Abstract

The present essay examines the influence of authenticity’s notion on
Industrial Heritage Reuse practices in Europe from the 1970’s onwards. This
consideration formed the motive of the carried-out analysis. Initially,
authenticity’s theoretical framework is being interpreted through its latent
relation to intangible heritage. Subsequently, later-established institutional
principles and guidelines regarding authenticity are explored from the same
perspective; demonstrating the gradual transition towards the consideration
of cultural diversity and intangible values and, also, towards the recognition of
industrial heritage’s significance and potential. Lastly, the spatial expression of
authenticity’s concept is analyzed with regard to industrial heritage reuse tactics
and classified into five categories, attesting to a clear connection between the
two variables.
