Narrating the Cultural Landscape. Tracing the actual significances of heritage

Current developments such as the changing vision on heritage from an exclusive ‘substantial’ to a more anthropological perspective and the changing meaning of it from a top-down to a bottom-up ‘right to heritage’ imply a shift in heritage paradigms. A renewed reflection on heritage research and an interdisciplinary approach are required. The roles of architects are redefined responding to this shift. With this paper we want to share possible designerly ways of detecting, unveiling and mapping the actual significances of heritage to develop a more inclusive understanding of the value of it to come to socially better and socially better accepted projects of restoration and reuse. The more hidden relationship of heritage with its multi-layered context is explored, combining existing methods and tools out of other disciplines with the skills of the architect leading to spatial narratives.
