This course investigates and explores the integration between cultural heritage and virtual conservation, specifically towards the objects, deities, sites, and gardens in China. Through the global perspective, the course raises awareness of heritage conservation and critical heritage studies towards the origins and transformations global-wide in the contemporary era. Academic readings and oral presentations revolving around this theme will enhance students’ skills for documentation and restoration through innovative digital techniques. Conservator presentations, field trips, gallery visits, and art projects enable students to communicate with practitioners in the field and examine the values of cultural heritage through a global perspective.
