What is the role of cultural heritage interpretation in preserving heritage architecture?

Cultural heritage interpretation plays a crucial role in preserving heritage architecture by making it accessible and understandable to the general public. Interpretation makes heritage architecture more than just a physical structure by helping people see the context in which it was built and the meaning it had for the people who built it. This helps to create a greater sense of appreciation for the building and its significance, which can lead to increased support for its preservation. Interpretation can also help to identify areas where conservation and restoration efforts are needed, as well as inform the general public about the risks and challenges associated with preserving historic buildings. Overall, cultural heritage interpretation is critical in raising awareness and fostering appreciation for heritage architecture, which helps to ensure its preservation for future generations.
