Heritage Preservation in East Central Europe: Practices, Resources, Communities
Why is it important to discuss social value specifically within the context of industrial heritage? As a fluid and culturally specific concept, social value is embedded in experience and practice. It is not an inherent quality of the physical building itself, but rather emerges from the meaning attributed to it by the people who created or interacted with this heritage. How does this topic expand on our previous discussion about communities and heritage? This lecture will address this by focusing specifically on the continuity of cultural practices and lived experiences associated with industrial sites.
