Conservation Without Frontiers
Historic Buildings Of Armagh & Monaghan In Context
Thursday 25th – Saturday 27th June 2015
Following the publication of the South Ulster volume in the Buildings of Ireland series, the Ulster Architectural Heritage Society and the Irish Georgian Society are coming together the first time to provide a cross border summer school, based over three days (25-27th June) in Armagh and Monaghan. This event is for students, enthusiasts and practitioners who want to discuss and debate issues relating to our Irish heritage in the context of the two counties. Leaders of the Summer School will include well known academics, architects, architectural historians, planners, conservation and heritage officers.
Key themes will be:
• Our Cathedrals: ecclesiastical re-ordering and liturgical changes in St. Macartan’s, Monaghan and St.Patrick’s, Armagh, and in the Church of Ireland.
• Planning Our Conservation Areas: conservation areas in the Mall and Market Square, Armagh and architectural conservation areas in Market Square, Church Square, and Main Square, Monaghan.
• Heritage and Housing: regeneration through the restoration of houses in Armagh and the introduction of new housing in Glaslough, Monaghan.
• Community Conservation and Public Regeneration: featuring community conservation projects St.Peter’s, Laragh, and Dartrey Mausoleum; and public regeneration projects Palace Demesne and the Woman’s Prison, Armagh.
