As architectural practices shift from building new to transforming the buildings that are already there, architects need to know the legal framework and administrative regulations as well as the planning principles and management guidelines regarding the existing building stock.
Also, basic building-cultural understanding and modes of cooperation are of pivotal importance in every successful project. In response, this course gives an intensive introduction to the terms and conditions, management and practices of sustainable building culture and architectural heritage as seen in a Danish context. A compendium in the form of a list of links to relevant websites will be distributed before the beginning of the course.
