Course Description:	This course is a survey of historic preservation in Albania and examines the theory, philosophy and methods of maintaining the culture of the past.
Course Objectives:	The objective of the course is to make students able to: • recognize the values and significance of cultural, historical and natural heritage; • understand the meaning of heritage and transmission of massages held therein from the past to the future generations; • know the protagonists and the most significant moments of the history and evolution of the discipline of restoration. The academic aim is also to outline the conceptual guidelines and methods for intervention at different time and places. The lessons investigate, in a unitary perspective, the history of the restoration in the major European nations. The lessons follow the chronological criterion, keeping in mind that the cultural orientations do not have a date of birth and death as human beings. The different currents of thought and the different schools are presented through the study of a series of works. Therefore, through this works, we illustrate the many problems to which the history and theory of restoration try to give a solution. The program resumes the theoretical and practical events from the Italian Renaissance to the present debate. Particular attention is dedicated to legislation and international charters. Specifically, the course provides the student with knowledge of the history of the restoration through the analysis of significant experiences and exemplary restorations. The finally objective of the course is to provide the student with the fundamental knowledge and sensitivity to realize a good analysis and a proper restoration project respecting the historic architecture
