Danube University Krems, Austria
In case Covid pandemic is ongoing we will hold the seminar as a zoom meeting. In case the pandemic is over in Austria we will have part zoom meeting for anyone who wants to participate but cannot travel to Austria.
Based on her many years’ research into the conservation theory, (1-9), and
our ongoing co-operation with Institut Seni Indonesia, Yogyakarta (10), Patricia Engel, scientific staff member of Department for Building and Environment at Danube University Krems, Austria, will hold a workshop on the ways of applying or adapting the European conservation theory to Indonesian cultural setup.
The workshop will not only seek to find a path towards a new conservation theory appropriate for Indonesia, but will also allow for discussion of problem points in the European conservation theory. Another result will be a theoretical scheme of approaching the issue that can hopefully be applied to many cases.
Mandatory requirement for launching this work is discussing the terms and
definitions that have been in circulation so far and have not been applied
consistently.
