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.

Part Baixa of Tarragona Comprehensive Plan

  • Part Baixa of Tarragona Comprehensive Plan

Part Baixa of Tarragona Comprehensive Plan (PBTCP) is an urban planning tool for the integrated regeneration of the historic maritime neighbourhood of Tarragona, aiming at revitalizing the neighbourhood, improving its habitability conditions, and revalorizing its heritage. The comprehensive nature of the plan is reflected in 7 areas of diagnosis: demography, urban planning, public space, mobility, retail and economic activity, culture and participation. The plan is based on a comprehensive participatory process that formed the Action Plan. The latter is structured in 4 strategic objectives: living in the neighbourhood, living together in the neighbourhood, enjoying the neighbourhood and activating the neighbourhood. It is deployed in 11 lines of implementation and 25 specific actions that propose improvements in social cohesion, enhancement of historical heritage, mobility, the renewal of public space, the reorganization and reactivation of facilities, the revitalization of retail and finally the rehabilitation of housing.
