The EDICULA project seeks to promote multidisciplinary and multi-sectoral learning, combining hands-on experiences and theoretical studies. It offers an innovative approach to the safeguarding of built heritage and is part of the wider concepts of heritage preservation and sustainable development studied within the heritage and conservation track in the Bezalel Graduate Program in Urban Design. This international event is part of the EDICULA project, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. It will present the challenges in documenting and interpreting multicultural sites in the process of protecting monuments, based on the innovative knowledge created at the rehabilitation of the Holy Aedicule of the Holy Sepulchre by the National Technical University of Athens.
