Intramuros Learning Sessions episode no. 55
Overview
Ancestral homes may continue as habitable spaces and heritage districts as interactive destinations and not merely as just repositories of old structures. Heritage conservation in localities comes from within and adaptive reuse practices are determined by how the present owners embrace the evolution of their families. Heritage conservation is a dynamic process. What’s constant are the tangible reminders and collective memory passed on from one generation to another.
