Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of “Heritage” aims to collect original and high-quality research papers, reviews and technical notes related to the conservation of architectural and archaeological heritage in geographically different, but culturally quite similar, contexts, such as Italy, Spain and Central and South America.

The aim is to compare these contexts, allowing a fruitful exchange of experiences and attitudes, both theoretical and practical, in order to generate new collaborations towards the preservation and valorization of architectural and archaeological heritage; a goal which is the very reason for the existence of the Federación Internacional de Centros CICOP (https://www.federacioncicop.org/congresos-cicop).

This Special Issue will cover a wide range of topics related to the protection of such contexts, with particular reference to issues concerning historical and technical investigations of architectural and cultural heritage.

Contributions are invited on the following topics:

  • Historic surveys of historical buildings;
  • Representation techniques for historical architecture;
  • Project techniques for the conservation and management of architectural and archaeological heritage;
  • Technical interventions on historical architectural materials.

This paper aims to identify the values of the historical context of Kashan city (Iran) and apply them in its regeneration process, and develop planning methods based on international perspectives and local experiences in Iran. The values and features should be carefully examined by evaluation methods, allowing for the transmission of urban context values to the future. This study will use an appropriate methodology to achieve a validated document based on values and their indicators, allowing for regeneration of the Sarpelleh historic neighborhood. We have divided the purposes of the current research into two levels: First, identification of the values of the historic context of Kashan and then providing an appropriate compatible pattern with contemporary contextual values in different dimensions; second, focusing on designing a cultural and historical axis to represent the values that are compatible with contemporary needs. The outcomes of this research are a clear indication of the values of the Sarpelleh historic neighborhood in three main categories: (1) historical and social values; (2) environmental and physical values; and (3) economic values—the regeneration plans of which are proposed in three alternatives. Note that the proposed regeneration plan balances all of the identified values, without neglecting any of them. Full article

The research here presented is a critical appraisal of some restoration works carried out between the two World Wars in a particular geographic context, which is the Romagna district, in the Northeast of Italy. Starting from two case studies (the Casa del Fascio in Forlì and the Malatesta Library in Cesena) and thanks to the analysis of bibliographical sources, archival documents, and drawings, this research aims at understanding how broader and major theories about architectural restoration are articulated in peripheral background. What emerges are unexpected results: Late and deeply contextualized operations, strongly linked with the national panorama but at the same time chasing for the revival of their own history.
