ABSTRACT

The decision to intervene in the architectural heritage must be based on scientific and cultural criteria according to its values. For this, it is necessary to determine what these values are. This research attempts to identify the values and sub-values of the built cultural heritage (its axiology) through the critical analysis of existing suggestions and debates within this subject according to national and international agreements and recommendations with the support of published research since the beginning of the XIX^th century. This chronological analysis has helped us to develop a table of values and sub-values evaluated and estimated before any intervention on the built heritage. The results helped finding the criteria while respecting the scientific and cultural evaluation of the work along with the emotions conveyed by stakeholders and users. In this paper, we also emphasize that we can identify, evaluate and classify the values before any intervention on the built heritage. This is significant and important because we think that can affect the type of architectural intervention in any decision-making. This work is intended for the general public and for technicians who intervene in the heritage without sufficient preparation. It can help them to read, to analyze and to understand the meanings of architectural works through the recognition of values that deserve to be preserved or recovered in a perspective of sustainability. All values must be taken as a major decision criterion to be evaluated before any patrimonial intervention, using a table of values; organized, prioritized and categorized into groups of sub-values.
