Answer:
Built heritage is the physical component of the identity of a village, town or city. Through its buildings, we get to know the social, economic and cultural fabric of the place. Great incidents, great personalities and local produce are intertwined with the architecture of the region. If you want to know who you are, you have to conserve these important urban neighborhoods.
It is not good because it is old, it is old because it is good’. There is a certain quality of aged buildings that unfailingly captivates us. From the classical buildings along Avenue des Champs-Élysées to a small mud structure in Fontainhas, they are downright beautiful. The carefully calculated facades, the corbels carrying the roof beyond the wall, the intricate cast iron grills, the limes plastered surfaces, the soiled clay tiles, sagging wooden rafters, the flutes in the columns – some of these may be such rudimentary elements, but the scarcity of such things in this day and age puts it up on a pedestal. They have to be preserved because they are special pieces of craftsmanship.
