The aim of the project is to link two currently underused, but significant units of tangible cultural heritage – the collected items of historical architecture and unused buildings at the National cultural monument´s site in Plasy – for the purpose of protecting them, permanently preserving them, making them accessible to the public and, primarily, using them for education and research.
The Architectural Heritage Centre (AHC) will have several parts, especially following:
Study depositary (with a reference collection of historical building materials, elements and structures), whose purpose is to fill the constantly widening gap in actual knowledge of historical architecture, historical materials, elements and structures, and original building trades and technological procedures. The establishment of this part of the AHC is the subject of the project submitted.
School for historical building trades, which basis will be courses and training designed as additional study areas for practising tradesmen, partially for the professional public.
The AHC will also provide space for meetings of the professional public (conferences, seminars, workshops) and, as a part of its activities, develop its own publication activities and create the basis for deeper scientific and research activities in related areas. The AHC will have a national remit.
