Summary/Abstract: Cultural heritage is related to the build patrimony, to the preserved urban areas, urban activities and tendencies, but also to the perseverance to complete, in the spirit of a unitary space, through continuity, the established values. Memory is related to the identification of images, as a proportion, color, detail, silhouette and atmosphere. Perception of deep space lines is related to the retrieval of objects that defined architectural history and memory locations. The sum of these elements is essential for memory image and its replication in mind. Identity is related to the ‘space sense’, and it is the extension from which a person could recognize a space as a distinct existing form, different from another one, being unique, particularity, and having its own characteristics. The sense depends on the shape space and its quality, but also on culture, temperament, status, experience, and current acuity of the observer. This paper exemplifies these ideas related to urban memory and continuity by describing some significant projects.
