Please join us on-campus in June for:

Industrial Heritage (HA 489A)

June 17-22, 2013; on-campus offering

Instructor: Lorne Simpson

Industrial plants can bring with them a series of challenges both from a technical and philosophical perspective. This course will examine the nature of industrial sites and review the various approaches to their conservation. It develops a technique for analyzing and understanding the processes and products of an industrial plant to allow the establishment of their appropriate values and significance - the underpinning of preparing a conservation program. The course will examine the issues surrounding industrial sites through the use of case studies and a field trip to provide firsthand experience.

Through this course, participants will develop their ability to:

" analyze an industrial site and learn to establish the values and significance associated with it;
" examine the site from a cultural landscape perspective and the often broad and complex relationship(s) that exist within its surroundings;
" identify techniques for the recording and documentation of industrial sites;
" create a condition assessment of extant equipment as well as building structures;
" evaluate the best use potential of the site from simple stabilization through to interpretation and adaptive reuse; and
" prepare a conservation master plan.
