EPoCH 2024. Documentation Practices and Critical Reflection in Heritage Conservation.
Each year, EPoCH conference will explore a specific theme, providing a focused yet diverse exploration of critical issues into an intertwining tapestry of intellectual inquiry.
This years’ inaugural conference will focus on heritage documentation processes. The importance and functionality of documentation processes for heritage study, preservation and intervention entails essential reflective and critical thinking for the implementation and development of documentation practices that support access, permanence, and respect for heritage, while maintaining observance of fundamental values such as its authenticity and value.
The objectives of this inaugural conference are to establish a dialogue between all actors in this research area and to reflect on the various proposals and approaches, implemented or in the development. Our goal is to foster discussions, establish connections between theory and practice, investigate the processes, methods, techniques, and tools, aiming to advance this field in the definition of specific solutions with consequent impact on the entire community to respond to the immense challenges and needs in the field of documentation of heritage from the past, of the present and into the future.
