Abstract

To think of heritage in a different and future oriented way, the actual use, the everyday life within the building, its possibilities to transform and the social value as inscription of a present society production have to be reflected not only from the planners side but also from the users perspective and have to be communicated in different ways. In this paper three characteristic aspects of heritage – 1. Patina as reference to the material , 2. The immobile cultural vehicle, and 3. Collective memory as base are set into relation to the case study of the casa chorizo, which is part of a larger research framework on design paradigms for Lived Spaces as urban practice. The casa chorizo as popular housing typology in Buenos Aires (Argentina) due to its adaptability has come to be a space of continuous change, reflected connections and inscription
of users that can be an exemplary case within the future reflection on matters of heritage and the understanding of Lived Spaces.
