“…Na pesquisa desenvolvida por Abdelmonem et al (2017), são avaliadas plataformas virtuais que procuram estimular a preservação do patrimônio cultural do Oriente Médio e que também sirvam como ferramenta de pesquisa, educação e engajamento. Eles consideram principalmente dois aspectos nas plataformas: a fidelidade da representação virtual de ambientes históricos e a incorporação de aspectos culturais.…”

Diversas tecnologias têm sido utilizadas para o levantamento e registro de edificações de interesse histórico. Para tanto, são utilizados sistemas complexos e sua visualização, muitas vezes, fica restrita a especialistas. A utilização de Realidade Virtual e Aumentada (RVA), como forma de difusão do patrimônio construído, pode facilitar o acesso à informação para o públicoleigo por meio de visita remota. Entretanto, para uma efetiva comunicação com o público, é importante que o modelo narrativo adotado seja apropriado.Tendo em vista o potencial dos sistemas de RVA para a difusão do patrimônio construído, esta pesquisa realiza uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura para identificar aplicações com esse propósito. Posteriormente, são analisados osmodelos narrativos adotados. Este estudo identifica a escassez de pesquisas na área e abre possibilidade para que novas aplicações de RVA sejam desenvolvidas para difusão do patrimônio arquitetônico.

“…Alexandria, an Egyptian city, along with other cities in developing countries are thought to be seeking the application of virtual reality for its severe need to preserve the physical heritage. Once again, Abdelmonem et al (2017) discussed in their paper the Middle East, including all developing countries, but with a focus on Medieval Cairo, as all developing countries share similar characteristics. Their paper discussed a framework for working with virtual heritage platforms.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the role of lean talent management (LTM) as a novel approach for optimising creativity in architectural design firms (ADFs) towards achieving divergent heritage sustainability (DHS). Design/methodology/approach To achieve the abovementioned aim, a mixed qualitative and quantitative methodology is designed to accomplish three objectives. First, investigating the relationship between heritage and urban development; types of heritage and the role of LTM in enhancing creativity in ADFs. Second, presenting and analysing six heritage-related case studies to assess the need for creative solutions based on extent of deterioration in three different places in Egypt. Third, outlining the results of a survey questionnaire conducted with a representative sample of ADFs in Egypt to investigate the role of LTM towards optimising creativity in ADFs for achieving DHS. Findings The extent of deterioration increased for modern heritage than old heritage. Conventional approaches adopted by ADFs failed to develop built environments that can bridge the gap between the diverse identities. Creativity was not optimised when talent management (TM) was integrated solely and architects failed to develop appropriate solutions. LTM use architects to allow expression of arts towards heritage sustainability through the built environment, in which they feel associated with physical heritage. Consequently, individuals’ intangible heritage is preserved in which they will less deteriorate the physical heritage. Hence, LTM is a paradigm shift that has a great potential for DHS. Research limitations/implications The survey questionnaire and case studies focused on the Egyptian context because the region is in critical need for effective creative solutions and for such research that is unprecedented in investigating this gap. However, findings are absolute and could be used at any country sharing the Egyptian context and wishing to achieve a DHS approach. Originality/value The research work presented in this paper is novel in approach as it integrates two divergent fields and highlights the concept of DHS with its threefold approach. In addition, the concept of LTM is proposed as a novel paradigm shift in which it has received scant attention especially relating to heritage sustainability. The proposed ideas represent a synthesis that is novel and creative in thought and adds to the existing body of knowledge for future research in LTM and DHS.

Early exposure to cultural heritage is necessary to preserve it from extinction. One form of cultural heritage that is now on the brink of extinction is the Terengganu brassware craft. Current young generations are mostly not interested in this heritage. Furthermore, intangible heritage in the form of knowledge and skills are only stored in the memory of the practitioners. Lack of documentation has led to the sole reliance on practitioners such that the knowledge is lost upon their demise. Hence, intangible heritage knowledge has to be acquired and stored in a knowledge base system to keep them in a systematic and permanent form. Manipulating and transferring the knowledge and skills will also ensure the continuity of this heritage, and ensure it can be accessed by future generations. This paper discusses the development of the knowledge base of Terengganu Brassware Craft as a digital preservation of cultural heritage. Knowledge acquisition was carried out using interview and observation techniques. Then, the knowledge is represented using ontology. This knowledge, in digital form, can be manipulated and disseminated to the community to ensure the continuity of the knowledge.
