| Sumario: | This research seeks to demonstrate the intangible heritage value of twentieth-century modern architecture, which may seem somewhat confusing at first glance, but just as traditional and cultural festivals such as the Fallas of Valencia are considered intangible heritage, absent architectures should also be able to be considered heritage. Therefore, this research seeks to understand the value of modern architecture and, through different case studies of absent architecture, to observe whether or not they have sufficient architectural value to be preserved. This study covers all kinds of absent architectures, from reconstructed pavilion replicas, dismantled ephemeral architectures, demolished “ghost” constructions, unbuilt projects, and even theories that have shaped the history of architecture despite not being physical elements. In addition, this analysis challenges traditional methods of conservation and invites a rethinking of strategies that integrate new digital tools and innovative approaches to capture the essence of an ephemeral and constantly evolving heritage. |
