Тhe role of quasi-objects within the space between art, architecture and preservation of cultural heritage

This paper is an attempt to redefine cultural heritage preservation spanning the space it occupies between social sciences, natural sciences and art. The concept of quasi-object defined by the anthropologists Bruno Latour is analyzed as an attempt to bridge the gap between the milieau as a subjectively reality as lived and the environment as objectified by science. Such kind of bridge is necessary in the definition of criteria for architectural/cultural value in the process of preservation of heritage, often oscillating between universality and subjectivity.
