These conferences is a collaboration between the Consello da Cultura Galega and the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura of the University of A Coruña. It aims to highlight the diversity of tangible and intangible cultural values of port spaces, to analyse the complexity of their protection and, in addition, to present examples of recognised architectural actions related to ports. Lab2PT researcher Rebeca Blanco-Rotea will moderate the interdisciplinary round table ’The heritage values of Galician ports‘ with the participation of David Fernández Abella, archaeologist at the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC); Gael Sánchez Rivas, expert in Roads, Canals and Ports at the University of A Coruña (UdC); Xoán Carmona Badía, economist at the USC; and José Manuel Vázquez Lijó, historian at the UdC. This will be followed by the round table ‘Heritage protection and the regulatory framework of ports. The coexistence of port activity and heritage preservation’ moderated by Teresa Nieto Freire, coordinator of the Section of Heritage and Cultural Heritage of the Consello da Cultura Galega. And in the afternoon session several interventions will be presented on port spaces and maritime borders.
