Innovating the Heritage Context :
As an omnipresent preoccupation, can heritage conservation succeed without compromising an extensive exploration of contemporary architecture, our future heritage? Do the current practices of heritage conservation, founded on the notions of value, enable architects to engage their own creative values?
Supported by projects in the Leap database, this research will comparatively analyze and critique the value systems and approaches demonstrated in competitions involving additions, renovations and insertions in heritage sites in Canada, since 1990.
