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.

Bridging Time and Space: Master Plan for the Regeneration of Ancient Corinth

  • Bridging Time and Space: Master Plan for the Regeneration of Ancient Corinth

The "Master Plan for the Regeneration of Ancient Corinth" is a comprehensive initiative aimed at highlighting and presenting the heritage sites and monuments of the wider area of Ancient Corinth as part of a unified cultural landscape and to organically integrate them with the modern village. The plan focuses on expanding the site, improving accessibility through pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, and restoring significant historic buildings. It envisions the creation of sustainable public spaces that foster community engagement and enhance the visitor experience. A key aspect is the development of new pathways connecting archaeological sites, encouraging sustainable mobility, and reducing vehicle congestion. Additionally, the plan includes the adaptive reuse of historic buildings for cultural purposes and the construction of a new museum. The plan also emphasizes collaboration with local stakeholders to ensure sustainable development and long-term success.
