This 3-day workshop from 6th to 8th March 2025, collaboratively being conducted by the Center for Heritage Conservation (CHC) and CEPT Professional Programs (CPP), will introduce its participants to conservation approaches for wooden architectural heritage that form integral and important cultural components of varied historic built environments.
The hands-on engagement with techniques of conservation will be based at the CEPT Conservation Site Schools ‘Kalidas Jethabhai House’ at Dharmaj and House at Nagarvado at Patan in Gujarat. These sites are exquisite examples of wooden heritage, adopted as Conservation Site Schools of the Center for Heritage Conservation (CHC) at CEPT Research and Development Foundation (CRDF), and the owners of the properties.
The program will include sessions by experts in the subject area, hands-on experience with assessment techniques, and discussions of case studies.
The program has been developed and curated by CHC, and CRDF in consultation with CPP. The program content has been curated by Prof. Jigna Desai, Jayashree Bardhan, Nigar Shaikh and Ashna Patel from CHC. The program will be supported with material from CHC’s work for the Endangered Wooden Architecture Programme (EWAP) Grant, hosted by Oxford Brookes University.
