Imaginaries and itineraries of consumption in heritage architecture

Abstract

It is through the promotion of itineraries of consumption that physical and spatial structure of the architectural heritage in the historic centre of Aguascalientes is transformed. Although the new architectural restorations are questionable, interest in historic preservation is gradually increasing in academic scopes. However, Francisco I. Madero and Venustiano Carranza Avenues now offer new communication routes, especially designed for young people. It is noteworthy that, contrary to popular belief, the historic centre remains of great importance to younger generations, and they also enjoy heritage preservation. This can serve to develop intervention plans tailored to users. It is necessary to regulate intervention works in these spaces and incorporate new preservation alternatives related to the sustainable cities and circular economy. The culture of consumption is important today, as well as it is the preservation of the cultural capital of the city centre.
