Industrial Heritage (HA 489A)

June 17-22, 2013; on-campus offering

Instructor: Lorne Simpson

Industrial plants can bring with them a series of challenges both from a technical and philosophical perspective. This course will examine the nature of industrial sites and review the various approaches to their conservation.  It develops a technique for analyzing and understanding the processes and products of an industrial plant to allow the establishment of their appropriate values and significance - the underpinning of preparing a conservation program.  The course will examine the issues surrounding industrial sites through the use of case studies and a field trip to provide firsthand experience.

Through this course, participants will develop their ability to:

• analyze an industrial site and learn to establish the values and significance associated with it;
• examine the site from a cultural landscape perspective and the often broad and complex relationship(s) that exist within its surroundings;
• identify techniques for the recording and documentation of industrial sites;
• create a condition assessment of extant equipment as well as building structures;
• evaluate the best use potential of the site from simple stabilization through to interpretation and adaptive reuse; and
• prepare a conservation master plan.

Fee: CAD $693 (Canadian funds, credit and non-credit participation options) including a CAD$75 materials fee and a CAD$100 tuition/registration deposit is required with each registration form. The tuition balance of CAD$518 is due on or before the first day of the course. UVSS Fees will also be assessed to credit students only.  Please be aware that tuition fees are scheduled to increase slightly in May 2013.

Registration deadline: May 20, 2013; late registrations accepted if space permits.
