Cultural heritage covers both tangible inheritance, such as buildings, artifacts and archives, and intangible inheritance, such as performance, craft and memory. Designers working in this area must decide how to preserve, represent or reinterpret these traditions for contemporary audiences. The choices often involve balancing authenticity with new forms of use.

Community projects under this topic range from museum and cultural centre proposals to product design drawn from traditional practices, experimental installations that reframe historical material, and projects addressing the social conditions around heritage. Work here examines how past forms can inform spatial, material and interactive design today.
