The studio ‘Architecture between historical heritage and society’ discusses the relationship between existing heritage and newly-built constructions. The Fortress Medicea in the site, Siena was built in 1561 as the mark of war defeat against Florence. It is a sensitive symbol for residents in the past, nowadays and in the future. This essay aims to research the development of international heritage reservation theories and practices and find suitable approaches to deal with the new and the old in the studio project. It would be interesting and worthy to rethink and adopt the identity of the Fortress. Local residents’ and visitor’s attitudes towards the fortress and develop new functions in the future are also needed to consider.
