Conservation of Architectural Heritage

The conference will be held in Luxor and Aswan, which are two landmarks of the Egyptian architectural heritage, where history and beauty come together to create a beautiful background for the conference. Nestled along the banks of the Nile River, and known as the world's greatest open-air museum, Luxor offers a large number of monuments, temples, and tombs that portray the beauty and allure of ancient Egypt. Aswan on the other hand, known for its natural beauty and iconic sights like the iconic Philae Temple and the high dam, captivates everyone's attention and guarantees an amazing fun time among the people of Aswan. These two cities embody the essence of Egypt's rich heritage offering participants and attendees of the conference an unmatched experience.

the conference is not only going to talk about heritage but also about how to interpret and preserve it considering diversity of scales, typologies, uses, periods of construction, and state of conservation, as well as how to link it to the broader topics of sustainability, accessibility and assessment of values. In doing so, the conference is going to start by identifying concepts and topics of cultural heritage and its subtle link with the communities and/or the environment.

The conference has proven its success year by year, and this 9th edition, held in collaboration with the University of Portsmouth and the University of Cagliari is going to stand out by discussing all the Art and Science of Heritage.

Selected papers of the conference will be published in a book series under the title of Advances in Science, Technology, & Innovation (ASTI) by Springer. Others will be published in the Resource dings journal by IEREK Press. Best papers will have the opportunity to be published in the Architecture MDPI Journal.
