Summary: The main objective of this seminar is to examine the application of both the theoretical and practical tools at our disposal in the process of recognition and management of a site bearing built historical elements. To do this, we will study the process leading to the recognition of a heritage site and the assigning of a legal protection status. We will also look at the different statuses that exist at different levels of government, be it federal, provincial or municipal. We will then identify the tools available for management of a heritage site assuring its protection, conservation, development and promotion. Finally, we will review the rights and obligations attached to heritage buildings and sites protected by legal status.

The second objective of this seminar is to examine the process of recognition and management as it has been applied to certain buildings and sites, as a case study. Different intervention projects on built elements bearing an interest from a heritage point of view, already carried out or still in progress, will be analyzed in parallel with the theoretical notions studied.
