Friday Colloquium: Site Development and Preservation

As early as the 1960s, there was a marked increase in the use of the word "area" in the context of construction projects, which currently seems to be repeating itself. The trend towards the development of areas is currently closely following the urban development requirement of recompaction, whereby the added value in terms of economic efficiency and sustainability is always emphasised. But what opportunities and challenges arise from the point of view of monument preservation? In the third Friday Colloquium 2018 of the Institute of Historic Building Research and Conservation at ETH Zürich, we will therefore examine the potential and strategies of monument preservation for site development projects within Switzerland.

In order to be able to plan the aperitif properly, we kindly ask you to register until the 2nd of September 2018 on the German version of our website
