ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVATION [ARC 2333]
A process through which the material, historical, and design integrity of mankind's built heritage are prolonged through carefully planned interventions.
PRESERVATION: KEEPING CULTURAL PROPERY FROM BEING DESTROYED
REHABILITATION : TO MAKE OLD BUILDING REUSABLE RESTORATION: REVIVING THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT AND FABRIC TO ITS ORIGINAL KNOWN STATE
RECONSTRUCTION: REBUILDING WHAT WAS THERE
REPLICATION: IMITATING WHAT PREVIOUSLY EXISTED
RELOCATION : MOVING BUILDING OR MONUMENT FOR ECONOMIC OR GEORAPHICAL REASONS
ADAPTIVE RE-USE: CHANGING BUILDING MAIN FUNCTION WHILE MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL FORM AND CHARACTER
MAINTENANCE : CONTINUOUS CARE AND PROTECTION
Project 1 involved the compilation of measured drawings of an historic building. In this case, the building was the Courthouse Museum in Perak. Furthermore, it was required to write a report counting the history of the building.
For project 2, we were assigned to produce a dilapidation survey of a specific building, meaning that we had to evaluate the state of building defects. Based on our observations, we had to produce a report containing annotated photographic study diagnosing building defects. The chosen building is found in Kuala Lumpur, neighbouring the Sin Sze Si Ya Temple.

Project 3 require students to propose for potential new usage for building conservation. It will require students to investigate and observe practices and approaches on architecture conservation in Malaysia. Students are to organize trips to several sites in order to explore, comprehend and form opinion which subsequently captured in a proposal statement and illustrated diagrams.
Learning Outcomes
1. To gain exposure to a wide and diverse range of practice and debate in the field
2. To develop understanding and appreciation through the undertaking of case studies of buildings and sites in Malaysia , and , beyond, about the importance of historical and heritage buildings
