Cultural Heritage Studies

Designing with nature for beautiful sustainable and inclusive space

On the occasion of the 17th International Architecture Exhibition, the Biennale Architettura 2021, various aspects of the URBiNAT project were presented by partners of the project during a special workshop hosted by the University of Nova Gorica partner of the URBiNAT-HORIZON 2020 project.

URBiNAT focuses on the regeneration and integration of underserved city districts.

Cultural heritage is considered a resource for local sustainable development, although there are some contradictions. The sites recognized as cultural heritage are increasing; the costs for functional maintenance/reuse are growing, while public resources available are becoming scarcer, and private actors are increasingly focused on the short time for payback.
