Socio-cultural Assessment of a heritage building
Heritage renovation is not only a technical and energy-related challenge, but also a socio-cultural one, as historic buildings carry cultural, historical, social and symbolic values shaped by local identities, practices and regulations. Ignoring these dimensions can create resistance, stakeholder conflicts and renovation strategies that are technically effective but socially or culturally unacceptable.
Brief Summary
Together, these blueprints present a complementary approach to heritage renovation, from identifying socio-cultural and heritage values, to analysing conflicts between cultural, social, economic and environmental objectives, and finally translating these assessments into concrete decision-making. They provide a structured framework to support more transparent, balanced and context-sensitive renovation strategies by integrating stakeholder perspectives, value trade-offs and multi-criteria arbitration into the planning process.
