Value in Architechture Heritage

Beschreibung: 1. HERITAGE FAÇADISM: AN ECONOMICAL AND ARCHITECTURAL APPROACH Abstract: Since the last century Façadism has become an increasingly applied method of architectural heritage. It is a compromise between an economical and esthetical point of view. Architects may take into account the functional design and the esthetical aspect of the heritage. For arts- or architect-historian on the other hand the historical value may be most important. What about the economist’s point of view on this issue? The essay will discuss in more detail about the perspective of an architect, a historian and an economist on Façadism. 2. HERITAGE FAÇADISM AND ITS CONCEPT OF VALUE Abstracts: “In the field of cultural economic build architectural heritage has a particular status”, Benhamou (2003) mentioned that it shares the preoccupation of sustainability and the existence of an international demand linked to tourism. In this essay I discuss about concept of value and some dilemmas of architecture heritage in perspectives of economic and culture point of view. I will point out case of Façadism, to ease understanding the concept of value in connection to cultural policy. I hope this sample will be able to show relation between architecture and its economic potential where the inhabitant and policy makers have to consider a concept of value to draw culture policy. 3.
