Heritage
cultural: reflects links between population and building
Artistic: aesthetic
Historical: the architecture of the building and its role in history
Cultural asset as time passes more constructions are considered heritage not only big monuments but also rural and vernacular buildings and landscapes.
75% of the works you’ll do is about pre-existent buildings UNESCO
in Spain each region manages its heritage our intervention shouldn’t change then building, it must preserve its original form

Cultural value
Maybe artistic value
Historical value
Value of antiquity (fingerprint of time)
Frying pan=cathedral

Ley Patrimonio español
Bien the interés cultural

- Disadvantage: there are so many things, really inconvenient to make refurbishment
Outstanding universal value. It is not a permanent thing, it can disappear with an intervention
Intangible heritage: las fallas
Repercussion in architecture (knowledge of techniques, skills)
Differences between countries regarding preservation
