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.

Master Plan of the Camino de Santiago in the Autonomous of Castilla y León

  • Master Plan of the Camino de Santiago in the Autonomous of Castilla y León

The Camino de Santiago is one of Europe’s most important cultural assets, both for its heritage and its role in connecting people of diverse origins. This millennial route has historically served as a cultural bridge and continues to foster dialogue between travelers and towns. The Camino should be seen as a community in motion, with pilgrims in constant transformation but maintaining a link to a shared territory. With over 4,000 people in Castilla y León alone, it can be viewed as a nomadic city. Additionally, 77% of pilgrims are foreign, traveling through marginalized rural areas at risk of depopulation. In response, a regeneration project has been proposed, aiming to implement social, environmental, and economic measures within a unified administrative strategy. This project seeks to promote sustainable territorial development in the Camino, benefiting local municipalit.
