The research project is developing a participatory method to assess the value and potential of existing buildings. Thus, the project contributes to the improvement of the built environment by focusing on people and their perception. It provides them with tools to connect with places and enables them to actively participate in their transformation. This can benefit a wide range of stakeholders, such as architects, local authorities and spatial and urban developers.
