保护范式的逻辑忽视了自然和历史的变化和转型过程是地球上人类文明和遗产的起源和驱动力，而不是它们的敌人。由于所有人类行为都必然有助于人类遗产，即使是部分现有文化遗产的破坏也有助于当代的未来建设，并将使后代了解他们的过去。未来应被视为一个持续变革的过程，我们不能总是驾驭它，但我们可以适应它;它不仅蕴藏着风险，也蕴藏着机遇。最重要的问题不是有多少，以及任何一个时期的哪些遗产可能或可能无法生存到未来，而是我们建造和留下的遗产将最有利于后代。遗产保护和任何有关重建的决定都必须考虑到我们希望遗产在社会中发挥什么作用的问题，以便为今世后代创造具体的利益。
The logic of the conservation paradigm ignores that natural and historic processes of change and transformation are the origin and driver of human civilization and heritage on Earth, not their enemy. As all human actions necessarily contribute to the human legacy, even the destruction of parts of the existing cultural heritage contributes to contemporary future-making and will inform future generations’ understandings of their past. The future should be seen as a process of continuing transformation and change which we cannot always steer but to which we can adapt; it does not only harbour risks but also opportunities. The most important question is not how much, and which heritage of any one period may or may not survive into the future but what legacy, which we construct and leave behind, will come to benefit future generations the most. Heritage conservation and any decisions about reconstruction must be informed by the question of what we want the heritage to do in, and to society in order to create specific benefits for present and future generations.
