Application deadline: 6 July 2007
The countries in the Asia-Pacific region are blessed with a wealth
of cultural properties, and most of them have outstanding value
in the world. However, many Asia-Pacific countries urgently need
to preserve, restore, and manage those irreplaceable cultural properties
through appropriate data analysis as well as thorough investigation
and research in order to pass on them to future generations. In
response to such a situation, ACCU has been continuously implementing
a number of programmes on preservation and restoration of cultural
heritage since 2000 under the joint auspices of ICCROM and Agency
for Cultural Affairs, Japan, for the purpose of building professional
capacity in the Asia-Pacific region. This training programme aims
to provide participants with the latest methods and techniques on
research, conservation, restoration, and management of historic
wooden structures.
Objective
The objectives of the course are to:
- provide participants with a knowledge of recording/documentation
and analytical methods for wooden architecture;
- provide participants with a knowledge of principles and methodologies
for preservation of wooden structures;
- provide participants with a practical knowledge of technology/techniques
and hands-on training for preservation and restoration of wooden
structures;
- provide participants with a knowledge of maintenance, utilization,
and risk management of historical wooden structures;
- provide participants with an opportunity to network with colleagues
from the region and share experiences.
