1) Message to ICOMOS
Greece
from Michael Petzet, President of ICOMOS |
|---|
Dear Nikos, Dear Colleagues of ICOMOS Greece,
On behalf of all ICOMOS members I would like to express our deepest grief
upon the tragedy taking place at the moment in Greece, especially on the
peninsula of the Peloponnesus. From what we have heard firestorms of
unimaginable magnitude are afflicting the whole countryside and have
transformed living cultural landscapes into charred grounds with infernal
devastation. ICOMOS mourns with those who have lost members of their
families and assures its highest appreciation to all those fighting the
fires at the foremost front and risking their lives to save others. Also
some of the most important monuments and sites of the country seem to be
at serious risk.
I am sure that all involved experts of ICOMOS Greece are doing their very
best in this desperate situation to help save the threatened monuments
and historic ensembles as well as the famous archaeological sites with
their museums, offices and archives. The fate of the World Heritage sites
of Olympia and of the Temple of Apollon Epicurius at Bassae - surrounded
by fire in the lonely heights of the remote Peloponnesian Mountains – is
particularly worrying to us all.
We hope very much that you and your families are safe from harm and in
good health.
If ICOMOS and its International Secretariat can be of any help please let
us know.
With my best regards
Michael Petzet
President of ICOMOS
*The thoughts of Australia ICOMOS members are also with the Greek
community at this difficult time.

2) 2007 UNESCO Heritage Award for
Bonython Hall, University of Adelaide
Last week the University of Adelaide received notification
that the conservation work on Bonython Hall received an Award of Merit in
the 2007 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards. It was the only
Australian project this year to receive an award.
The UNESCO Jury provided the following citation for the University of
Adelaide project:
The restoration of the Bonython Hall of the University of Adelaide is
notable for its excellence in standard-setting technical
achievement. The project exemplifies a model conservation process
that has utilized a sophisticated and clearly articulated Conservation
Management Plan to guide the execution of complex technical works and set
protocols for the long-term maintenance of the structure’s architectural
and historic values. The university landmark has been given a new
life through the consolidation of its Collegiate Gothic features and the
unobtrusive upgrade of its building services, thereby ensuring its
continued prominence in campus life and its iconic value throughout South
Australia.
The Conservation Management Plan (2005) had identified a number of issues
of concern, most particularly the condition of the Northern Turrets,
which were deteriorating and in need of significant reconstruction and
maintenance. The interior of the building was also extremely
uncomfortable on hot summer and cold winter days. The University
needed to make Bonython Hall comfortable and safe for University staff,
students and visitors, while maintaining its cultural heritage value.
Conservation and heritage consultants (and the University’s heritage
advisers) McDougall & Vines and Swanbury Penglase Architects worked
with the Property Services division of the University and developed
proposals for the conservation of the turrets and installation of air
conditioning. Careful planning and design means the current
appearance of the turrets is exactly as they were constructed in the
1930s, and the air conditioning has been slotted into the basement, with
the floor and ceiling vents in the hall hardly visible.
This project is the first in an ongoing program of carefully considered
maintenance, conservation and development of the University of Adelaide’s
30 heritage listed buildings.

underpin all aspects of heritage interpretation Indigenous, natural,
built or cultural.
The 2007 Conference includes dynamic papers and workshops. We’ve invited
presenters and facilitators to think outside the square thinking about
BUILDING BLOCKS in new ways will allow us to work together to invigorate
the interpretive process.

4) Research Seminar: The Construction
and Conception of pre-Angkorean Temple Architecture
DEAKIN UNIVERSITY
Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific
Thursday 6 th September from 4:30pm
The Construction and Conception of pre-Angkorean Temple
Architecture
Presenters: Dr Sambit Datta and Dr David Beynon
Senior Lecturers, School of Architecture and Building, Deakin
University
This presentation will track the geometric and architectonic basis of
pre-Angkorean temples in Cambodia. Their genesis and evolution, when
compared with Indian antecedents and parallel developments in Southeast
Asia, present intriguing evidence as to the architectural connections
between these areas in the fifth to eighth centuries.
The subjects of our presentation are among the earliest brick and stone
monuments extant in Southeast Asia. We will present pre-Angkorean temples
from three geographic locations in Cambodia: Hanchey, on the banks of the
Mekong River, where there is perhaps the oldest existing stone temple in
Cambodia; Sambor Prei Kuk, the earliest capital of the largest
pre-Angkorean kingdom, in the dusty central plains; and the sacred
mountain of Phnom Kulen.
As elaborations on the Brahmanic/Hindu cella with Indic, Javanese and
Cham antecedents, these square, rectangular and octagonal structures
present a pivotal body of evidence concerning the movement of religious,
structural and architectonic ideas across Asia that precede the
development of classical Angkorean architecture.
There is no entry charge and everyone is welcome

5) Historyweek 2007 - Living with the
Legacies
Living with the Legacies A Talk by NSW Government Architect
Peter Mould
for Historyweek 07
DATE Friday 21 September 2007 at 3pm
LOCATION Tusculum, 3 Manning Street, Potts Point, 2011, Sydney
BOOKINGS Laila Ellmoos 9372 8492 or
Laila.Ellmoos@commerce.nsw.gov.au
This is an official event of Historyweek supported by the
History Council of NSW
Governor Lachlan Macquarie appointed emancipist Francis Greenway as NSW’s
inaugural Colonial Architect in 1816. Greenway was
responsible for the design of some of the most significant public
buildings in NSW, including the Hyde Park Barracks and the Conservatorium
of Music.
Macquarie’s decision to appoint a Colonial Architect would prove to be a
foresighted one, and would lead to the formation of the Colonial
Architect’s Branch within the Department of Public Works in
1856.
Today, the NSW Government Architect’s Office continues the almost 200
year old legacy of designing and overseeing the construction of public
buildings throughout Sydney and NSW.
These include courthouses, libraries, hospitals, gaols and schools. The
Government Architect’s Office is also charged with the responsibility of
ensuring the ongoing life of those public buildings designed and built in
the 19th and 20th centuries.
In this talk for History Week 2007, the NSW Government Architect Peter
Mould will discuss the role of the Government Architect's Office in
designing public buildings throughout Sydney and NSW over the past two
centuries, and the challenges of adapting these buildings for
contemporary uses.
This talk will appeal to those interested in the built environment of
Sydney and NSW, especially architects, historians and flâneurs.

10) Fourth International Ename
Colloquium - Call for Papers
Dear Colleague:
The Province of East-Flanders and the Ename Center for Public Archaeology
and Heritage Presentation are pleased to announce
A first call for papers for the:
4th Annual Ename International Colloquium
to be held 26-29 March 2008 in Ghent, Belgium
BETWEEN OBJECTS AND IDEAS
Re-thinking the Role of Intangible Heritage in Museums,
Monuments, Landscapes, and Living Communities
With the adoption by UNESCO of the 2003 Convention for the
Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, a major new field of
heritage documentation, conservation, interpretation, and community
involvement has emerged. The 78 states-parties who have already ratified
or accepted the Convention have initiated national inventories of
Intangible Heritage, even as the precise definition, context, and
administration procedures for its preservation are still being discussed.
This three-day colloquium will present a wide range of perspectives and
predictions on the future of heritage policy, funding, interpretive
technologies, and public involvement in Europe and throughout the world.
· Is Intangible Heritage merely a new category of heritage subjects? Or
does it represent an entirely new approach to heritage that must
effectively integrate curated objects, protected places, living
traditions, and collective memory?
· What role do traditional rituals, art forms, and crafts play in the
life of the individuals and contemporary communities that maintain them?
· What is the appropriate relationship of Intangible Heritage to other
elements of “official” heritage like tangible objects, monuments, and
sites?
We are therefore seeking innovative contribution from heritage
administrators, cultural economists, archaeologists, historians,
educators, and cultural policy specialists as well as practitioners of
traditional intangible heritage under the following four themes
:
What is Intangible Cultural Heritage?
Who Owns Intangible Heritage?
Who Makes Intangible Heritage?
What is the Social Role of Intangible Heritage?
Abstracts for poster presentations, short papers (10 min.) and research
papers (20 min.) on these themes will be accepted until 15 November 2007.
They should be a maximum of 300 words, in English, sent either by fax to
+32-55-303-519 or by email to Claudia Liuzza at
colloquium@enamecenter.org . Authors should include full contact
information (name, institutional affiliation, mailing address, phone, fax
and e-mail address).
Notification of acceptance will be sent by 15 January 2008.
For questions or requests for additional information, please visit our
website
www.enamecenter.org or contact Eva Roels at
colloquium@enamecenter.org .
Please feel free to distribute this announcement to any interested
colleagues. We hope you will find this colloquium to be of interest and
look forward to seeing you in Ghent next year!

rights;
(f) the approval process for alterations to items on the SHR, including
the
rights of property owners and stakeholders; and
(g) resource and time efficiency.
4. The functions and constitution of the Heritage Council.
5. Consideration of local heritage processes and whether they warrant
improvement.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
13) Request for research
assistance
We have received this request:
I am a post-graduate Heritage Management student at the Ironbridge
Institute (Part of the University of Birmingham U.K.) researching the
current trend for allowing visitors to heritage sites to see ‘real’ work
in progress the sort of thing that until recently was carried out
’behind closed doors’ with the finished project being presented as a
‘fait accompli.’
I am interested in examples of conservation, archaeology and maintenance
where the work is carried out and interpreted in full view of visitors
(For example the National Trust U.K.’s ‘Conservation in Action’
programme, restoration of Oudry’s picture of a Rhinoceros at the Getty,
re-roofing work at Dunster and Croft Castles, U.K.). I am also interested
in ‘Conservator Cam’ type events.
Craft or skill demonstrations carried out specifically for the benefit of
visitors (where there is little, or no economic out-put) and live
costumed re-enactments of historic skills, fall outside the scope of the
study.
If any one reading the bulletin knows of any projects (either current, in
the planning stage or recent past) which would fall within the parameters
of my research at any museums, galleries or other historic sites in
Australasia I would be very pleased to hear from them.
Please contact me by email
lauravale@phonecoop.coop
Many thanks in advance for any assistance that you are
able to give me.
Yours sincerely
Laura Stevens
