| description | Over the last few years, we have been witnessing countless disaster situations (i.e. fires, floods, earthquakes...) and the consequent degradation, disappearance and irreparable damage to heritage assets that bear fundamental witness to history, memory and identity. We want to provide herein some thoughts on the threats and dangers, the fragilities and vulnerabilities that impact on our Heritage, and offer a reminder of its capacity for resistance to time and history´s hazards, against all difficulties, in an eternal cycle of creation, destruction and "renaissance". In addition, based on developments concerning documentation and recording techniques, new perspectives are opening up for some typologies. This paper will focus on the significance of images to our Cultural Heritage as a tool to raise awareness, as a record and as data, as a testimony of our collective memory, and also as a means for recovery and re-creation. |
