| Summary: | In the paper "Public space built as living heritage", the same authors argued the substantial condition of public space as cultural heritage. In this paper, we are going to discuss heritage buildings that, having lost their original use, undergo a rehabilitation process that includes a change of use. Only a small part of the inherited architectural heritage can be preserved in a more or less consolidated ruined state. The majority, however, has to recover its usefulness through a new function that satisfies new needs. A key concept in this process is the compatibility of the new intended use with the existing building's shell. It is, in general, the recovery of utility that brings architectural heritage back to life. The selected examples are three different-scale buildings, located in Galicia, that have been rehabilitated with changes to their former use.
