Any theoretical framework designed to safeguard cultural heritage must address the question of “how” to ensure the continued existence of historical buildings and sites. In light of the disconnection from tradition and the past brought about by modernity, the proposed framework should strive to reestablish this severed connection. The objective of this article is to introduce a new framework for preserving historical buildings and sites, to revitalize this heritage. It examines how a narrative approach can confer significance and longevity to this heritage, enabling it not only to persist but also to evolve into an influential societal element while retaining its distinct identity and adapting to temporal changes for its preservation. Additionally, the article investigates integrating this approach with other methods to achieve sustainable outcomes in heritage preservation.
