heritage conservation. The conservator must be able to analyze and inventory a monument. To enter into the professional discourse, the motivation, history, and management of monuments in various countries will be analyzed and different laws for the protection of historic monuments and art heritage will be discussed. Many people consider the reconstruction of monuments as a sort of conservation, which means that this issue has to be fully analyzed and understood. Furthermore, there are always different societal interests as well as those of builders, architects, and preservationists which must be taken into account. Because the course of history never stops, we need strategies to find out how to develop cultural heritage in the future. For this reason, designing in a historical.

H1.2 Theory of Architecture I
In this seminar, the main function of buildings as habitat is covered. The concept of housing varies over historical periods. Current and historical floor plans reflect their societies and the way people lived together. Whether they were young or old or separated men from women, houses had different characteristics. Large and small families lived together in different orders. If there were old, splitter or quartering could be reproduced in the arrangement of rooms. Residential buildings were often made of perishable materials, mostly wood. Therefore, in this semester design is covered parallel to the material. Teachers analyze exemplary house landscapes. Also, the students examine the function and age of furniture and inventory the features of the interior. The Timberwork-Center Quedlinburg brings the potential of the world's cultural heritage in the course. The semester is completed with an excursion to the city.

T1.1 Techn. Fundamentals of Monumental Heritage
Alongside humanities dimensions, preservation requires several technical skills. This includes technical drawing and the use of surveying equipment. Students will survey and analyze historical buildings. A room book completes the recording of the different monuments. The data enables virtual reconstructions and three-dimensional representations of the structures.
Also, knowledge of the special ground features, building materials science, building physics and building construction in heritage conservation will be covered in the seminar, as will the importance of color concepts in historical buildings. -
T1.2 Build. Methods & Structures Made Organic Mat.
Parallel to the seminar in humanities, the technique of wood-based materials it is also analyzed. The differences in material, texture, and pests are discussed. The C-14 method, dendrochronology, endoscopy, and thermography are basic techniques for the analysis and dating of wooden materials. The development of wood construction is mediated in detail using the construction of post-column structures, the headrail construction, and log constructions. Students learn how timber-work can be renovated. The history of trusses and their representation are also introduced in this seminar. We pay special attention to the particular importance of color in medieval towns.
2nd Semester

H2.1 Garden Heritage Preservation
The first part of the 2nd Semester focuses on the preservation of historic gardens. Beginning with the wonders of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon several examples of the ancient world are discussed. In medieval Europe, monastery gardens had a lasting effect. The expression of the Huguenots garden is one example. Aside from the design, they were conceived as a particular fruit and vegetable garden. In this context, they were also used for funerals. This development is traced to the new Friedwald-concept. In the Renaissance and Baroque more representative installations are found, and labyrinths were introduced as a special design. In all cultures, gardens have a special significance, as they have in China, Japan, India, and many other countries. Britain was able to implement this knowledge and shaped a new typology in the 18th Century with the English gardens. Orangery and zoo gardens implied expression of this development. An enlightened duke formed a garden kingdom in Anhalt-Dessau that was an example for the rest of the continent. Only the nouveau garden and the gardens of the modern age contributed to new ideas. Of particular importance are state and national gardens. In future concepts, industrial areas will also be incorporated.
-
H2.2 Theory of Architecture II
"When mankind built in stone, they did it for the gods or the godlike". Stone buildings were not common as a part of the nature of a landscape and they were often a representative expression of the thinking of an era. It is significant that almost all older wooden temples in subsequent periods "petrified". Should men or his gods survive beyond their normal lifespan in a building, the stone was the preferred material. Sacred buildings are determined by religious concepts learned while interacting with their architecture. Still today builders love proclaiming this concept by constructing towers for a bank or insurance company. Only military buildings have to be understood differently. Their development will be analyzed from the prehistoric fortifications, from castles to modern fortifications.
-
T2.1 Techn. Fund. of Garden Heritage Perservation
Historic gardens require basic plant knowledge. Flowers, grasses, shrubs, and trees require different conditions. They have to be seen in connection with the soil, water, and weather. Potential pest damage must be prevented. Garden tools help keep the plants in good condition. The use of water in the form of fountains and ponds will be covered. Cemetery and zoo gardens present their own set of challenges and require maintenance tailored to their specific conditions. Similarly, landscape furniture and color concepts are presented alongside the Basics of historic gardens.
-
T2.2 Build. Methods & Structures of Inorganic Mat.
To build in natural stone, students need to know about geology and its possible uses. Stone-masons created tools that made it possible to process hard materials. A lot of technical rules have to be taken into account. In landscapes without natural stones, the clay would be used and transformed into bricks. They have their characteristics, but are similar in many details and allow certain architectural elements such as arches and vaults and many other examples. The Baroque incorporated false vaults, stucco and stucco lustro. To deal with the massive buildings, students must learn to work with mortar and plaster. In religious buildings, the color had a particular role and will be specifically analyzed.

H3.1 Designing of the City
The Enlightenment opened the door for industrialization which was first adopted by England. Many early buildings with steel structures, concrete structures, and steel buildings are a testament to this change. Many researchers consider the French Revolution and its architecture as the birth of modernity. This period was, however, only looking for new forms. Its first expression was to be seen in the Palladian Classicism or in the Neo-Gothic in England. The Anhalt-Dessau region was a pioneer in adopting this style within the continent. This development ultimately led to eclecticism (historicism) and eventually, irrelevance. French Art Deco or Art Nouveau was not a sustainable breakthrough. The change in Europe was produced by the classic modernism with influences from Asia and America. One of the icons of this time is the Bauhaus in Dessau. Neo-classicism could not stop its move forward. Excursions to the Bauhaus-archive, to Gropius and van der Rohe buildings, enrich the teachings of this semester.

H3.2 Theory of Architecture III
Over the last 10,000 years, humanity took several great strides in its development.
In the first step, they evolved from hunters and gatherers to farmers. This was followed by a significant concentration of the population, which led to regional differences in settlement forms. Sometimes settlements were established through specific planning. Cities appeared as a consequence of craftsmen's specialization and as a result of new services and trade. Industrialization increased efficiency, which led to a concentration of the population in cities, rather than in the countryside. Cities need more services that qualify as another kind of specialization (for example, the city hall, hippodrome, amphitheater, theater, hospital, etc.). Urban structures express the form in which power and society are organized. The first mega-cities will be analyzed according to their origins and evolution. The medieval European town changed drastically with the abolition of the defense (structure or quarters.) Together with population growth as a result of industrialization block quarters were compressed. The Charter of Athens tried to propose new perspectives for modern urban planning. In the coming decades, however, its limits will be met and must be updated. Here, the monuments need to be assessed, as they are a change in the ensemble. Future concepts do not see growth everywhere. Inhabited places and the handling of memorial structures will be a future.

T3.1 Technical Fundamentals of Modernity
New building materials were introduced into the industry. Although not new discoveries, their use in larger amounts in construction was new to the industry. As early as the 19th century the technology of iron and steel could be used for skyscrapers. New technologies accelerated the production of glass and breakthroughs in building materials were made with the fusion of steel and concrete. Progressively many materials, usually made of plastic, have been added. These materials are fundamental to the restoration of modern buildings. Similarly, the preservation of the early monuments of modernity implies a special challenge. Colors were treated differently than in previous eras.
-
T3.2 Building Methods & Structures in the City
Cities have a lot of infrastructures that are relevant for monument conservation. Historical road construction can complete a monument complex. The infrastructure of mass transit systems such as trains, trams, and underground railways can be interesting for a monumental status. One subject of the seminar is the restoration of historic train stations, etc. Access to a water supply ranging from Roman aqueducts to modern water towers ensured survival in the cities. In case of fire, the fire department needed to have access to it. Likewise, contaminated water was remitted.
Wind and water mills to grind grain and oil or to pump water were part of the cities. The street lighting of the town was early secured. Many aspects of the technical heritage will be addressed in this seminar. It provides an overview of the environmental issues that affect cities and the role monuments play in this discussion.
