Summary
A groundbreaking initiative in the conservation of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, 'Proyecto Tetuán,' demonstrates how research and education can synergistically preserve historical architecture. Focusing on the Medina of Tétouan—a 1997-listed site renowned for its exceptional preservation—this project integrates fieldwork by the AEDIFICATIO research group with undergraduate teaching in Architecture Technical studies. By designing and implementing targeted activities within the historic center, it bridges the gap between academic learning and practical conservation efforts, offering a model for sustainable heritage management. The approach underscores the Medina's dual role as both a living cultural landscape and an educational laboratory, contributing to global discussions on preserving built heritage while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
