A népi építészet és a kulturális örökségvédelem bemutatása egy kihalt falu, Kán újjáélesztése során
A kutatás tárgya túlmutat az egyes házak felújításán. A halott település egészét vizsgálva kell feléleszteni a falut. Mindez magába foglalja a meglévő romos épületek felmérését, a falutörténeti kutatásokat, társadalomtudományi, szociológiai elemzéseket. Ezt követheti a helyi védelem megalkotás, a rendezési terv elkészítése az épületek korhű (autentikus) felújítása, átépítése, építése. Mindemellett döntő a falu újrahasznosítására felélesztésére irányuló törekvés is.
