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.

The Award at the Generalitat Palace

12 December 2018

On Tuesday, December 11, 2018, the European Award for Architectural Heritage Intervention AADIPA was one of the 25 cultural entities invited to the event "Culture, a transformation tool", which on the occasion of the Governing Council encounter was held in the Sant Jordi Hall at the Generalitat Palace. During the course of the meeting, chaired by Quim Torra, president of the Generalitat, and Laura Borràs, Minister of Culture, representatives from the sector were exposed to the transversality of Culture in the Government's actions and policies.

Marc Manzano, architect and member of the management team for the Award, as a representative of the international event, which this December opens for registration for its 4th call, presented the president and the minister with a copy of the book-catalogue that includes both the works presented and the winners in the second edition. A volume that reflects the excellent state of health of intervention in Europe and that demonstrates the relevance of spreading and promoting patrimonial architectural practice as a part of culture.
