Institute for Research and Documentation of Arad’s Cultural Heritage Part 2 Project 2021 Roxana Ocos Technical University of Cluj-Napoca Cluj-Napoca | Romania As a definition, culture represents the total amount of material and spiritual values, intellectual and emotional “through which a person or a group expresses the humanity and the significations given to it’s on existence”. In this way culture is inherently connected to nowadays society, creative and consuming through the historical values inherited over the time and through the new contemporary technology and ideology. In spite of the fact that culture exists and lives with us, sometimes we are incapable to see it, to feel it, to value it.That’s why I believe that it is necessary to renew the strategy of the cultural sector as well as its shaping on a long term, in essence based on the relationship with the community, the right to access and participate to the cultural life, the improvement of the quality of peoples life and supporting the activities of cultural education, to raise awareness of citizens to be able to know to appreciate and consume the material and immaterial elements of the inheritance.In Arad country the material inheritance is the most valuable element of the Cultural Inheritance. In this way „The city has a potential of being a real museum of the open air with specific architecture styles of the XVIIth - XXth century, with the extremely valuable architecture of the city, given also by the stylistic unity.” For these reasons, I have chosen to approach a theme with the inherent commandment upon the local city society that is the realization of an Institute for Research and Documentation of Arad’s Cultural Heritage.
