Architecture heritage is defined as those buildings, structures, or sites that have historical, cultural, or architectural value and are considered important to preserve for future generations. This can include buildings or sites that have special significance due to their design, materials, construction, or the historical events associated with them. Heritage architecture is often also considered significant because it is part of a community's cultural identity and helps to define its past, present, and future. To be recognized as heritage, a building or site must meet certain criteria, including age, rarity, aesthetic significance, historical significance, social significance, and cultural value. Once recognized as heritage, buildings and sites are often protected by law and are subject to preservation and conservation efforts.
