TOOLS FOR CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE PRACTICE

DESIGNING WITH THE INTANGIBLE

LIVING HERITAGE COMMUNITY PROMPTS

• These prompts have been prepared as a practical tool for engaging the local community with living heritage. They are editable so you can use what you find useful and edit or discard everything else.

​

• They can be used in three ways:

​

• You could use them as part of a community PowerPoint presentation

​

• You could print them full scale and pin them up at a community event, using sticky notes to gather answers

​

• You could print them ‘four to a page’ on thick paper or card and use them as like a deck of cards
