AboutAbout the lab
Bringing past forms back to life through research
The Architectural World Heritage Lab studies the history of architecture and cities of all times and places.
Its goal is to bring back their past appearance by surveying and documenting historic buildings and architectural drawings, and by translating and annotating texts.
Believing that academic exchange with related fields, not only architecture, is essential, the lab aims to train people who are not bound by conditions such as humanities versus sciences or domestic versus international.
The lab has international students and students with prior work experience.
