Cultural Heritage as a Common Space

This article explores the relevance of common space in the context of cultural heritage conservation, emphasizing the stimulation of collective memory awareness regarding cultural heritage. In their work, Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri argue that there are currently two main types of commons: natural commons and social commons, which they fur-ther subdivide into five distinct categories. Among these, cultural heritage is classified as an intangible common good of ideas and cultural products.

Furthermore, Stavros Stavrides explores methods to stimulate collective perception of cultural heritage, arguing that collective memory can be stimulated and reconfigured. These methods involve creating an emotional attachment of people to cultural heritage, thus facilitating increased awareness and a deeper appreciation of it.

The article employs a mixed methodology, combining the theoretical analysis of the works of Hardt, Negri, and Stavrides with empirical studies to investigate and verify the effects of methods that stimulate collective perception of cultural heritage. This approach involves examining public space projects where these methods have been integrated into the design process, demonstrating the importance of strategic use of common spaces to enhance awareness and conservation of cultural heritage. The

conclusions emphasize that a strategic use of common spaces can lead to a deeper appreciation and conservation of cultural heritage.
