Abstract
Abstract. The importance of history and the role that culture plays on the population is well defined, but we have never researched culture in a truly collective way. Data digitisation and archiving could be transformed into an exceptional tool for connecting all different users and sectors of cultural heritage into a “Global heritage” interaction and communication. The research undertaken is summarised to the development of a crowdsourcing, interdisciplinary platform, under the name “Heritage for People”.The paper consists of 6 sections. The first of these concerns a general description of the problem, linked to the risks of cultural heritage. A closer analysis of the risks present in the historic center of Vienna follows. The third paragraph deals with the tools for planning and protecting the cultural heritage of the Austrian capital. The fourth section introduces the “Heritage for People” tool in which a new online platform is outlined. The fifth chapter is instead dedicated to a description of the possible technologies to be used, while the last section illustrates how the proposed platform can have other applications depending on the cultural heritage.
Highlights
The conflict between the desire to modernize large metropolises and the desire to preserve the artistic, historical and cultural heritage has always represented a considerable problem for the municipalities
What the different figures involved in the planning of the metropolis ask themselves is if there is, in some way, a way to no longer see cultural heritage and modern architecture as eternal enemies
Contemporary architecture and cultural heritage can coexist in a single context when knowledge of the former represents a starting point for the latter
Summary
The conflict between the desire to modernize large metropolises and the desire to preserve the artistic, historical and cultural heritage has always represented a considerable problem for the municipalities. What the different figures involved in the planning of the metropolis ask themselves is if there is, in some way, a way to no longer see cultural heritage and modern architecture as eternal enemies. These two elements, through a wise exploitation of existing technologies, can represent a perfectly functioning combination in cities where desire for the future meets passion for the past. Contemporary architecture and cultural heritage can coexist in a single context when knowledge of the former represents a starting point for the latter Underlying all this is a need for knowledge and collaboration between the different actors, such as architects, urban planners, members of the local and non-local community, municipalities and others. A modern and sustainable way to connect all these actors is the development of a system of data exchange, loading and unloading, through which knowledge becomes an asset for everyone
