Valuing Design and Innovation in Built Heritage : Exploratory Conversations

该项目旨在通过三组关键利益相关者之间的一系列有管理的对话来调查设计和创新的价值，这些利益相关者共同影响着建筑环境遗产背景下设计的使用和价值。这些学者、中小设计企业和国家遗产机构之间的对话将提供机会，讲述以设计为重点的中小企业如何能够或被阻止参与与遗产有关的创新，那些影响监管和治理的机构如何参与设计部门，以及他们如何共同理解与遗产有关的设计的作用和价值。我们的出发点是，虽然设计在满足未来需求的新型城市形式（建筑、公共空间等）中得到了广泛认可，但在保护与新的和扩展的地方相结合的选定遗产方面却没有得到很好的认可。对于创新的机会，使绝大多数现有的城市结构在未来变得更加智能，人们的关注就更少了。通过将那些重视遗产和设计的人聚集在一起进行直接对话，该项目不仅将突出设计中小企业能够创造价值的成功故事，还将更深入地了解阻碍其他企业取得成功的一些制约因素。

This project seeks to investigate the value of design and innovation through a set of managed dialogues between three key sets of stakeholders who together influence the use and value of design in the context of built environment heritage. These conversations between academics, design SMEs and the national heritage agencies will provide opportunities to narrate accounts of how design focussed SMEs have been able or inhibited from engaging with innovation in relation to heritage, how those agencies which influence regulation and governance are engaging with design sector, and how together they understand the role and value of design in relation to heritage. Our starting point is that while design is widely recognised in novel urban forms (buildings, public spaces etc) that meet future needs, it is less well recognised in conserving selected heritage that integrates with new and extended places. Still less attention has been given to opportunities for innovation to make the vast majority of the existing urban fabric smarter for the future. By bringing together those involved in valuing heritage and design into directed conversation, this project will not only highlight stories of success where design SMEs have been able to create value but also provide a deeper understanding of some of the constraints which hold back others from achieving such success.
