The Association of Pacific Rim Universities (APRU) will host the fourth APRU University Museums Research Symposium on "Universities and Architectural Heritage" in 2021.
Established in 2012, the symposium brings together participants for the sharing of research and education initiatives concerning the cultural and scientific collections of a network of universities from Asia, Australasia, and the Americas.
This year, the symposium will reflect on the research and preservation of architectural heritage and its place in the urban landscape. Architectural heritage involves multidisciplinary perspectives and collaborations which demonstrate expertise in science, culture, and the environment. Continuity and change have become crucial considerations when looking at our built environment and heritage buildings, as evident in recent examples of public health and climate concerns. The Asia-Pacific landscape especially provides a cross-cultural platform on which developments in architectural heritage research, education and practice can flourish, allowing ideas exchanged during the Symposium among universities, museums, and its collaborators to form a foundation upon which future research can be based.
