5) News from ICOMOS
International Secretariat
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.

Fondation Le Corbusier: Grant for Young
Researcher
10 000 euro
Grant for Academinc Year 2009-2010
For the coming academic year 2009-10, the Fondation Le
Corbusier will attribute one grant to a young researcher wishing to devote
his/her studies to Le Corbusier's work.
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 proposal must show how the particular research project,
for which the Foundation's support is requested - necessarily confined to the
period of the grant - fits into a larger program or one of longer term (PhD,
institutional research, book project, etc.). 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.
The dossier must be sent to the Foundation on a digital
format: attached files by email or CD-Rom.
Applications should be received by June 30, 2009.
The results are expected to be published by October 1st,
2009.

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. Delegates will learn how the
rehabilitation and re-use of older buildings and existing neighbourhoods can
help save the planet - and how the green movement and architectural
conservation will become more integrated in the process.
The conference is designed to foster exchange and collaboration
through expert panels consisting of a session leader and presenters from the
heritage, environmental and green communities - each of them bringing the
perspective of their respective field. Each 15-20 minute presentation will use
research results, examples and case studies as stepping stones to broadly
applicable principles and/or concrete recommendations for practice.
