Résumé en anglais
Cultural values are to be preserved, for life to have a humanmeaning. Becoming, over many centuries and places, has
established the founding roots of bio-ecodiversity for humancultures as well, which are the most genuine embodiment of
immaterial values. The impact of ethic groups, beliefs andimported lifestyles and cultures has developed into colonial,
utilitarian geopolitical set-ups, destructive for preminentcongenital values (African and South-American countries).
The recent history of the European civilization has developedat varying rates, since the transfer of immaterial values has
been distorted by all-invading rationalism and insensitivetechnology.
The human time of “knowing how to be” has been ostracizedby that of having plenty of more and more alternative things.
Now, the past must be read in the continuity of the present,even if, for the advancement of science, this is infused with
the future. Humanity is waiting for new culturaldevelopments, running towards the sources of life through
the perception of the sense (expressions) the memory of theimmaterial (values), the images of places (signs). To preserve
this understanding, experiences and conditions drawn frominnate immaterial values are presented – with the Nature of
the sites and the shapes of the monuments in Guatemala,Japan, Malaysia and Africa.
