Abstract
This publication presents the Almere Heritage Cube: An Assessment framework for Participatory Heritage Valorisation in Almere. It reports a research project that has been conducted by researchers of Delft University of Technology and Eindhoven University of Technology in 2019-2020. Why Almere? What is an “Almere Heritage Cube”? Almere is representative of post-war heritage inclusive of experimental housing units and neighbourhoods representing the architectural and urban design trends of the post-war period. Although it is relatively young in age, and thus not well acknowledged by both academics and public, it possesses a significant characteristic. Based upon the observations and opinions of the residents, who know Almere best, the study explores what are the qualities of the living environments through innovative and participatory processes to preserve them for the future.
