Résumé en anglais
Cultural heritage preservation, while embracing many advances in technology, has fundamentallydepended on the continuity of ancient crafts and workshop industries. Worldwide, these are being eroded:
declining investment in vocational training; social fragmentation and urbanisation producing an ever morefragile, uprooted workforce; community-based manual production reduced to “souvenirs” for tourists.
Carpentry, masonry, and other building crafts embody systems of learning that inculcate both skills and
values essential to the vital future of cultural heritage places. They must be safeguarded but also steeredtowards genuine economic development and social opportunity. In the built heritage sector, training courses
for conservation professionals far outweigh the number of accredited programmes for building craftworkers.This paper will use a case study, the Escuela Taller Intramuros craft school in Manila, as a means of examining
the broader picture of human development and heritage preservation through craft training.
