Heritage to be preserved, restored, enhanced

Reconciling heritage preservation and architectural evolution

With growing environmental sensitivity, buildings are evolving towards more sober lifestyles or more modern uses. Insulation, renewable energy devices or simple adaptation of buildings to new lifestyles; these changes must be reconciled with the preservation of heritage.

Architectural innovation is often restricted by the current restrictive regulatory provisions of town planning documents, which do not guarantee quality architecture. Intervention on old buildings requires, beyond the prescriptions, specific know-how to maintain and reinforce the architectural specificities of the territory through a contemporary expression. The aim is to disseminate good practices through demonstration sites, ensuring that the maintenance of vernacular architectural characteristics, the development of high environmental performance architecture and the architectural quality of the territory, particularly in relation to operational buildings, are reconciled. agricultural.

Finally, the preservation and promotion of archaeological heritage and in particular sites of archaeological interest contribute to the policy of space management and landscape preservation.
