LATITUDES
IV. TOWARDS
A NEW VISION OF THE PATRIMONIAL.
In recent years, deep changes are occurring in relation to the idea
of heritage and patrimonial, involving new approaches, not only
in expanding the concept and scope of the term, but new forms of
action in relation to it.
Clearly, concern has shifted from a
partial and specific heritage protection, being almost exclusively
known as "historical and architectural heritage", to a
global vision and general construction of the territory recognized as
having intrinsic component of being patrimonial. The inclusion within
the concept of heritage of more extensive and broader ideas, which
move from the concrete assessment of the architectural and urban to a
new land valuation, is opening overcoming a stagnant stage of
understanding of the built heritage as an object of contemplation and
delight, to go into the active incorporation of this to the processes
of development, it means, understanding the territorial heritage like
support of economic and social development of a particular area.
A
direct consequence of this is expanding the concept of heritage not
only in its dimensional scale, but also to other thematic and
structural scales. Thus,
the idea of fragmentary and partial, associated with a series
of discrete, isolated and recognizable elements, result of a diverse
and biased assessment of the story, broken, built in pieces, giving
priority to certain aspects in many cases. We pass to another more
complexity involved in understanding a changing reality that far
exceeds its conceptualization in the nineteenth century linked to the
preservation of monuments, historic gardens or what has a certain
historical and artistic value to incorporate as well those
territories adjectival heritage.
We witness, therefore, To its
consideration as a protect unit which is inserted and participated in
the urban and natural environment where it is, introducing tangible
or intangible considerations: rituals, festivals, lights, smells,
tastes, sounds ... of anthropological character, testimony of the
collective and individual memories which meant at the time the
extension of the Heritage designation by the Cultural Heritage in
recognition of not only the historical and artistic value of the
property but also its significance.
A
final step and has been considering a new heritage designated by the
term Cultural Landscape linked to a concept of patrimonial that
addresses the urban environment and urban grid, but also those
natural places that have environmental values and a cultural
significance, thereby producing an ever closer relationship between
the natural and cultural heritage. This extension of the concept of
cultural property to its environment will occur as a result of a
social feeling of loss of representative places and spaces part of
the natural heritage which is held in high esteem and are now in
constant change and risk.
So,
from the idea of monument as Cultural Interest Property
isolated, we move to the understanding of the property in its
location beyond a reduced environment, as part of authenticity to
expand its boundaries, it is a more abstract concept of anthropic
environment, place and landscape. Thus, the patrimonial consideration
today passes smoothly from the territory of the object and the
uniqueness of the monument to the artistic cultural landscape. The
heritage is no longer just the monumental, which has historical and
artistic value, but also what contributes to the identity of people,
values that can be physical or not.
This
radical change means that the parameters of the models and strategies
that govern their protection, regulation and action,they
need to evolve from its nineteenth century base to its consideration
within the epistemological, ideological, political, cultural and
technical parameters.
The
assumption of this new notion, due to its complexity, involves an
extension beyond the discipline's traditional activity of
conservation and restoration related to the idea of monument,
to overcome the common notion and embrace those cultural pieces that
show special situations of wealth and complexity. So it will occur
disciplines such as history, anthropology, law, architecture,
archeology and geography ... and increasingly scientific and
technical disciplines.
Nevertheless,
as more and more voices are raised in this regard, restrictive
consideration is still predominant and in most cases determinant. So
are those aspects that focus exclusively on the inner meaning of
objects or cultural property that become, most occasions, in the
focus during the development of heritage project, closely linked to
the body of work appreciated as valuable legitimate and backed by its
historical prestige and symbolic. This implies a way of
conceptualizing the heritage in a static way, that set aside or
thoughtless the largest component of the heritage that referred to
its conception as essentially unlimited, permanently open and refers
to the restriction of inventoried.
Going
further on this concept, Can
we think that buildings, spaces, territories, constructed to be
occupied in a certain way, are now a new found spaces? Even subaltern
or servers spaces that were never designed for human occupation,
invisible to our eyes, Could they now appear, without its meaning, or
as attractive alternative to the contemporary city? Finding those
places, redefine, put them in charge, reprogramming, that will be the
key work that many teams should develop in the near future.
These
ideas are the starting point of these workshops, thus material for
thought and research: places or spaces that because of the modern
territorial system configuration, they can be in the inside the urban
areas, in urban peripheries or part of the big territorial spaces
between cities, rural areas reduced and isolated between massive
buildings or communication networks, and very unstable and
vulnerable, but vital to our planet.
ORGANIZATION
This
laboratory, understanding it as a unit, will be developed in four
phases, chronologically and spatially separated, in everyone we will
point on different approaches to the idea of heritage. Will
host workshops at schools of architecture of Granada (Spain), Buenos
Aires (Argentina), Copenhagen (Denmark) and Sao Paulo (Brazil).
It
is for students and teachers of architecture, but also experts from
other related disciplines. The possibility of having the support of
the UN Habitat program and other state or local governments or
cultural associations, public or private, will give us more incidence
and real approach on the issues to deal with.
We
will organize the tasks in several working groups, coordinated by
professors and architects of international prestige, working on
depressed areas, which are an strategic place in the city and which
value needs to be reinforce.
The
proposals will be accompanied and supported by lecture and visits to
buildings and areas of interest, to complement the workshop
activity.
PRODUCTION
The
activities generated from this event, both lecture and projects and
study material will be compiled in a publication such as publicity
materials for subsequent meetings, consultation and research.
The
expected result is to obtain high-quality concrete proposals that
will contribute in some way to improving the current situation in
urban, architectural, social and environmental issues, so it will
work with local, regional or state governments, depending of the
urban development of each area.
