Heritage care encompasses the built a nd unbuilt\, the complete landscape - how it was in the past\, what remain s today and how we want to bring it into the future. With persistent will from preservation to architectural redevelopment to remodelation. This is about science and response- ability.\n\n2- Everything built is a valuable resource!\nThe current paradigm shift enriches the discourse on sauvegarde \, brings it into the public focus and is at the same time a potential cau se for confusion\; the principles of sauvegarde threaten to be diluted. Le t us use the opportunity to define all types of preservation in a logical way - learn from the discipline of sauvegarde\, create public platforms\, spread public recognition\, and offer tools!\n\n3- Care knowing- through p ractise!\nArchitects are responsible researchers. A curious and profound i nvestigation of each specific constellation goes beyond historic contextua lisation: it starts and ends with the built reality.\n\n4- Redevelopment- a statement of our time!\nWe architects are generalists and at the same ti me constructeurs minutieux: How far do we go in carrying patrimoine to the future? A complex subject: true authenticity is anchored in the present\, it affects us all. Our contribution is to acquire the right for a buildin g or a landscape to be and to persist.\n\n5- Build durably! Building Herit age today\nEmbedded in a collective or a society and its traditions\, we f ind that there is no other labour than working with the existing\, and tra nsmit the appeal of building for hundreds of years.\n\nShort bio:\n\nMerit xell Vaquer i Fernàndez was born in Barcelona where she graduates as arch itect UPC-ETSAB with Josep Lluís Mateo in 1996 after an ERASMUS year at B ath University with Patrick Hodgkinson.
