• Resumen

  • This study introduces a methodology grounded in Architectural Graphic Expression for analyzing relationships within heritage elements and spaces. Supported by the Recommendation on Historic Urban Landscape and its 2023 application report, it intends to move forward in contemporary architectural heritage management. Aiming to go beyond the conventional building-centered focus on heritage management, the study proposes an approach that explores intricate relationships between historic constructions and urban spaces. This shift aims to offer a more holistic and systemic understanding of urban heritage. The proposed methodology leverages graphic expression as a powerful tool to identify, analyze, and represent connections among heritage elements forming a historical narrative. It unfolds in two phases: (1) firstly, quantifying relationships through graphical representations to visualize the balance within the heritage system; (2) secondly, transferring this information to a Geographic Information System, creating georeferenced maps that accurately position the data in their real-world locations. The case study delves into the intricate relationships between the Royal Alcázar of Seville and the Port of the Indies, serving as a practical application of the proposed methodology. This exploration underscores the methodology’s potential in comprehending and effectively managing the complex relational networks inherent in urban heritage, demonstrating its relevance for contemporary conservation efforts. Lastly, the work proposes potential applications of this methodology, such as creating urban experiences like multiscale cultural routes.
