Heritage Beyond the Façade

This session, featuring Peter Andrew Barrett as the speaker, explores alternative ways of experiencing and contemplating heritage in the city beyond the facade’s aesthetic. It delves into the value of touch, smell, and sound. It also examines the relationship between a place and its topography, social history, associated language, and how people move through or circulate around it. With these concepts in mind, a deeper understanding of urban environments and heritage sites can be developed. These tools can also aid in preserving memory and creating a sense of place where significant change has occurred, providing the means to connect with the past.
