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.

Sumem Patrimoni

  • Sumem Patrimoni

Sumem Patrimoni is an initiative by the Vic City Council to protect the city's traditional architecture, highlighting its history, diversity, constructive richness, creativity, and harmony with the place. The project is divided into three parts: research, training, and dissemination. The dissemination objectives are to convey the value of traditional architecture, facilitate POUM understanding, and create spaces for reflection. The execution is cross-cutting, involving various city stakeholders and creating a space for exchange to promote knowledge and the protection of Vic’s anonymous heritage. The project, launched in 2023, is structured so that each quarter a theme related to traditional and anonymous architecture is chosen. This theme is developed through an illustration that accompanies the selected topic to give graphic sensitivity to the project, an expert-written article, a city tour, and other activities, whether original proposals from Sumem Patrimoni or adding a heritage touch to other actions already carried out in the city
