This Architectural and Landscape Heritage programme from Politecnico di Torin aims at responding to the need, shared by both scientific society and socioeconomic reality – especially in the actual cultural, productive and administrative situation characterising the territory – to train figures of researchers and highly-skilled professionals, in possession of the required critical-historical knowledge of cultural heritage and in general of man-made environment; it also provides students with methodologies and practice of integrated intervention – to be applied both at disciplinary level and in other context in synergic combination with other skills - which represent the corner stones on which any operational approach focusing on compatibility and sustainability is based on.
Architectural and landscape heritage represents a wide area of research on which this programme is focused, recognising that research disciplinary methodologies are also the basis of any form of heritage conservation.
