Past in the Present: A Living Heritage Approach - Meteora, Greece

A groundbreaking approach to heritage conservation, the Living Heritage Approach, challenges traditional paradigms by integrating communities and sites as inseparable entities. This innovative framework shifts focus from static preservation to a dynamic process of creation, emphasizing continuity rather than discontinuity between past and present. Using Meteora's monastic site in Greece as a case study, the research redefines authenticity and sustainable development, advocating for heritage that evolves organically with contemporary life. By doing so, it offers a new lens through which to perceive, protect, and further create living heritage sites.
