Heritage and cultural identity are intrinsic to the human experience, serving as a testament to the historical and cultural legacy of communities and nations. Architecture and the arts have played an instrumental role in shaping this legacy, from the spiritual and social dimensions of sacred architecture to the preservation of built heritage. In the modern world, the significance of preserving cultural heritage is more crucial than ever, with the threat of globalization and homogenization posing a threat to the unique identities of communities around the globe.
One of the primary areas of focus in the field of heritage conservation is the role of sacred architecture in shaping cultural identity. Sacred architecture has long been used as a means of expressing religious and spiritual beliefs, and the design and construction of these structures can have a profound impact on the communities they serve. It is doubtless that feeling unity with one’s heritage can promote social cohesion and serve as a physical manifestation of cultural heritage.
Another critical area of focus is the preservation of built heritage. The destruction and loss of cultural heritage sites have become increasingly common, with conflicts, natural disasters, and development posing a threat to these valuable pieces of history. Built heritage can also be used to promote cultural understanding and dialogue. Through the creation of cultural centers, public art installations, and other community-oriented initiatives, architects and artists can create spaces that promote cross-cultural communication and celebrate diversity.
In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the importance of heritage and identity conservation. Many governments and organizations around the world have taken steps to promote conservation efforts and provide funding for preservation projects. For example, UNESCO's World Heritage List identifies and protects sites of cultural and natural significance around the world, and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) provides guidelines for the conservation of cultural heritage.
The “Conservation of Architecture Heritage (CAH) – 8th Edition” Conference offers a platform for scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts to engage in dialogue and share insights and best practices on the preservation of cultural heritage. By exploring the role of sacred architecture, the preservation of built heritage, and the promotion of cultural understanding, we can ensure that our collective memory and cultural identity are preserved for generations to come.
The “Conservation of Architecture Heritage (CAH) – 8th Edition: Culture Preservation and sustainable tourism development” Conference aims to provide a platform for scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts to engage in dialogue and share insights and best practices on the preservation of cultural heritage. The conference will explore the role of sacred architecture, the preservation of built heritage, and the promotion of cultural understanding, to ensure that our collective memory and cultural identity are preserved for generations to come. Through the creation of cultural centers, public art installations, and other community-oriented initiatives, we can create spaces that promote cross-cultural communication and celebrate diversity.
The “Conservation of Architecture Heritage (CAH) – 8th Edition” Conference aims to address the critical need for preserving our cultural heritage in the face of globalization and homogenization. The conference will focus on the significance of heritage conservation, particularly the role of sacred architecture in shaping cultural identity, and the preservation of built heritage. It will provide a platform for scholars, practitioners, and enthusiasts to share best practices and explore solutions to the challenges faced in the preservation of cultural heritage. By bringing together experts in the field, the conference aims to promote a better understanding of the importance of heritage and identity conservation and its role in shaping our collective memory and cultural identity.

Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) is a series of peer-reviewed books based on important emerging research that redefines the current disciplinary boundaries in science, technology and innovation (STI) in order to develop integrated concepts for sustainable development. It not only discusses the progress made towards securing more resources, allocating smarter solutions, and rebalancing the relationship between nature and people, but also provides in-depth insights from comprehensive research that addresses the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN for 2030.
The series draws on the best research papers from various IEREK and other international conferences to promote the creation and development of viable solutions for a sustainable future and a positive societal transformation with the help of integrated and innovative science-based approaches. Including interdisciplinary contributions, it presents innovative approaches and highlights how they can best support both economic and sustainable development, through better use of data, more effective institutions, and global, local and individual action, for the welfare of all societies. The series particularly features conceptual and empirical contributions from various interrelated fields of science, technology and innovation, with an emphasis on digital transformation, that focus on providing practical solutions to ensure food, water and energy security to achieve the SDGs. It also presents new case studies offering concrete examples of how to resolve sustainable urbanization and environmental issues in different regions of the world. Read More.
The ASTI series is fully indexed in Scopus and any chapter/ paper published as part of this series will be seen on the Scopus database. Some titles have been successfully indexed or submitted for indexation in Web of Science (ISI).
