Abstract (in English)

Monuments and sites will only constitute outstanding examples of mankind’s genius if, to the aesthetic qualities of a know-how developed by different peoples, we add the perception of a cultural value that makes them unique and inter-relatable with a universal sense, in their historicity as well as in their authenticity. Revealing itself as fundamental to the self-identity of inhabitants and of places, the intangible dimension has to contain the recognition of its comprehension applied to a material support, which is specific to each heritage. Through examples as different as a baroque palace in Malta, the rescue of an ancient Portuguese church in Bangladesh or cooperation efforts being made in Indonesia to safeguard part of an ancient city-palace, we intend to highlight the importance of the immaterial values that justify the need to safeguard built heritage.
