Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module the learner should be able to:
LO1 Learners will produce research that investigates the concepts, histories and theories that make places and landscapes culturally significant, within the context of a management plan for the conservation or protection of the constructed and natural heritage. With reference to the Department of Arts Heritage & the Gaeltacht, the National Sustainable Strategy 2006, the Planning & Development Acts 1963 and amendments to the present day, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Spatial Strategy, the National Development Plan and the Heritage Council.
LO2 Learners will create and produce an existing conditions report/ survey report that measures and records an existing natural and constructed heritage site. The report will analyse the heritage site through photography, measured surveys, architectural drawing, model making and analytical reporting.
LO3 Learners will create reports that make reference to best international practice, Unesco (World Heritage Sites), the Council of Europe and the international charters of Venice & Burra.
LO4 Demonstrate an ability to create a heritage management plan that evaluates the concepts and relationships that exist between legislation and the management of the constructed and natural heritage for a given site, with reference to the national and an international context. The management plan will make reference to Department of Arts Heritage & the Gaeltacht, the National Sustainable Strategy 2006, the Planning & Development Acts 1963 and amendments to the present day, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Spatial Strategy, the National Development Plan and the Heritage Council.
LO5 Create and present a physical analytical management plan ready for physical and web publication. The management plan will contain strategies for the restoration and conservation of a constructed or natural heritage. Containing the following,: History/ research & recording the site; Recording of material and structural conditions; Protection, duty of care and retention of historical integrity; Conservation & repair; Legibility access & presentation.
LO6 Learners will prepare professional standard reports & present in a professional manner to their peers and other professionals in a public forum. Learners will keep a learning journal to reflect on personal learning.
