The Conservation Network of EAAE is an open framework that supports Academic relationships based on opportunity for debate about change. It is an integral part of the activities of EAAE, existing wholly within that body and depending on the voluntary participation of people belonging to EAAE member schools. At the same time participation in its activities can be open to schools interested in EAAE membership.
The Network addresses a deep challenge for architectural education, research and practice – the place of the inherited built environment within architecture, its culture, educational systems and pedagogies, and how that culture finds its place within an evolving, globalising societal and cultural milieu.
The primary activities of the Network are structured around international workshops, held every two years. These workshops focus on key questions within the field of conservation of the built inheritance. There have been 6 workshops so far, beginning in Genoa in 2007, followed by Dublin (2009), Bucharest (2011), Rome (2013), Hasselt/Liege (2015) and A Coruna/Santiago de Compostela (2017). The next one is anticipated for Autumn 2019.
