The culture of restoring architectural heritage and its environment has generated a culture that relates to the monument itself, the building or group of buildings, to the environment, in other words its environment is essential when intervening. This consideration has led to the participation of social, urban civic and landscape elements in cultural heritage, not only as a simple audience enjoying the result, but as the main agent, along with cultural experts, when projecting and defining the future functions of the monument and its setting, subject to usage of the collective, with a sustainable respect not only of the monument itself, but of its most immediate environment or the regional structure that its origins defined.
Intervening in cultural heritage (particularly architecture) and its environment is the first step required for the sustainability of the environment, whether in nature or the city. It involves an analytical process that combines knowledge of different disciplines and its application to favour the recycling of this heritage, adapting everything to the new uses and functions required.
The most suitable proposal for intervention must let the architectural project be resolved optimally, including its proper maintenance, the project for managing the monument, its accessibility and cultural diffusion, favouring the management imposed by the new uses, thus guaranteeing the best environmental sustainability.
Thus, this class offers a reflection surrounding intervention and signposting, taking architectural cultural heritage as the focal point, relating it to professional diversity and the specific knowledge of the different agents whose interdisciplinary work will make their contribution a truly positive one for raising the monument and its environment and doing so sustainably.
OBJECTIVES
The mail goals of this programme are:
- To learn about and evaluate the origins of cultural heritage at the time of intervention.
- To perform an interdisciplinary analytical process in order to understand the buildings and their immediate environment on which action is being taken.
- To manage and learn of interdisciplinary techniques that must allow the optimal resolution of the project and its immediate surroundings and the maintenance of the whole.
- To propose management tools for cultural diffusion of the new use of the monument and its immediate environment, guaranteeing sustainability.
