5) News from ICOMOS International Secretariat

 

Obituary: Dr. Armen Haghnazarian, ICOMOS Armenia

 

After a grave illness, Doctor of Architecture, Founding Director of the Research on Armenian Architecture (RAA) Organisation and member of ICOMOS Armenia Armen Haghnazarian departed this life at the age of 68. His lifetime and activity was characterized by selfless devotion to the field of historical and cultural heritage, and he remained a fervent advocate of its preservation until the very last moment of his life.

 

ICOMOS deeply mourns the loss of a dear friend and member. Armen Haghnazarian was an exceptional professional whose devotion set an example for his contemporaries and will still be shared by those who will choose the path of historical heritage preservation in the future. Unfortunately, it was not easy to express high appreciation of, and gratitude for, Armen Haghnazarian's work in his lifetime: he was always busy with his numerous projects and did not have time to listen to words of praise. ICOMOS hopes that his memory will be honored by many young members worldwide through positive action in favour of the preservation of cultural heritage.

Center for the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments of Culture in Albania

 

Following the Albanian Government's request to UNESCO, to open a training center for new restorers, the Ministry of Culture of Albania and UNESCO, signed an agreement for the creation of the 'Center for the conservation and restoration of Monuments of Culture of Albania' in June 2005. This was possible thanks to the funding of Italian Government with an amount of 1.481.037,5 USD. The aim of this Center is to train members which are employed in the different institutions, under the authority, of Ministry of the Culture. The aim of the training is to upgrade the skills and so increase the capability of the Albanian administration concerned with the protection of monuments and immobile/mobile artefacts to ensure the physical safeguard of these monuments.

 

The Alba Film building, (constructed in 1952) was the most appropriate place for the Centre of the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments of Culture which occupies a space of around 450 m2. A project, by, IMK's architects and engineers was followed by a very good and qualitative reconstruction works.

 

On 11th January 2007, for the first time in our country, The Center for the Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Monuments, started its activity, which in a period of 18 months, will train 20 members from the Institute of Cultural Monuments, Regional Directors for the Monuments in various cities of Albania, members from archaeological parks and the National Gallery of Arts as well. The first lectures were held by Albanian professors, well known specialists of IMK, which were then followed by Italian specialists from important institutions in Italy. Two courses with 20 trainers were therefore be held: one addressed to architects, the other to restorers. The courses lasted 18 months and they are organized in 3 semesters, each divided into two parts, practical and theoretical. Foreseeing 6 hours day, each semester consisted of 720 hours each: half of this amount (360 hours per semester) was devoted to theoretical lectures, half to practical courses.

 

Theoretical lectures and laboratories are held in the Center, where the restorers work on graphic and photographic documentation, project planning and intervention, even on the conservation of the Mihal Anagnosti icons, artist of the post Byzantine period in Albania. The wonderful city of Berat was chosen for the location of the workshop, which last July, was included in the list of World Heritage Sites. The architects group, worked on the study, architectural design and documentation of three important Monuments in the historical center of the city, namely: the Church of St. Maria Vllaherna, the Red Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Trinity. These monuments offered many interesting aspects to be studied and different conservation problems. Most of them were restored 20-30 years ago by the Institute of Cultural Monuments of Tirana which has nevertheless kept a lot of relative documents in its archive. The work includes: Survey of the buildings, using traditional systems, analysis of historical data, analysis of structural aspects of the buildings, analysis of problems on the material surfaces of buildings, reconstruction of the main historical phases of the buildings, with 3D drawings and the drawing up of the final project.

 

At the same time the restorers group works on the frescos of St. Nicolas church which date back to 1591 and were painted by the very well known painter of XVI century, Onufer Qiprioti. They carried out detailed photographic and graphic documentation using the Photoshop program and mapping the state of conservation and the technique necessary for the painting, and afterwards the intervention of conservation itself. All the chosen monuments, are situated in one of three historical zones of Berat, inside the historic walls at the top of the hill. They are also on the list of National Culture Heritage.

 

The Center for the Conservation and the Restoration of Monuments of Culture, according the agreement, will continue the activity for the upgrading the skills of the Albanian restorers, up to October 2009. We are very proud to confirm, that it is a very successful project and at the some time we would like to express our gratitude to UNESCO, and Italian Government being very shore, in the possibility to continue the activity of the Center for the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments of Culture, in the future.

The research proposals should concern primarily the aspects of his work that have not been the subject of sufficient in-depth research, or, in the case of areas already studied, propose an original approach (multi-disciplinary, comparative, transverse, etc.). All of the aspects of Le Corbusier's work are acceptable as research subjects: building works, unrealized architectural or urban projects, furniture, the plastic arts - painting, drawing, tapestry, exhibitions, etc. - writings (published or not); biographical research contributing to an understanding of the man and his work may also be proposed.

 

Applicants must be young (maximum age 35), working toward a master's or postgraduate degree (fine arts, architecture, history, urbanism, art history, law, etc.), and preferably working in a research laboratory or similar scientific facility.

The candidates must justify their intended use of the Foundation's aid and the reasons it is necessary to meet specific demands in pursuing a certain aspect of their research (travel, scheduling, purchase of materials, fees, etc.).

 

The grant request must consist of: a 20-page description of the research project (methodology, hypotheses, nature of the expected results, summary bibliography, calendar), a curriculum vitae, a list of works already completed, and two letters of recommendation from researchers, teachers, architects or well-known figures. The candidates must also inform the Foundation of any aid requested or obtained from other public or private sources relative to the proposed project.

 

The amount of the grant is 10,000 euros. This sum is distributed as follows: one third at the signing of the contract, one third upon presentation of a mid-term progress report, one third upon presentation of the final report.

Heritage Canada Foundation - Call for Abstracts and Proposals: The Heritage Imperative: Old Buildings in an Age of Environmental Crisis

 

24 - 26 September 2009, Fairmont Royal York Hotel, Toronto (Canada)

 

Climate change. Green building. Economic renewal. Older buildings have answers for the biggest questions of our generation.

 

The 2009 Heritage Canada Foundation conference will bring together delegates and speakers from the fields of heritage preservation, environmental conservation and green building to explore these themes. This is an essential event for advocates, municipal planners, developers, public policy makers, elected officials and property owners.
