"This paper is an attempt to redefine cultural heritage preservation spanning the space it occupies between social sciences, natural sciences and art. The concept of quasi-object defined by the anthropologists Bruno Latour is analyzed as an attempt to bridge the gap between the milieau as a subjective reality as lived and the environment as objectified by science. Such kind of a bridge is necessary in the definition of criteria for architectural/cultural value in the
process of preservation of heritage, often oscillating between universality and subjectivity."
