VI. GLOSSARY OF HERITAGE MANAGEMENT
False historical appearance

Creating replicas of historic architectural or design features of a building, structure, or landscape in which one cannot decipher if it is historic or modern (for example concrete copy of the Parthenon in Nashville, USA). Also referred to as a false sense of history.

Folklore (or traditional and popular culture)

Totality of tradition-based creations of a cultural community, expressed by a group or individuals and recognized as reflecting the expectations of a community as far as they reflect its cultural and social identity; its standards and values are transmitted orally, by imitation or by other means. Its forms are, among others, language, literature, music, dance, games, mythology, rituals, customs, handicrafts, architecture, and other arts.

Futurism (Futurist architecture) (around 1912)

Emerged in the early-20th century in Italy. It was motivated by anti-historicism and characterised by long horizontal lines and streamlined forms suggesting speed, dynamism, movement, and urgency. Futurism went out of fashion following WWII but re-emerged in a reinterpreted form with the popularity of futuristic comic books and the arrival of the Space Age.
