Minor Program in Conservation
The contemporary theoretical approaches on conservation require a close collaboration between the fields of restoration/conservation and city planning. First phase of this collaboration is the constitution of a shared framework of communication. Minor Program in Conservation for the undergraduate students of city planning aims at giving the basic concepts of conservation as well as their conceptual parameters. This program offers six courses. The courses on the theoretical framework and the legal aspects of conservation are supported by several seminars on varying related topics. The theoretical accumulation of knowledge is tested through a field study in the workshop.Compulsory Courses

Minor Program in Architectural Culture
Architecture is associated with many fields and types of study and learning. While Architects find themselves compelled to be acquainted with them, it seems relevant to think and expect that those in diverse fields be concerned with the relation of their field of knowledge to architecture, to the qualities of the background to our everyday life. In a world where interdisciplinary work is gaining ever-growing importance, many from different disciplines collaborate with architects on studies and projects related with our built environment. An acquaintance with architecture along with their major studies will give them a sound understanding of architecture, and insight into its possible relations to their major subjects and will be instrumental for effective communication and collaboration in the medium of architecture.Compulsory Courses
