Field notes
The page sets out three forms of work: measured documentation, conservation and renovation planning, and new architecture. Its timeline names work on endangered wooden housing in Ulaanbaatar, renovation of protected buildings, and a 2023 conservation training programme in Nara. The studio says conservation planning is done with the craftspeople who will carry out the work.
