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.

Atlas histórico del urbanismo español

  • Atlas histórico del urbanismo español

Through the interpretation of maps, plans, and drawings, this publication analyses the defining features of the stages in the development of Spanish cities. Most of the literature on urban history focuses on thematic or temporally limited aspects. However, panoramic and comparative studies that connect these partial insights remain relatively scarce. Such works can provide a broader understanding of the historical sequence of changes—not emphasizing the individual history of each, but rather their common traits, how they were shaped, and the knowledge applied to them at each stage of a shared history, exploring the social and cultural structures of each era. This is thus a selective, interpretative, and contextualized presentation of urban history, understood as both the organization of cities and the knowledge related to their transformation. Given the importance of morphological, volumetric and spatial changes, graphic representations are essential in illustrating how urban spaces were structured and perceived through contemporary depictions
