ARCH 604 - Historic Preservation Documentation

3 hours.
3 Credits

This course is an advanced seminar/studio, designed to train students in the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) techniques through supervised reading, fieldwork, and writing. Course work introduces students to the skills needed to conduct research, photograph and document both in written and graphic form. Emphasizing efficiency and accuracy in its consideration of sources, methods and techniques, discussion helps students develop reasonable research questions and carefully evaluate evidence. To test the approaches and sample the sources introduced during the semester, students in the seminar participate in a research project to document a particular historic structure or group of historic structures.
