Design Heritage
Design Heritage in architecture includes the physical features of buildings, materials, and construction methods that show the story of a place or culture. Many cities use special surveys to record and map these features, helping designers see which parts of a building or neighborhood have special value. These records help guide new projects so that important details, like original brickwork or roof shapes, are kept when updating or expanding old buildings. This process supports creative design choices that respect the past while allowing for new ideas.
