AHI Architectural Heritage Intervention

“Contributing to enhancing our heritage, as the way forward for 21 st Century architecture is our raison d’être; to emphasize a diverse, rich vision that necessarily complements the intervention is our mission, and achieving it with reflexive and purposeful efforts is the challenge”.

This project, founded in, and directed since, 2011 by Ramon Calonge, Oriol Cusidó, Marc Manzano and Jordi Portal, architects and members of the Group of Architects for the Defence and Intervention in Architectural Heritage (AADIPA), has, through the years become a platform that includes four actions that are both independent and transversal.
 
The European Award, a biennial event that brings together and showcases the multiple approaches of intervention in Europe.

The International Biennial, a framework that serves to compare and gain closer insight of quality interventions in architectural heritage in non-European countries.

The digital Archive, a live and open window that provides a panoramic view of interventions in the history of our surroundings.

The Forum, a meeting place where you can participate in on-going debates about the main preoccupations and lines of thought about interventions in architectural heritage in Europe.

After successive campaigns of emergency interventions in the church of San Pablo, since the restoration of the main façade in 2010, a complete restoration of the façade of the apse and north transept has been completed in 2024. Recovering of the watertight conditions of the walls and roofs of them to solve the safety problems. In addition, the view of the apse from the outside as a whole with the magnificent frame of San Gregorio is recovered from the perspective of the access to the Sculpture Museum and from Pza. Federico Wattenberg. Also the perspective from the Santo Tomás Hall of Residence (distinguished as a Heritage of Modern Architecture in 2022 by the Docomomo Foundation). Inside, the apse has been recovered, bathed in light by the large area of stained glass windows that rescue the original situation, replacing the glass bricks installed in 1961 with stained glass windows of leaded cathedral glass, in accordance with the Gothic church
