A FUTURE FOR WHOSE PAST? – A GUIDEBOOK

ICOMOS Suisse and Construction Heritage and Preservation, ETH Zurich (Eds.)

Fifty years after the first European Architectural Heritage Year, this book raises an important question: Do the objects protected as monuments and thus preserved for the future really represent the history of our society as a whole? To what extent are the experiences of minorities, marginalized people and those without a lobby part of the majority’s culture of remembrance?

The publication serves as a thematic guide for the 50th anniversary of the European Architectural Heritage Year 2025. A polyphonic, lively contribution to the discussion on social participation and cultural memory.
