Abstract
The chapter offers a brief description of the subject of the volume. It introduces the hypothesis of heritage through the heterotopic lens, of heritage as heterotopia , and identifies the main arguments of this approach, along with the main perspectives involved—heritage theory, conservation and restoration theory, and urban and architectural theory—in order to identify the coordinates and functioning algorithms that can create, shape or condition the heterotopic character of the heritage object.
