Wake up cities! a heritage rebalancing plan from the sacred

Delgado Orusco, Eduardo (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: This article outlines our plan to rebalance the patrimonial heritage from the sacred: a strategy of attention to the needs and social demands, both religious—primarily—and other kinds, of the inhabitants of these communities. Our plan provides an attentive and unprejudiced view of service that proposes new uses for structures of great patrimonial and sentimental value. These are complexes recognized by societies but incapable of being maintained without intervention, given that their use has greatly diminished in today’s society. All this must be considered while additional legitimate demands have arisen that do not find an adequate response in the same community. It is not a matter of competition but of an effective adaptation or a rebalancing through the reprogramming of some properties. We cannot forget that non-religious cultural and social demands also apply to the faithful. Being a believer does not exclude one from being a lover of music or museums.
