What is the role of heritage conservation in architectural research?

The role of heritage conservation in architectural research is significant, as it involves the preservation and protection of cultural heritage sites and artifacts. Architectural researchers studying heritage conservation play a crucial role in identifying and documenting the historical, cultural, and architectural significance of existing structures. They also work on finding innovative and sustainable ways to maintain and manage those structures, taking into account the unique cultural, social, and economic contexts of the places where they exist. By studying and understanding these structures and their contexts, architectural researchers can contribute to the conservation and eventual sustainable use of these resources, providing insight into how they can continue to be seen as valuable resources for future generations.
