- "Lost" Amazon Complex Found; Shapes Seen by
Satellite
Hundreds of circles, squares, and other geometric shapes
once hidden by forest hint at a previously unknown ancient society
that flourished in the Amazon, a new study says. Satellite images
of the upper Amazon Basin taken since 1999 have revealed more
than 200 geometric earthworks spanning a distance greater than
155 miles (250 kilometers). Now researchers estimate that nearly
ten times as many such structures—of unknown purpose—may
exist undetected under the Amazon's forest cover...

- Mysterious gravestone monument on North York Moors could
predate pyramids and Stonehenge
Archaeologists have discovered a monument in the North
York Moors which could date back more than 4,500 years to Neolithic
times. Aerial surveyors from English Heritage flew two sorties
over moorland after a wild fire swept across 62 acres, revealing
a prehistoric stone enclosure and multiple stone cairns. The area
had previously been managed as a wild life habitat for wild red
grouse. Although the site had been plotted on maps, a blanket
of heather concealing the terrain meant little was known about
it.

- (in Italian) Paesaggi rurali, paesaggi culturali
La qualità delle specifiche entità territoriali
sta assumendo in misura crescente nel sistema agricolo italiano
il carattere di “risorsa” in grado di determinare
lo sviluppo socio-territoriale sfruttando la capacità di
attrazione turistica attraverso la valorizzazione delle produzioni
tipiche e dei sistemi produttivi locali e la tutela delle componenti
paesaggistiche. In un’economia sempre più globalizzata,
la competizione si consuma non soltanto a livello di prodotti,
ma coinvolge anche la qualità dei territori di cui ne sono
espressione. Nel campo della viticoltura ciò appare ancora
più evidente soprattutto se si considera che l’Italia,
pur nella sua identità paesistico culturale unitaria, si
caratterizza per contesti territoriali peculiari in quanto derivati
da processi di evoluzione storica differenziati.

- Results of the workshop on heritage conflict and consensus
at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (USA) 9-13 November
2009
The workshop was aimed at creating a platform for discussion
of some of today’s most contentious issues: Who has the
historical right to Jerusalem? How should South African history
be seen in the post-Apartheid era? Can ancient religious shrines
have more than one owner? Can the memories of the “troubles”
in Northern Ireland be resolved through a new approach to public
heritage? Are Afghanistan and Iraq battlefields of both present
and past? How can 21st century refugees and immigrants celebrate
their home cultures in their often hostile adopted lands?

- Redesign of the Roman Quarry disposed Opera Festivals
/ AllesWirdGut Architektur (Austria)
A show in the Roman quarry doubtless is a unique experience for
every visitor, whether it is the classical-music lover enjoying
a performance of the opera festival or a local watching the annual
passion play with his friends as amateur actors. The playing and
singing under the open sky on a gentle summer night, far away
from the noise of the street is an experience that even the average
visitor who is not too much into opera and passion plays will
find overwhelming. Until now, though, it has only been the stage
itself that has benefited from the ambiance of the location, unique
in Austria, whereas the path used by visitors to get from the
parking lot to their seats in the auditorium and back always was
an unatmospheric, merely functional access way. The basic idea
of the design is to extend the ambiance of the magnificent rock-face
scenery to all parts of the theatrical arena so as to make it
a more palpable and visual enveloping experience.

- The Archival Platform (South Africa)
The Archival Platform is a networking, advocacy and research initiative.
We use the word “archive” to refer not only to records
or books in archives and libraries, but also to memory, cultural
practice and places that tell the stories of the past. The Archival
Platform’s aim is to facilitate dialogue and information
sharing between professionals, academics and government employees
in the heritage and archive sector. Three years from now, the
Archival Platform will have helped consolidate public ownership
of South Africa’s historical archive – not only physical
records of the country’s history, but also the memory, cultural
practices and places that tell the story of the past – by
raising its public profile and status, promoting effective management
of it and improving access to it.

- The physical record of human civilization - our cultural
heritage - is vanishing, and we hardly realize it
With the launch of a new program, Saving Our Vanishing Heritage
(Vanishing), GHF begins to build a new global movement to help
preserve the world’s most endangered cultural heritage sites
in developing countries. Vanishing’s goal is to raise and
broaden awareness of the precarious state of many of our most
important cultural heritage sites in developing countries, defined
as countries with either lower levels of GDP per capita or on
ones where notably rapid economic transformation, in either direction
(as seen in China or in some Former Soviet Union countries) is
driving the loss of cultural heritage. The Vanishing initiative
consists of two publications and a global summit on heritage conservation
to be held at the United Nations in April 2011.

- Ciudad Perdida, Colombia
GHF’s newest project site, Ciudad Perdida (“Lost City”)
is located high in the coastal range on northern Colombia’s
Caribbean coast. The site is comprised of a series of stone platforms
constructed along mountain ridges and today are threatened by
erosion, destabilizing vegetative growth, neglect and unsustainable
tourism, while related sites are also at risk of damage from looting.
GHF’s goals include the development and implementation of
a regional Management Plan, documentation and conservation of
the archaeological features at Ciudad Perdida and the engagement
of the local indigenous communities as major stakeholders in the
preservation and sustainable development of the site.

- Popol Vuh Relief - El Mirador, Guatemala
by Zach Zorich
While investigating the water collection system at the city of
El Mirador in northern Guatemala’s Petén rain forest,
a team of archaeologists led by Richard Hansen of Idaho State
University uncovered a sculptural panel with one of the earliest
depictions of the Maya creation story, the Popol Vuh. “It
was like finding the Mona Lisa in the sewage system,” says
Hansen. The plaster panel dates to approximately 200 B.C. and
depicts the mythical hero twins, Hunaphu and Xbalanque, swimming
into the underworld to retrieve the decapitated head of their
father. The sculpture dates to the same period as some of the
earliest artwork to depict the Popol Vuh, the murals at San Bartolo
and a stela at Nakbe, two other nearby cities. Parts of the decorative
panel extend beyond Hansen’s excavation trench, so uncovering
the rest of it will have to wait until next field season. In the
meantime, the archaeologists have installed a climate-controlled
shelter over the area to ensure the plaster remains intact.

- Modern cultural heritage
Our modern history in the shape of high-rise buildings, industrial
estates, football fields and squares is a cultural heritage in
the same way that ancient relics, churches and old names of places
are. The question is, which parts of what is around us today should
be documented or preserved for the future? Already, we decide
now what is to become history.

- Archives Audiovisuelles - Urban Heritage: conservation
and project
Urban Heritage, as we know it these days, is a concept that was
articulated and defined in Europe during the 19th century. Throughout
its history, this notion has been progressively widened to tackle
the variety of situations that it
deals with today. Nowadays, not only an old castle can be part
of heritage: a private house, a factory, a street or a whole neighbourhood
can also be
likewise considered as part of our heritage, and thus, have a
right to be protected and preserved.

- UNITED STATES| National Park Service says Nantucket
Sound eligible for special protections
Federal officials on Monday agreed to a request by two Indian
tribes for special protections for Nantucket Sound, a move that
could delay construction of a proposed wind farm off Cape Cod.The
National Park Service said the sound is eligible for listing in
the National Register of Historic Places as a significant traditional
cultural, historic and archaeological property.The Mashpee and
Aquinnah Wampanoag tribes say the designation, which would come
with new regulations for activity on the sound, is needed to preserve
the tribe's sacred rituals.

- MATA ORA: The Living Knowledge (New Zealand)
Ancient Polynesian navigators were the first to explore
and then settle the great Pacific Ocean – a vast expanse
that covers a third of the earth’s surface. Their journeys
began a millenium before the arrival of the first European explorers
in the 16th Century. In December at Porirua, north of Wellington,
New Zealand, the awe-inspiring achievements of ancient Polynesian
explorers and scientists will be remembered during a week of “Mata
Ora” celebrations hosted by the Society for Maori, Astronomy,
Research and Tourism and the NZ National Commission for UNESCO.

- Arnhem Land: Indigenous Australians Protect the Past
Covered from head to toe in a ghostly shade of ochre,
members of the White Cockatoo Performing Group dance among the
tall grasses and rocky escarpments of Arnhem Land in northern
Australia. These Indigenous Australian dancers are celebrating
an historic event — the declaration of two new protected
areas that together span 5 million acres and conserve ancient
rock art paintings that tell incredible stories of an intricate
connection between the indigenous people and their natural world.

- (in Italian) Beni culturali nel 2010: la visione della
direzione per la valorizzazione
Venghino, siori, venghino, il patrimonio è qui, e noi vi
aspettiamo. Anzi, “se non lo visiti, lo portiamo via”.
Il direttore Mario Resca ha presentato i risultati dei primi 100
giorni di governo della cultura e le linee programmatiche per
il 2010. Tra i primi, si annoverano l’accordo con Google
per Pompei in 3d, la discesa in campo del Mibac sui network sociali,
aperture serali di mostre, un concerto jazz alla Fenice e Musei
Magazine, la rivista gratuita. Notiamo, con piacevole sorpresa,
la nuova campagna di comunicazione (che dice, appunto, sbrigati
a visitare il Colosseo e gli Uffizi) e le varie “giornate”:
quelle Europee del Patrimonio, quelle dell’Alimentazione,
quella delle persone con disabilità.
E poi c’è il programma per il 2010. La bussola che
orienterà il lavoro della nuova Direzione per il prossimo
anno, e che dimostrerà (i 100 giorni, diciamolo, sono pochi)
che una direzione per la Valorizzazione era necessaria. Senza
se e senza ma.

- Europeana Tops 5 Million Items
Europeana’s collection of online European heritage passed
the 5 million mark in early December, taking the multilingual
digital library, museum and archive over halfway to its target
of 10 million searchable items in 2010. Portraits of notable Polish
figures, including astronomer Copernicus and composer Frederic
Chopin are among the newest additions to Europeana – part
of some 257,000 images, texts, videos and sounds that were submitted
by regional groups across Poland. The influx takes the proportion
of Polish items on Europeana from 0.4 percent of the total to
5.5 percent.

- Post-Mining Landscapes
Open-cast mining in the lignite districts of central and eastern
Germany has affected huge areas of land, leaving behind entirely
new landscapes characterised by their unique yet typical forms,
in some cases bizarre and striking surfaces, and the absence of
human activity. What makes the eastern German mining districts
particularly interesting is that at the beginning of the 1990s,
more than 50 percent of the region’s disused mining sites
had still to be reclaimed. Many went untouched for years and even
decades. Rehabilitation work has since been stepped up and in
recent years, nature conservationists have shown increasing interest
in eastern Germany’s post-mining landscapes as many of them
are highly valuable in terms of nature conservation and harbour
unique development potential. This is largely due to the differing
developmental stages that have evolved since mining activities
ceased...

Heritage e turismo
Il WTO definisce lo heritage tourism come una “immersione nella
storia naturale, nel patrimonio umano, le arti, la filosofia e le
istituzioni di un’altra regione o paese”.
A partire da questa precisa descrizione, gli autori del volume, entrambi
docenti della materia nelle università statunitensi, analizzano
il fenomeno dello heritage tourism contrapponendolo a quello del turismo
culturale. Quest’ultimo, infatti, si classifica come fenomeno
esperienziale, basato sull’essere coinvolti e stimolati dalle
arti dello spettacolo, dalle arti visive e dai festival.

The Monkeys, the scorpion and the snake
Series:
The UNESCO courier
Author: Bergeret, Yves
This is the twentieth time I have come to work with the Dogon painters
of Koyo, high up on their table mountain in the north of Mali. In
the black of night, we all stretch out on mats outside the mud house
set aside for me, in the centre of the village. The farmer-painters
and I are exhausted, but happy with the poem-paintings that we have
just made on cloth, under the burning sun. The youngest of the painters
is making tea. Our conversation turns to the ancestors.

Peinture et dessin, vocabulaire typologique et technique
Ségolène Bergeon Langle, Pierre Curie. Préface
d’Alain Rey
ISBN 978-2-7577-0065-5 (français) 190.00€
2 hard-back volumes. 648 et 584 pages - 2500 illustrations
Since time immemorial, from earliest Antiquity to our time, humans
have painted and drawn, from paintings on cave walls to graffiti marks
on city surfaces, from Roman villas to 1900 décors, from medieval
polychromatic Flemish sculpture to contemporary minimalist abstract
artifacts by way of Italian Primitivism. This typological and technical
dictionary of painting and drawing terms encompasses an astoundingly
vast field, yet its visual coherence is striking. Synthesizing historic,
scientific and technical knowledge in a comprehensive manner, some
1,850 terms or expressions allow readers to study diverse aspects
of a work of art through simple, brief definitions, but enriched with
notes and bibliographic references.

Vantaux de porte à planches jointives du XIe au XIXe
siècle Rachel Touzé
ISBN 978-2-85822-991-8 (français)
The oldest types of door leaves, photographed and measured, are composed
of individual vertical or horizontal boards joined together and reinforced
by diverse elements. They rely on a system of boards placed edge-to-edge,
with their rotation secured by pivots, iron-braces or pin hinges.
In the late 14th century, a second construction technology called
door leaves “à cadre” (within a frame) was phased
in. However, even though this latter system enjoyed considerable success,
the earlier edge-to-edge board design was never abandoned.

New book title – Heritage and beyond
ISBN 978-92-871-6636-4
Year: 2009
The notion of cultural heritage may be viewed from a number of standpoints.
This publication is concerned less with the science and techniques
of conservation than with the meaning of heritage and the contribution
it can make to the progress of European society. It is firmly rooted
in the principles of the Council of Europe - a political organisation
committed to human rights, democracy and cultural diversity - and
includes a range of articles that look at heritage in the context
of the current challenges we all face. In particular, it shows how
the Council of Europe's framework convention can enhance and offer
a fresh approach to the value of the cultural heritage for our society.
As such, it provides further reasons for states to ratify this convention,
which was opened for signature in Faro, Portugal, in 2005, and adopt
its dynamic and forward-looking approach...

Moyen Âge Sous la direction d'Alain Erlande-Brandendurg
ISBN 978-2-85822-905-8 (français)
The result of a collaboration between professionals who are themselves
deaf (linguists, lecturers, actors) and specialists of the Middle
Ages, edited by Alain Erlande-Brandenburg, this work defines over
150 terms related to the medieval world. Organized into four chapters
classified thematically (feudal society, the fortified castle, architecture
and religious life, the medieval town) and each associated with a
specific colour, the book helps readers to recognize the major themes
of feudal society (chivalry and feudal power, Roman or Gothic fortified
architecture) and to familiarize themselves with the corresponding
lexical fields.
This bilingual lexicon in French sign language and French, aimed at

However, it also appeals to all those readers interested in discovering
sign language. The objective of using clear illustrations and straightforward,
accessible written French makes this book an effective teaching tool.

Monumental 2009 - semestriel 1 Collectif
ISBN
978-2-7577-0055-6 (français)
The first issue of Monumental 2009 treats urban problems around French
cathedrals. Archaeologists, historians, architects and town planners
analyse the treatment of the public space, retracing the structuring
role of the cathedral within the city morphology and the repercussions
of archaeological discoveries on planning developments in city centres
during the past thirty years. Three articles summarize the overall
archaeological, historic, urban and institutional aspects, supported
by case studies of Rheims, Amiens, Albi, Mende, Bordeaux, Chartres,
and Grenoble. In order to assess the urban transformations which have
occurred since the Second World War, Monumental reprints a facsimile
of architect Jean-Charles Moreux’s article, "Les places
des cathédrales et leurs abords [Cathedral squares and their
environs]", originally published in l’Architecture française
in 1942. A second section of this report covers the latest restoration
campaigns on the portals of the cathedrals of Bourges, Rheims, Metz,
Troyes, Senlis, Beauvais, and Amiens...

Les monuments de l’eau - Aqueducs, châteaux
d’eau et fontaines dans la France urbaine de Louis XIV à
la Révolution
Par Dominique Massounie
ISBN 978-2-85822-992-5 (french)
The formal design, construction and choice of building materials
for a fountain, water tower or aqueduct reveal not only the prevailing
taste of the architect, engineer or sculptor, but also numerous technical
requirements. Patrons, designers, chief architects and users together
represent the entire urban population, thus explaining why the story
of the construction and maintenance of these “water monuments”
portrays the city as a whole, highlighting its collective needs, activities,
aspirations, and ambitions. Amenity or authentic commemorative marker,
the hydraulic monument, through its decoration and structure, narrates
the history of everyday life, the exercise of power, the arts of construction
and techniques, the history of sculpture, architecture and its embellishments,
and, through these diverse disciplines, the history of ideas.

Le Japon dans la lanterne magique
Par
Christian Fleury, Claude Malécot
ISBN 978-2-7577-0021-1 (français)
As a youthful twenty-one-year-old architecture student, Charles
Vapereau embarked on a voyage to Indochina in 1872. Two years later,
he established himself as a university professor of French language,
literature and law in Peking. After twenty-five years of residency
abroad, he returned to France, recognized as the leading authority
on China. It was he who conceived the celebrated Chinese section of
the Universal Exhibition of 1900 held in Paris.
This book offers a selection of his glass-plate views, never before
published, taken during a grand tour across Japan in 1897 with his
wife, before their return to Europe. Of exceptional freshness, these
snapshots were achieved through the technical prowess of Nadar’s
"Express Détective" system. Later tinted and projected
in a "magic lantern" during Vapereau’s lecture series,
the images reveal the transformation of Japan during the Meiji dynasty
(after its opening up to the West), and offer a gripping reportage
of the native people of Ainu, a remarkably innovative perspective
in its day, shedding light on a hitherto unknown universe.

La costruzione in precompresso
Marzia Marandola
Conoscere per recuperare il patrimonio italiano con un’intervista
a Franco Levi
La qualità architettonica degli edifici dipende da innumerevoli
fattori:
in primo luogo dalla perfetta sintonia tra l’ideazione e la
costruzione.
Questo libro dà conto della bellezza di alcuni capolavori costruiti
in
Italia e appartenenti a tipologie diverse: palazzi, chiese, ponti,
cinema,
viadotti, accomunati tutti da un uso particolarmente sofisticato e
pertinente del cemento armato precompresso. Opere tutte caratterizzate
dalla perfetta armonia tra forma e tecnica del calcestruzzo armato
precompresso, che si dispiegano dalle sperimentazioni degli anni cinquanta,
come il cinema teatro Maestoso a Roma di Riccardo Morandi,
sessanta come il ponte sul Tevere, sempre a Roma, di Silvano Zorzi,
fino ai recentissimi, innovativi impieghi di questa tecnica ormai
consolidata, adottati nella chiesa di Tor Tre Teste, a Roma, di Richard
Meier.

The city of Aigues-Mortes by Pierre Gras
ISBN
978-2-7577-0039-6 (french)
ISBN 978-2-7577-0041-9 (german)
ISBN 978-2-7577-0040-2 (anglais)
The city of Aigues-Mortes was created ex-nihilo in the 13th century
on the marshes of Camargue. Its foundation resulted from the determination
of King Louis IX (future Saint Louis), his strategic maritime vision
– to endow the kingdom of France with access to the Mediterranean
– and his religious vision – to honour the promise, deemed
sacred, to reconquer the Holy Land. If France is filled with numerous
examples of medieval military architecture, the city of Aigues-Mortes
stands out amongst them due to its singular geographic location in
contact with water and nature, its coherent and magnificent appearance,
and, lastly, the superb state of conservation of most of its site,
notably the Tower of Constance and the 1,634 metre-long ramparts flanked
by twenty towers. City of departure for the 7th and 8th crusades under
the aegis of Saint Louis in 1248 and 1270, Aigues-Mortes holds a highly
significant place in the history of the Holy Wars.
This richly illustrated book offers a sensitive approach to the city
of Aigues-Mortes through its history and urban dimension.

What exactly are those strange constructions that loom up at
the foothills of the Alpilles in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence?
For inquisitive explorers, the arch and mausoleum signal the start
of a formidable adventure through the remains of an abandoned ancient

columns and pediments, and circumnavigate around a pond, altars and
ubiquitous foundation wall fragments? Through rhyming and illustrated
texts, Corinne Albaut and Amélie Jackowski help young readers

of this ancient city of Glanum, founded more than 2,600 years ago
on the site of a sacred spring.

Fréjus antique Chérine Gébara, Isabelle
Béraud, Lucien Rivet
ISBN 978-2-85822-979-6
(french)
A Roman colony founded by Julius Caesar, Fréjus developed into
a major strategic, commercial and agricultural centre of eastern Provence.
Dredged out the pre-existing marshes and linked to the sea by a canal,
the port figured amongst the most important military bases of the
Mediterranean Basin during the Early Empire. Already well-provided
with a Roman aqueduct, theatre, amphitheatre and thermal baths, the
city continued to expand during the Early Christian period with the
construction of episcopal buildings around one of the oldest baptisteries
in Provence.
This archaeological guidebook on the city of Fréjus encourages
visitors to discover its history, archaeology and major monuments,
plunging them into the evocative atmosphere of Antiquity.

Brou, a European Monument in the early Renaissance - on
line book
This book presents the largely illustrated and up-dated proceedings
of an international symposium which took place on October 13-14th,
2006, at the closing of the exhibition “Brou, an Emperor’s
daughter’s masterpiece”. Both aimed at updating the current
researches on the Royal Monastery of Brou (Ain, France) founded by
Margaret of Austria at the beginning of the XVIth century. The different
contributions pertain to the following main issues: the historical
and artistic context of the buildings’ genesis; the relatives
and connections of an astounding personality; Brou as a Brabantine
site in the region of Bresse; the interweaving and cross-cultural
patterns through France, Spain, Italy, Germany and Low-Countries;
the perspectives in the field of the impending restoration and the
enhancement of an exceptional furniture and architectural complex.

Latitudes africanas del tango
Editor: Norberto
Pablo Cirio
Latitudes africanas del tango es otro de los libros que Ortiz Oderigo
dejó inédito. Escrito en 1988, nos introduce en el tema,
quizá más controvertido de la identidad argentina: la
prosapia negra del tango. Para nuestro orgullo blancoeuropeo representa
una piedra en el zapato, una mancha congénita que ha intentado
eliminarla u ocultarla. Queriendo explicar su prosapia negra, analiza
cuestiones de otras músicas afroamericanas como el jazz, contemporáneo
al tango y en cuya génesis la participación negra no
tiene discusión.
Él fue el primero que nos enseñó
a pensar en tres -aborígenes, blancos y negros- nuestra cultura
cuando, con suerte si se pensaba en dos, pues el monopolio de la patria
blanca apenas dejaba algún resquicio a lo aborigen y lo negro
no era más que un capítulo de escasos renglones y situado
siempre en el período colonial.

Architecture de la croissance , Les paradoxes de la sauvegarde
Catherine Dumont d'Ayot
Grands ensembles, campus universitaires, centres hospitaliers et villes
nouvelles constituent ce qu’on appelle désormais les
« architectures de la croissance ». Entre les années
1960 et 1970, la masse bâtie et les infrastructures se sont
accrues de manière exponentielle dans toute l’Europe
de l’Ouest.
Pour répondre à cette nouvelle échelle de projet,
les architectes, les ingénieurs et les urbanistes ont dû
développer des systèmes de construction, de préfabrication
et des techniques de planification, de même qu’ils ont
forgé des utopies pour repenser l’environnement humain.
En dressant un état des lieux de ces architectures en France,
en Allemagne et en Suisse, ce livre revient sur le rôle des
utopies, sur la production de masse et propose une analyse des enjeux
et des paradoxes liés aujourd’hui à cet héritage
complexe et à sa sauvegarde.

Conserving architecture: Planned conservation of XX Century
Architectural Heritage
Conservare l'architettura: Conservazione programmata
per il patrimonio architettonico del XX secolo. A cura di Andrea
Canziani
The Planned Conservation is the ability to see the Cultural
Heritage over time and to govern its transformations. Knowledge,
prevention, control, operations planning, replace the idea of restoration
as a defensive action aimed to prevent any changes with the idea
of conservation as a co-evolution between humans and heritage. The
practice of preventive and planned conservation are presented as
a strategic move to preserve the architectural heritage of the twentieth
century. Modern heritage is particularly vulnerable to risks of
accelerated deterioration due to material, formal and technological
characteristics. Control and cure, indeed, are the most effective
defense of its authenticity.

La Restauración en la Arquitectura. Métodos
y técnicas de análisis
Autor: Olimpia
Niglio
Editor: Universidad de Ibagué (Colombia) - Año: 2009
ISNB: 978-958-8028-82-8
Los bienes culturales tienen carácter de permanencia y
continuidad. Pero, para que haya continuidad histórica es importante
ejercer una toma de conciencia de que se posee algo que es importante
conservar, porque se le reconoce como tal, en el sentido de se comprende
su valor y aquello que este representa para la colectividad. La restauración,
en general, es una disciplina relativamente joven que encuentra sus
orígenes en la moderna búsqueda histórica, cuyo
fin es reconocer el valor del bien mismo, para entonces cuidarlo.
La restauración arquitectónica representa una rama más
generalizada de la restauración artística, desde la
cual trae y cambia principios y métodos de intervención.
Es importante hacer énfasis en el hecho de que no es solo el
monumento el que necesita ser conservado, sino también su medio
ambiente y que la conservación de este último garantiza
una mejor transmisión hacia el futuro del bien arquitectónico.
