23. § The DCB method provides a suitable framework for HUL’s call for tools and
methods focussed at knowledge exchange for heritage planning.
Design Compe00on

• DCB tool grounded in the presented approach can posi,vely influenced the
architects’ understanding of the mul, layered diachronic history of the area
accordingly.
• It s,mulates architects to integrate long term historical narra,ves in their
designs and allows them to make be^er heritage informed decisions
taking into considera,on heritage conserva,on concerns.
