1) Australia ICOMOS New Membership Applications

Australia ICOMOS welcomes new members and encourages applications to be made to the Secretariat. The membership forms and details are available on the web page www.icomos.org/australia and from Nola Miles at the Secretariat, phone 03 9251 7131 or austicomos@deakin.edu.au. Existing members are often involved in encouraging new members to join and in providing nominations, so it is important that they are aware of the procedures.

As a professional organisation, Australia ICOMOS takes pride in its membership. We have an established process for members applications and a number of categories of membership to cater for people with different levels of experience and interests. For full international members, the application requirements are more onerous and include:

·        At least three years professional experience with a core focus on heritage conservation;
·        Demonstrated willingness and ability to practice within the terms of the Burra Charter and the Ethical Commitment Statement;
·        A completed application form with signed nominations by two financial, Full International Members of ICOMOS;
·        A brief (50-100 words) statement from one of your nominators supporting your application;
·        A statement of relevant professional experience;
·        A full Curriculum Vitae; and
·        Payment of the correct fee.

The statement of relevant professional experience is an important component of the application as it allows applicants to demonstrate the required experience focussed on heritage conservation, especially the use of the Burra Charter and ability to practice within the Ethical Commitment Statement. It is different from the standard CV.


All applications are received at the Secretariat and referred to the Executive Committee for consideration. Completed applications must be received three weeks before the Executive Committee meeting date to allow consideration otherwise they are held over to the next meeting.

People who want to apply for Australia ICOMOS membership for the 2007 Extreme Heritage Conference in July and get members rates will need to submit applications to the Secretariat by 4 April to allow consideration at the April meeting.

Please contact the Membership Secretary, Helen Lardner on h.lardner@hlcd.com.au if further information is required.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2) Are you interested in Industrial Heritage?

At next year’s General Assembly in Quebec, ICOMOS will consider the adoption of the TICCIH / ICOMOS Charter on Industrial Heritage (the Nizhny Tagil Charter). TICCIH is the international organisation for industrial heritage and is a special adviser to ICOMOS. This charter was written by TICCIH and will be presented to ICOMOS for ratification and for eventual approval by UNESCO. It can be viewed on http://www.mnactec.com/ticcih/industrial.htm

Now is the time for Australia ICOMOS to provide comments on the draft Charter. Comments can be emailed to Helen Lardner h.lardner@hlcd.com.au for collation. There is also an informal TICCIH Australia email group so please also email if you wish to be added to that group. The comments on the draft Charter will be passed on to Kristal Buckley, International Vice President ICOMOS, for consideration as part of the ICOMOS process of adopting the Charter.

For more information on TICCIH, see http://www.ticcih.org/

5) eXtreme heritage Conference Update

Cairns 19th-21st July

Susan McIntyre-Tamwoy on behalf of the Conference Organizing Committee.
susan.mcintyretamwoy@jcu.edu.au

New information is being added to the conference website all the time! Some of the latest information includes profiles and photos of our key note speaker John Hurd and of Malcolm McCulloch, one of the presenters in our Public Forum on Heritage and Climate Change.

A call for papers for the Symposium on Heritage and Climate Change which is being held on the 19th July has also been added to the Call for Papers page. More information about this important event is included on the ‘workshops’ page of the forum. If you know of anyone who has something to contribute to this discussion please contact me or one of the 3 convenors of the symposium listed on the website.

The committee has also decided to have a formal poster session/exhibition at this conference. Abstracts for poster contributions can also be submitted via the ‘Call for Papers’ page.  This is an ideal way to showcase the work of your heritage business/agency. It is hoped that this exhibition can be left in place for a few weeks to enable students, staff and visitors to JCU to see the range of interesting and exciting work being undertaken by heritage professionals and agencies in Australia and the region. The opening of the poster exhibition will be built into the program of the conference with a wine and cheese reception.

The Call for Abstracts closes on MARCH 9th so hurry and get that idea for a paper in the symposium and/or the conference; or that idea for a poster, down on paper (well cyberspace as submission is on line via the website!).

We are actively seeking sponsorship to assist with the conference costs and to subsidize a number of specific areas such as:
·        Functions including the conference dinner, public forum and welcome reception; poster exhibition launch and Cook Island hungi.
·        Assistance with airfares and travel costs for ICOMOS Pasifika delegates
·        Assistance with travel costs for Aboriginal and Torres strait Islander delegates
·        Assistance with drawcard speakers for various sessions.


Sponsorship details are included on the website. If you have any suggestions of likely sponsors please email them to me; or if you would like to be a sponsor yourself please contact the conference managers at info@wsm.com.au  On that note the conference organizing committee would like to thank Godden Mackay Logan Pty Ltd for their commitment of a generous conference donation.

Don’t forget that another way that you can assist is in providing a prize for the Conference Dinner Raffle which I mentioned in last weeks e-news. This raffle supports the AICOMOS funds for assistance to

·        Pacific Training,
·        Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander conference attendance and
·        Student Bursaries

Send any pledges of prizes to jennifer.gabriel1@jcu.edu.au or actual prizes mail to AICOMOS Conference

7) Final Call for Papers: CSAAR 2007 Conference

Regional Architecture and Identity in the Age of Globalization:

Call for Papers: Extended Deadline February 25, 2007

Regional Architecture and Identity in the Age of Globalization

CSAAR 2007

The Center for the Study of Architecture in the Arab Region (CSAAR)
( www.csaar-center.org)

In Collaboration with
Department of Architecture,
National School of Architecture and Urbanism, Tunis, Tunisia
13-15 November, 2007

Introduction

Developments in transportation, communication and networking technologies in recent decades have instigated unprecedented flow of people, goods, and information across the globe, a phenomenon that has shaped the all-powerful thrust of globalization. This phenomenon led a drive for taking a universal outlook on social, economic, and environmental issues, but at the same time, instigated a wave of criticism. With its tendency to blur the boundaries among nations and cultures, globalization is seen as benevolent and progressive by some, and malevolent and regressive by others. While one camp promises economic prosperity for partners of global exchanges, the counterpart protests the potential of the exchanges to breed erosion in societal identities of regions and nations. The opposing views tackle all aspects of human living, and as such, spread broadly to the academia and the professions where heated debates on global issues are now enduring. CSAAR 2007 conference addresses regional architecture and identity in the built environment in the context of globalization. The conference will focus on the study of increasing contradictions between the "modernization" of regions on the one hand and the cultural identity of these places on the other.
Though the recent tide of globalization is very strong, it is clear that there is also a countervailing need for regionalism. We propose that globalization can only succeed on the basis of healthy regionalism. It is evident that under strong globalization trends, regional identities did not disappear. On the contrary, they have tenaciously continued to express themselves urbanisiticlly, architecturally, and behaviorally. The conference intends to use this proposition as a point of departure to explore and examine the various discourses regarding regionalism, globalization and their impact on the built environment. Questions to be asked and issues to be considered include: regional architecture and how it is being (re)defined, interaction(s) between the regional and the global, the intersection between colonial past and contemporary architectural productions, the regional dynamics of architectural/cultural flows, the trends of regionalism and how they coexist, compete or contradict with the process of globalization, the role of architecture in connecting people and cultures across geographical and chronological boundaries, the role of the state in promoting/ constructing various types of cultural identities, bridging the gab between Regionalism and Modernization, how regional architecture can surmount the limitations of constant forms of the past, to what level features of contemporary urban developments respond more to global (economic) conditions than to local or national ones, to what extent regionalism accept other regions traditions and incorporate and integrate new technological, and environmental inventions.

Topics of Interest
We invite scholars and practitioners in architecture, urban design and related fields to submit papers on any topic related to conference theme.
