and Samarqand.
Rich
architectural heritage of Uzbekistan
is a broad field for specialists of the construction engineering, architecture,
preservation of monuments, restoration, archeology, art history... In the years
of independence considerable restoration work was carried out. However, a
technological development and, at last but not least, the changes in society,
generate a large number of new tasks and aspects of the interaction. That is
why the organization of the course should contribute to the training of
specialists who will be able to operate in accordance with modern methods and
standards for planning, engineering support and protection of monuments.
