The valuation of campus built heritage from the student perspective: Comparative analysis of Rhodes University in South Africa and St. Mary's College of Maryland in the United States

Methodology of energy efficient building refurbishment: Application on two university campus-building case studies in Italy with engineering students

“…At educational level, as remarked by Crofton [15], the engineers must play a key role in global effort towards sustainability and moreover different experiences from a classroom case study have been already conducted [1,11,31,38,56]. Many system sustainable approaches have been investigated in the last decades on university campuses with implications to: social-economic and environmental aspect [23,43]; innovative technologies [24,26,29,45]; participation design process [19,41] tool simulation and ecological indicators [16,18,20,28,37,39,46].…”

Remnants of Scottish stone architecture in Nova Scotia

“…Therefore, it is likely that the nature and extent of perceived heritage worth will vary, depending on the extent to which people have a knowledge of the buildings that extends beyond a superficial aesthetic appreciation of their current appearance and context. The concept of value as attached to the historic built environment embodies a range of issues pertinent to the built environment and the term value can assume different definitions depending upon a range of factors, whether these be qualitative (as noted in Tweed and Sutherland 2007) or quantitative (for example, Ferrini andScarpa 2007, Poor andSnowball 2010). Vecco (2010) noted that the term 'heritage' has been used increasingly in a wider sense than simply referring to the physical asset, and that this in turn has allowed for less tangible historic goods to be recognised, valued and protected.…”

The Organization of a “Learnscape” Node in the Cognitive University Campuses Network in Poveglia Island

“…Values are not universal and depend on the point of view: preservation is a matter of appreciation for historical entities [77], an attitude and by no means absolute necessity [78]. Differentiating between value and valorisation can be hereby a first step to get the situation under control [79]: whereas the term 'to value' implies the appreciation of existing, 'valorising' is intended as 'giving added value'. That is to say that the specific values of the project are supplemented by 'added values' that should enhance and boost the first ones instead of diminish them [80].…”
