Technological innovation to promote heritage knowledge process

The process of acceleration of cultural exchanges contributed to the consolidation of a shared European identity where the recognition of the importance of protection of local diversity is more and more increasing and it outlines the need to develop appropriate tools and procedures to support the principles of the protection and safeguarding of cultural heritage in individual countries. Heritage preservation and promotion requires the organisation of appropriate knowledge processes, oriented to built environment suitability for transformations, users’ needs definition, vocations analysis. A cultural debate among technicians, specialists and researchers, has taken into account the aims, structures, opportunities of knowledge processes to built environment heritage. Special attention is given to connections between buildings and liveable environments, to mutual consequences in designing new scenarios involving different scales.
