About
ARCSV
(Architecture
and Historic Preservation)
The Graduate Institute of Architecture
and Historic Preservation
was founded in 2002, which is the only cross-field institution
offering professional graduate programs of architecture and
historic preservation and architectural history in north Taiwan.
As a newly established school, we aim at developing
an
interdisciplinary major encompassing architectural history,
historical archaeology and preservation program as well as
to bring together the beginning and advanced students of
historic preservation with faculty and community leaders.
We encourage the spirit of regional preservation of historic sites,
artifacts, and cultures that will reflect ongoing trends nationwide;
and to foster involvement with preservation activities and various
other organizations, departments, schools and programs.
We urge ourselves to take a leading role in articulating the
studies and research in preservation administration, planning and
education, architectural conservation, adaptive use and economic
development, architectural and cultural resource management.
Our ultimate goal is to grow into one of the main international
organizations in the field of Historic Preservation.
The Architecture and Historic Preservation
program has counted
among its faculty and lecturers a number of distinguished visiting
professors. The current director of the Architecture and Historic
Preservation is Dr. Lin who has great experience in local and
international preservation. Professor Lin is responsible for
academic instruction in historic preservation, the development of
new courses and inter-departmental coordination. Our faculty and
staff are also active members of a number of other local, national
and international preservation organizations.

Our Program
The program offers students intensive, practical, community-
oriented, professional experience and teaches students to consider
multiple and often conflicting viewpoints on the value of historic
and cultural resources. Along with the coursed offered, students are
encouraged to have a practical internship or student exchange during
the vacations. A strong emphasis is placed on community-based
projects through linkages with local, national and international
groups, organizations and agencies.
Our Goals
The primary education goal is the development of a long-term
professional perspective bolstered by training in appropriate skills.
The core of our curriculum is the training of professionals in the
understanding of historic architecture, artifacts and landscapes, their
ability to read and argue for the important lessons historic buildings
uniquely offer as public objects.
＊ To cultivate students an awareness of the contribution that
historic resources make to the quality of environments and to the
quality of life available to the general populace.
