IEREK seeks to address the complex challenge of conserving architectural heritage through this conference to increase the awareness of how citizens value and save our heritage more effectively.
This presentation by Percy Summers from Conservation International Peru shows how REDD+ Benefit Sharing can work based on a case study in Alto Mayo. This presentation was held on December 2 during the COP20 event "Linking Policy and Practice: Approaches to REDD + Benefit Sharing" in Lima, Peru which was hosted by The Forests Dialogue.

Conservation of the Urban Heritage to Conserve the Sense of Place, a Case Stu...drboon
The sense of place can only be achieved if the urban heritage is still intact and preserved whilst accommodating for new development. In the past Misurata city center where the traditional areas and historical significance are located did not have any positive consideration and appreciation from government which, were destroyed to build a new commercial buildings within business district area of city center. This paper intends to highlight on urban heritage "historical significance & activity pattern" that still survive in the city center of Misurata and reflects the sense of place. The study adapted the visual survey field method for data collection and this approach adopted techniques namely photograph and diagrams or maps. The results of the study indicate that there are some urban areas and buildings with historical or traditional significance and conducive sense of belonging and identity that must be renewed, restored, reused and conserved; for instance the marketplace, Allfah Square and the old city center.

HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE EDUCATION: POTENTIALS AND LIMITATIONS FOR A BETTER DE...Iman Gawad
Lately, the study of 'History of architecture' courses has lost its vitality and importance, and has become far too ignored from the current architectural design debates. Students in different schools of architecture, especially in architectural institutions with limited resources, are expected to associate History and Theory subjects with Design challenges. This does not always happen dependably and if it does, it is not attributed to educational studies and methodical teaching practices. Therefore, the process of teaching History of architecture, with the need of reinstating its relevance to solving design problems, must actively re-adjust its focus to give students opportunities to analyze more rather than learn by heart the history of the world architecture. The questions are: “How can history of architecture's courses respond to this challenge?” and “How can history teachers apply new teaching strategies to relate more to the design courses and projects?” With answers to these questions and guidance into these arguments, university educators can help students make sense of studying different courses of the history of architecture as well as benefiting from lessons of the past in their current design projects.
The research begins with reference to successful teaching pedagogies and education in history of architecture courses and continues with the author’s personal teaching experiences in different history of architecture courses in several national and private universities in Egypt. The author proposes a number of re-visualisation of different exercises and assignments adopted in history classes with the aim of translating them into ones that account for students being able to tackle their own design studio problems and use history as a tool to find answers to questions that emanate from their own design experiences.

Exploring Links between Research and Teaching in Higher EducationProf Simon Haslett
A presentation by Professor Simon Haslett, Associate Pro Vice-Chancellor of the University of Wales. The presentation is part of the HEA Research Seminar/Webinar Series, 11th June 2013, at The Higher Education Academy, York. This seminar examines the ways in which research and teaching may be linked in academic practice in Higher Education. It seeks to unravel the various linkages through scholarship, research (both subject-based and pedagogic) and curriculum. The presentation draws upon the presenters’ recent experience as a leader in learning and teaching in Wales, including the activity and contribution of the Research-Teaching Nexus Action Set, and the current challenges to forging and maintaining research-teaching links in Higher Education. He also provides examples of research-teaching links from his own professional practice.
