Heritage protection encompasses the conservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse of historically significant buildings, districts, and cultural landscapes. Designers working in this area balance preservation of original character with contemporary needs, addressing the practical and social dimensions of keeping heritage alive.

The community explores case studies ranging from palace conservation and imperial heritage sites to village preservation for endangered ethnic groups and urban fabric revitalization. Projects examine real challenges in heritage protection, from managing paradoxes between preservation and development to implementing culturally sensitive interventions in at-risk communities.

My thesis is the first to take action, aiming to protect these structures through adaptive reuse and cultural tourism. Visitors will experience history through role play, AR/VR, exhibitions, and museum spaces.

ROMAN HUT - roman inspired country club & spa

A project inspired by Britain's rich Roman heritage. Bathhouses were very important places in the life of every Roman. Almost every small town owned them. Bathhouses did not serve exclusively as places for maintaining hygiene, they were very often also a catalyst for the social dynamics of the entire society. Something like a modern country club.
