Penn - Mason . The studio is a pratical course in planning urban and regional conservation areas, bringing to bear the wide range o f skills and ideas at play in the field of historic preservation. Recognizing that historical areas are complex entities wher e cultural and socio-economic realities, land use, building types, and the legal and institutional setting are all closel y interrelated, the main focus of the studio is understanding the cultural significance of the built environmentand th e relation of this significance to other economic social, political, and aesthetic values . Through the documentation an d analysis of a selected study area, the studio undertakes planning exercises for an historical area, carries ou t documentation and historical research, and creates policies and projects.
