Into the Historic Fabric
Architectural Insertions: Building into the Historic Fabric _ Angelos Psilopoulos
Building into the historic fabric has largely become one of the principal challenges of contemporary architecture. Unshackled from the messianic promises of Modernism and its large-scale programs of substitution of the “old” with a cleansed a-chronic “new”, societies and architects alike stand emancipated against their own built legacy. Since the 90s, the same applies to the preservationist fixations that see heritage in the terms of artifacts maintained as lifeless testaments of their past.
In itself, the idea of heritage brings forth one of the most fundamental aspects in mankind’s endeavor for self-preservation and evolution, namely to preserve human values and memory. In these terms, safeguarding heritage becomes an act of responsibility involving equally an ethical stance, normative policy, and technical expertise. Nevertheless “cultural heritage” is hardly exhausted as a mere catalog of artifacts that show “outstanding universal value”, mainly because culture itself is embedded and evolving in the fabric of everyday practices and the living memory of the community.
