Résumé en anglais
Monuments and sites will only constitute outstandingexamples of mankind’s genius if, to the aesthetic qualities
of a know-how developed by different peoples, we addthe perception of a cultural value that makes them unique
and inter-relatable with a universal sense, in theirhistoricity as well as in their authenticity.
Revealing itself as fundamental to the self-identity ofinhabitants and of places, the intangible dimension has to
contain the recognition of its comprehension applied to amaterial support, which is specific to each heritage.
Through examples as different as a baroque palace inMalta, the rescue of an ancient Portuguese church in
Bangladesh or cooperation efforts being made inIndonesia 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.
