Abstract
The heritage field in general and heritage conservation in particular present a distinct discipline: the past, present and future are constantly at odds with each other. There is a need to find a balance between preservation and renewal and there is a constant discussion about what to preserve and how to preserve it. The discussion on what to preserve takes place in the field of valuation: the statement of significance. Decisions in the field of conservation have a high degree of complexity, as they involve many dimensions and multiple actors with possibly different and conflicting objectives (e.g. conservators, local authorities, owners).
