1. Australian Heritage Conference, Rymill House (SA), 18 April 2013

An Australian Heritage Conference (incorporating SA Perspectives) is to be held at Rymill House on 18 April 2013 together with the Heritage Icons Gala Dinner. This conference represents an opportunity to discover and contribute to making heritage the heartbeat of Adelaide and South Australia by contributing to progressive heritage and planning policy. The 2013 conference invites diverse stakeholders to focus on the “value of heritage” from National, South Australian and local heritage perspectives and regulatory regimes.

The agenda aims to explore the dimensions of the “value of heritage”:

  • determining the drivers of the economics of heritage
  • debating appropriate policies to unlock the value of heritage uncovering techniques to promote heritage nationally and internationally
  • integrating cities and rural regions
  • understanding and benchmarking best practice in managing and creating value in heritage
  • considering progressive ways to better restore, sustain and enrich heritage for future generations

The desired outcomes of this Conference are to:

  • Have speakers provide practical recommendations in relation to their topics presented to affect the aims of the Conference
  • Have speakers form a Panel discuss and debate those recommendations with Conference delegates
  • Draw conclusions and provide a summary of the Conference findings to policy makers and relevant stakeholders for consideration and action

Presenters include the Hon. Tony Burke MP Federal Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, the Hon. John Rau MP Minister for Planning, South Australia Professor David Throsby Department of Economics, Macquarie University and others.

2. International Day for Monuments and Sites, 18 April

Theme 2013: The Heritage of Education

Only one month to go!

Every year on 18 April, ICOMOS celebrates the “International Day for Monuments and Sites”, whose establishment was approved by the 22nd UNESCO General Conference in 1983. The theme for 2013 is the Heritage of Education.

Aim of the International Day

The aim of the International Day for Monuments and Sites is to encourage local communities and individuals throughout the world to consider the importance of cultural heritage to their lives, identities and communities, and to promote awareness of its diversity and vulnerability and the efforts required to protect and conserve it.

2013 Theme: the Heritage of Education

Throughout history and in different geo-cultural contexts, education was practised in a wide range of places or buildings. Open spaces, agora or the protective shadow of a tree could be useful for the transmission of knowledge, but also specific institutional buildings such as schools, universities, madrasas, academies, libraries, monasteries, etc.

Many of those buildings, groups of buildings or sites are recognised as bearing not only social or institutional values but also historic or artistic ones, and have therefore become a significant part of our cultural heritage.

The protection and conservation of the heritage of education not only implies preserving cultural assets but also, at the same time, celebrating education as one of the fundamental human tasks.

Read more about the theme

Events and activities

18 April is celebrated all over the world by a wide range of organisations and many ICOMOS National and International Scientific Committees.

Events include scientific conferences and symposia, exhibitions, photography competitions, excursions, press conferences, the awarding of prizes, releasing press releases, publishing magazine articles, projecting films etc.

3. Port Arthur Talk, Thursday 11 April 2013

Hearts of iron? Lawyers in Van Diemen’s Land, 1824-1836
presented by Associate Professor Stefan Petrow

Between 1824 when the Supreme Court of Van Diemen’s Land was established and 1836 when Lieutenant-Governor George Arthur left office, public opinion as reflected in the newspapers typically wrote in unflattering terms about lawyers. They were often called ‘the sharp practicing gentry’, sharks who, often in league with the reviled banks, fed on the distress of struggling colonists. Their fees added to the high cost of living and led many colonists to bankruptcy and destitution. While many colonists felt the pinch of a vulnerable economy, lawyers prospered and many accumulated substantial fortunes not least by lending money at high interest rates. But was this negative image the only way lawyers were portrayed in the press? Did lawyers have no redeeming features in this volatile penal colony, where abuse was a popular hobby? What attempts were made to limit the fees charged by lawyers or did any lower their fees voluntarily? To answer these and other questions this paper will analyse the evidence that has survived about how lawyers were perceived, mainly in the newspapers but also in private letters and literary works.

Stefan Petrow teaches Australian, British and European history in the School of History and Classics at the University of Tasmania. His research interests include the legal history of Tasmania.

ALL WELCOME!

When: Thursday 11 April, 2013, 5.30pm
Where: Junior Medical Officer’s Conference Room, Port Arthur Historic Site

5. DOCOMOMO Australia / Australia ICOMOS – Sydney Talk Series

Robb College
Presented by Michael Dysart


Robb College, one of the University of New England’s most distinguished modern buildings, was designed by the noted Sydney architect Michael Dysart. The building is listing by the Australian Institute of Architects and the National Trust, and plans are currently being formulated to redevelop the college.

Robb College is of state heritage significance for its particular aesthetic values as a modernist complex. As one of the first modernist buildings to be constructed on a university campus outside Sydney, and was an important design that responded to its setting while observing the wider economic issues that shaped construction in NSW following the Second World War.

Built during a period of austerity, the design of Robb College made use of locally derived resources, as well as standardised and mass-produced materials, to create a considered complex of individualized buildings, each with their own particular treatment, landscaping and character.

The design of Robb College and the interplay of practical and aesthetic considerations have produced a complex of a superior quality and design that has been long admired by architects and heritage professionals alike.

Architect Michael Dysart will recount how in 1958, at the age of 24, he was given the commission and will discuss the people and the ideas that influenced his design. He will also outline his proposal to retain and refurbish Robb without the need to demolish and rebuild.

Members of the public are welcome!

Time & Date: Thursday 4 April 2013, 5.30pm for 6pm start
Cost: Members $7, non-members $12 payable at the door. Wine and nibbles will be provided. (Please note the small increase in cost)
Venue: Government Architect’s Office, Level 18, 2-24 Rawson Place, Sydney
