Nature’s Cycles and their effect on the Built Heritage of the Caribbean
Abstrak
Between 2020 and 2021, the world was paralyzed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Concurrently, the devastating effects of Greenhouse Gases, the cause of the drastic Climate Change that threatens us, were considerably reduced. Nature had a well-deserved respite when we were locked-up and immobile, and the architectural heritage was protected by stabilizing the drastic changes in the climate. Are we the protagonists of the devastation of the planet and consequently, of the destruction of our architectural heritage? The intervention processes for existing structures must respond, in a compatible way, to their particular building technologies and their geographical location. If the only “green” building is that which already exists, the recycling of its components and recovery are sustainable techniques that our ancestors used as a conscious process to protect, and not waste, the natural resources of our planet earth necessary for their survival.
