A Return Trip to Traditions:Architectural Heritage Conservation in Spain and the Hermeneutical Discourse in Antonio Jiménez Torrecillas'Intervention in Historical Environment
The practice of a local-rooted architect is instructive for others around the world.Literature and case studies sort out initially the discourse and its ground in the practice of Spanish architect Antonio Jiménez Torre-cillas in relation to intervention in historical spaces and built environments.Torrecillas'practice is influenced by multiple traditions that have been developed in the spiral of the history of Spanish architectural and heritage inter-vention practices.He observed vernacular architecture,and made reflections and interpretations:through a com-parison of vernacular architecture in Granada and in the environment of similarities,clarified his understanding of the values and relationships between tradition,the contemporary and the future,articulating an approach to architectural practice that sees architecture as a communication system built on the mutual nourishment of widely perceivable collective references and individual references based on non-transferable experiences.At the same time,he reconciles the conflicting values encountered in heritage interventions in a sensitive way that allowing the values of tradition and physical remains to find a suitable articulation in the landscape.The relationship between his observational reflections and his practice is also an interpretation of the way he sketches an ideal practice.
