Intersections between Architecture and Culture and Heritage Management
Abstract: Architecture and culture are deeply interconnected, with each influencing and reflecting the other over time. Buildings are more than physical structures; they represent the beliefs, traditions, values, and lifestyles of the communities that create them. As societies evolve, architecture becomes a living record of their social, political, economic, and technological development. At the same time, cultural heritage management plays a crucial role in protecting and preserving these architectural assets, ensuring …
