Course Objectives:	The discipline of restoration of monuments is based in architecture, intended in its many-faceted meanings, so contemporary open towards the field of history and towards specific operational techniques. The restoration project embraces humanism, science and technology. The aim of the course is to transfer a right conception of restoration and a consolidate approach of the architectural heritage. The restoration of architectural, archeological, environmental and landscape is divided in 3 steps. These 3 steps are considered a triad: Survey, Analysis (historical-critical) and Restoration Project. Every element of triad justifies and completes itself by the antecedent and the consequent. The main goal of this course is to provide the students with the necessary tools and methodology for operating correctly in the historical context. The first part of the course is focus on the immaterial restoration of the buildings: history, data and collective memory.
