Teaching Restoration Methodology: Role of Scientific Contributions in the Conservation of Architectural Heritage

Abstract

The paper explains how the subjects of the Restoration discipline are taught in the Faculty of Architecture (University of Palermo) that promoted the activation of specific degrees in the Palermo University Athenaeum. The teaching methodology is supported by a powerful tool that is the applied work of research, developed by the Laboratorio di Indagini e Restauro dei Beni Architettonici L.I.R.B.A. “Salvatore Boscarino”. The pedagogy of teaching sets out with the basic level formation and develops up to the acquisition of the necessary knowledge and experiences for the conservation planning and the direction of the correlated site.
