Abstract
The Fábrica de Loza Bogotana (a pottery industry founded in Bogotá) research project, carried out during severalyears by an interdisciplinary team, made evident the necessity of identifying and valuing cultural heritage throughmulti-component and relational concepts, rather than through traditional isolated categories such as object/monument/site that still underlie the notion of tangible heritage. The case is used as a reflection on ideas about industrialheritage, and as a means of contrast with the corresponding heritage policies developed in Colombia. Today thisunique example of Colombia’s industrialization process of the 19th Century is at risk. Paradoxically the current conservationpolicies have increased the threats to this pottery industry heritage instead of diminishing them. It is alsostated that determining the different values conferred to this industrial heritage are fundamental when proposinginterventions and construing its significance.
