A wide range of projects, reflections, initiatives and programmes were presented on the reconstruction of urban complexes, buildings or parts of buildings. These are considered a necessary intervention for their effective long-term conservation or for the recovery of their symbolic value, especially when their disappearance or ruin is the result of natural disasters or violent actions such as wars or attacks.
The speakers presented different approaches to this subject, from the large scale of the design or transformation of neighbourhoods and cities punished by various conflicts or by the disinterest, abandonment and even negligence of those in charge of them, to the small scale of the crafts specific to each territory and culture and their transmission to future generations. A more theoretical point of view that highlights the diversity of interpretations and debates surrounding recent interventions that have taken place in heritage complexes from all periods was also considered.
The Reconstruction of Cultural Heritage International Seminar has been organized by INTBAU and the Rafael Manzano Prize for New Traditional Architecture, thanks to the support of the Richard H. Driehaus Charitable Lead Trust, through a grant from the Chicago Community Foundation for the Richard H. Driehaus Charitable Fund, and the collaboration of the EKABA Foundation, the Fundação Serra Henriques, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, the Escola Superior Gallaecia, the Universidad Alfonso X el Sabio, and the Centro de Investigación de Arquitectura Tradicional (CIAT-UPM), and it celebrates the European Year of Cultural Heritage.
The record and digital edition of these conferences has been made by the audiovisual services team of the School of Architecture of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
