Cordoba’s particular geography and the presence of water —which is expressed on a complex hydrological system—, have become constant references since its origins and a potential instrument for its own development. Material traces in the territory, industries have emerged at the bank of the Suquía River forming a valuable heritage even though much of its architecture has lost its original function. Buildings and spaces —assigned to different functions such as production, transport or services— have shared active roles historically, maintaining both —place and architecture— a particular meaning. Taking the broad definition of natural and built heritage, this paper tries to map the connections between those buildings and Cordoba’s singular geography this is, we are trying to connect a set of properties that come from the industrial’s work social activity with the idea of a script that can reinforce identity from a symbolic capital that can be leveraged in a new game start.
