17 international students from the Master of Conservation of Monuments and Sites spent one week in Utrecht and the Randstad (16-22 April 2023). The study trip included the restoration works of Utrecht's medieval cathedral tower, workshops with heritage stakeholders in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Amersfoort, four world heritage sites from the Roman times to the Dutch Golden Age and Modernist avant-garde, adaptive reuse of churches, railroad journeys through polder landscapes, biking in historic city centers, and much more. A very instructive immersion in the values, conservation, and management models of Dutch Heritage.

Kulla are a specific typology of fortified farm houses which can be found on the cross-border region of Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro.

Our students of the “Master of Science in Conservation of Monuments and Sites” conducted their yearly International Workshop in a rural neighborhood in the highlands of the Western Balkans. The workshop focused on Kulla in the Mazrakaj neighborhood in Dranoc, Kosovo.

While the kulla in this specific neighborhood are protected as an architectural ensemble, several past interventions have affected the architectural integrity of these unique vernacular assets, and the area with its rich natural surroundings and community values does not work as a whole.

The International Workshop is a learning experience in close collaboration with local experts and stakeholders in their day-to-day work environment. The workshop learns students how new data or ideas for local built heritage projects can be co-created with local communities in a specific location – in this specific case focusing on the topics of morphology and typology, functional chains and networks and a conservation plan.
