Mestrado em Conservação do Patrimônio Arquitetônico

The conservation, safeguarding and appreciation of heritage is an obligation of the society of our time. In architecture we should not understand by heritage only the immovable property classified as cultural interest (monuments), but also the set of structures that form the context where society has been configured throughout its history.

Today, facing new challenges (among others, that of sustainable development), the main challenge for contemporary architecture is knowing how to respond to the growth of our historic cities, respecting the inherited urban landscape without jeopardizing its authenticity or integrity. Conferring the capacity to face this challenge with solvency, through conservation actions, management, or through intervention, is the main objective of the Master's Degree in Conservation of Architectural Heritage that the UPV School of Architecture has taught since 2006.
