After successful completion of the course, students are able to analyze elementary principles of clay as a building material in different times and cultures and explore the possibilities of their development in future architectural designs.

The earth building tradition in Iran, and its challenge of restoration/conservation and its possible future development, will be the particular focus of this course. Drawing on many different case studies; heritage places and sites, the course aims to prepare, train and equip students with expertise to be able to understand the processes and principles of earthen construction, characterization, documentation and interpretation and the challenge of restoration and rehabilitation.

2 appreciate key characteristics and the way in which earth is sourced, structures are built, buildings are restored and are reconstructed.
3 understand building archaeology and the challenge of interpretation and management of earthen heritage sites and cities.
