What is the role of conservation architecture in promoting human rights?

Conservation architecture can promote human rights by preserving cultural heritage sites, which plays a significant role in forming a sense of identity, community, and history. The preservation of these sites can help support the cultural and social rights of individuals, as well as the collective rights of communities.

Conservation architecture also helps provide access to safe, functional, and sustainable living spaces, which are essential for the enjoyment of economic, social, and environmental rights. These living spaces can be tailored to the specific needs of communities and can promote accessibility, inclusivity, and diversity.

Furthermore, conservation architecture can promote education and awareness of human rights by providing opportunities for learning and engagement with the past, present, and future. By preserving cultural heritage and providing functional and accessible living spaces, this architecture can help uphold basic human rights and promote social justice.
