Rethink Heritage

As previously stated, it is impossible to calculate the great number of conservation and/or rehabilitation and maintenance actions carried out every year in Europe, covering endless options and resources. Therefore this section presents a selection of projects of interest as examples of responses to specific issues, potentially shedding light on the project decisions made in different contexts by the professionals and stakeholders involved. These are heterogeneous projects which are extremely comprehensive in their methodological approach to the issues, conflicts and challenges relating to conservation that are addressed. To do so the following intervention categories have been analysed:

• religious architecture
• military architecture
• vernacular and residential architecture
• industrial architecture
• museums and cultural spaces
• interventions in the landscape and archaeological sites
