1) Australia ICOMOS New Membership

Do YOU know anyone who fits into the categories below who may be

There are many benefits associated with joining ICOMOS - not only the
fantastic people you will meet and the variety of interesting

2) ICOMOS-IFLA ISC for Cultural
Landscapes - a note from Juliet Ramsey
Some members of Australia ICOMOS have been on a small working
group that has helped provide me with information on cultural landscape
issues and I have sent them information from the ISC on seminars, meeting
reports etc. There has been a recent change in committee recruitment and
now more than one member per country can apply for membership.
Applicants are selected for their cultural landscape experience and
ability to work for the ISC. If you are interested, the ICOMOS ISC
website provides information about the ISC and its statutes.
I would like to refresh the working group as I have lost contact with a
few people whose email addresses have changed. In particular, it would be
helpful to have someone from Queensland, WA, NT and Tasmania. Once the
group has been re-established I will be seeking ideas on possible events
and issues in our region. If anyone is interested in being part of the
working group please contact me at:
Julietdmramsay@hotmail.com

"The conservation management of Borobudur and surrounding

*** And a number of expert architects, conservationists and historians
from around Australia and NZ who will present papers and panel

This symposium will examine the myriad of challenges surrounding the
documentation and conservation of twentieth century sites, including
individual buildings, townscapes and communities. Emphasis will be
focused on the architectural legacy of Modernism, in all its
international guises, and on public sites. These discussions on Modern
sites will be complemented by other presentations on the management of
townscapes in contexts that are much older (for instance Afghanistan and
Indonesia), but that face fundamental challenges presented by twentieth
century effects of war and globalization.
The symposium public lectures, panels and plenary presentations will
chart the processes of conservation through the themes of
"Documentation", "Heritage Policy and Implementation"
and "Conservation and Re-Use". Individual Invited speakers span
a wide breadth of international experience from academic historians and
conservation architects, to heritage practitioners and
policy-makers.
The symposium is being hosted by the Faculty of Architecture Building and
Planning, and the School of Historical Studies at the University of
Melbourne. The event is being generously sponsored and supported by: the
Australian Research Council, the University of Melbourne, the Australian
Academy of Humanities; Docomomo Australia, the Heritage Council of
