Heritage ‘in prac,ce’
• Unofficial and lived heritage prac%ces ‘in the wild’ • Heritage value and social significance of everyday ar%facts and places
• Heritage as cultural process unfolding through mul%ple interac%ons and shared engagements
On heritage ma@ers: Elisa Giaccardi (2011) Things we value, Interac(ons, 18:1, 17-‐21.

Dura,on as
experien,al construct
• Historical events and experiences are reconstructed and recomposed, mobilized in always changing ‘orders of meaning’ See: Gaston Bachelard, Dialec(cs of Dura(on See also: Kevin Lynch, Nigel ThriX, Brian Massumi

Pause as
point of cumula,on
• Memories and hopes precipitate in the moment, concurring to shape our immediate experience of the heritage

pause
Considers a person’s interac%on with the natural environment at a specific %me and in a specific place
Enhanced listening Field recording
I enjoyed the way it called my a=en(on to sounds I might not have a=ended to otherwise. I have enjoyed those trails more when I
walked them a@er recording there (Fogli & Giaccardi, AVI 2008)
dura,on
Considers how mul%ple experiences come together on very different levels to give resonance, meaning and value to a shared sense of heritage
Affec%ve visualiza%on Collabora%ve mapping
I learned from their trials. For example, there are not many animal sounds in the heat of the day, I no(ced, so I planned to walk later in the day (Fogli & Giaccardi, AVI 2008)
For heritage prac,ce…
Designing for Meaningful experiences
[Pause] Facilitate designs that enable people to connect to the heritage on a personal and in%mate level.
[Dura,on] Facilitate designs that enable people to par%cipate in the grounding and changing of heritage value and social significance.
Designing for Shared engagements

Challenges for HCI
Situated and extended
temporality
Understanding how personal experience develops over %me. See: Friedman & Nathan CHI 2010; Karapanos et al. CHI 2009; Khalid & Dix PUC 2010; Halloran et al. 2006; Iversen et al. 2010; McCarthy & Wright 2005)
Understanding how the significance of experience grounds and changes across a mul%tude of personal engagements.
