Regretfully, most of these transformations have not received the necessary technical advice or participation of citizens to ensure that both the population ́s requirements are met and the city ́s valuable heritage is protected. Faced with this problem, research projects that coordinate the participation of researcher-academics, professionals and students, are an effective way to achieve successful solutions. Through a historical-architectural property analysis, a detailed diagnostic assessment and the technical judgment of professionals, as well as the incorporation of the resident population via the surveys carried out, this paper addresses mechanisms to ensure an attitude of respect for, and appreciation and awareness of the spatial and environmental conditions that provide solutions for these properties, which are aimed at providing social welfare to those who live there and at the same time should be preserved to bequeath to society.  El centro histórico de Camagüey, declarado Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad en 2008, atesora un número considerable de edificios correspondientes al Movimiento Moderno, construidos en la década de 1950, que sufren actualmente modificaciones para satisfacer nuevas necesidades de la población que reside en ellos. Lamentablemente, las intervenciones en el patrimonio no siempre han contado con la asesoría técnica ni con la participación ciudadana necesarias para asegurar, por un lado, respuestas a los requerimientos de la población y, por otro, el resguardo del valioso patrimonio que atesora la ciudad. Ante esta problemática, los proyectos de investigación que articulan la participación de académicos-investigadores, profesionales y estudiantes, constituyen una vía eficaz para alcanzar soluciones acertadas. Mediante un análisis histórico-arquitectónico de los inmuebles, un diagnóstico detallado de las transformaciones y el criterio técnico de los profesionales, así como la incorporación de la población residente a través de las encuestas realizadas; se aborda aquí mecanismos para garantizar un pensamiento de respeto, (hacia los valores espaciales y ambientales que brindan las soluciones de estos inmuebles) valoración y sensibilización hacia las condiciones espaciales y ambientales que brindan las soluciones de estos inmuebles, las que están dirigidas a dar bienestar social a quienes los habitan y, al mismo tiempo, deben ser conservadas para legarlas a la sociedad.  Universidad del Bío-Bío, Chile 2016-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://revistas.ubiobio.cl/index.php/AS/article/view/2300 ARQUITECTURAS DEL SUR; V.34, N.49 (Junio 2016): ARQUITECTURA Y TRANSFORMACIÓN SOCIAL; 56-65 ARQUITECTURAS DEL SUR; V.34, N.49 (Junio 2016): ARQUITECTURA Y TRANSFORMACIÓN SOCIAL; 56-65 ARQUITECTURAS DEL SUR; V.34, N.49 (Junio 2016): ARQUITECTURA Y TRANSFORMACIÓN SOCIAL; 56-65 0719-6466 0716-2677 spa https://revistas.ubiobio.cl/index.php/AS/article/view/2300/2139
