Synopsis

This book is coordinated by the UNESCO Chair on Modern Urban heritage CREhAR (Creative Research and Education on heritage Assessment and Regeneration), at the School of Architecture, Universidad de Sevilla (USE), institutions and their research groups which constitute a benchmark for research on cultural heritage and sustainability. Developed in the context of a European network of five universities, University of Belgrade, Serbia; University of Seville, Spain; IUAV University of Venice, Italy; University of Cyprus, Cyprus; and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece- this consortium on heritage and sustainability have been collaborating closely, both as authors and editors. This book contributes to opening the way to managing heritage from a sustainable perspective, characterizing it from a holistic approach that includes environmental conservation and bioclimatic design. The central innovation of this contribution rests on combining the processes and methods of the heritage studies with those of the project within the field of Architecture and Urban Planning. The volume is structured into five sections: from the concepts, methods and tools, without forgetting the training in proper documental search and systematization, characterization and values identification, key to define criteria to design strategies and actions. Addressed in three transversal perspectives: education, practice, and research, it gives an integral and complete answer to students, practitioners, and researchers. Regarding its contribution to the literature in the field, this volume offers an international publication in the combined fields of heritage and sustainability, providing both conceptual and specific didactic contents and materials, for what is needed to deal with the complex process involved in heritage management. It looks for quality proceedings to project integrated actions on heritage assets, from a transdisciplinary perspective. This book promotes decision making on expert knowledge and cultural values; the proper use of methods, strategies and tools, and reaches agreements through participation of the different agents involved.
