1. [NEW ITEM] Australia ICOMOS contribution to ICOMOS Crowdfunding campaign

As you will have read, faced with the alternative of barring a young Syrian architect from the Delhi General Assembly, ICOMOS has made the principled decision to return the Getty Foundation travel grant for the event.

The urgent support of all ICOMOS Committees and Academy members is now requested for the crowdfunding campaign to raise the 80 000 € shortfall given the loss of the Getty Foundation grant.

The Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee has made the decision to follow other National Committees, including ICOMOS Italy, Netherlands and Sweden, in making a donation from our organisation to support the fund and in solidarity with our international colleagues and the international heritage community. We have donated the sum of 2000 €.  

I ask all those who are considering making their own donation to please do so – this is a cause that requires universal support on numerous levels and for a wide range of reasons that we can all appreciate.

With very best wishes,
Ian Travers
President, Australia ICOMOS

3. [NEW ITEM] New book: Participatory Culture and the Social Value of an Architectural Icon: Sydney Opera House

About the book

This book develops new and innovative methods for understanding the cultural significance of places such as the World Heritage listed Sydney Opera House. By connecting participatory media, visual culture and social value, Cristina Garduño Freeman contributes to a fast-growing body of scholarship on digital heritage and the popular reception of architecture.

In this, her first book, she opens up a fresh perspective on heritage, as well as the ways in which people relate to architecture via participation on social media. Social media sites such as YouTube, Pinterest, Wikipedia, Facebook and Flickr, as well as others, become places for people to express their connections with places, for example, the Sydney Opera House. Garduño Freeman analyses real-world examples, from souvenirs to opera-house-shaped cakes, and untangles the tangible and intangible ways in which the significance of heritage is created, disseminated and maintained.

As people’s encounters with World Heritage become increasingly mediated by the digital sphere there is a growing imperative for academics, professionals and policy-makers to understand the social value of significant places. This book is beneficial to academics, students and professionals of architecture.

8. National Trust of Australia (QLD) Trust Talks: THE DEBATE, 7 December

National Trust of Australia (QLD) Trust Talks: THE DEBATE
Thursday 7 December, 5pm for a 6pm start

The Trust Talks, our speaker series aimed at opening the doors for innovation, collaboration and celebration of our heritage, is going underground into the Springhill Reservoir in December. The evening will include the opportunity to network with friends and colleagues, drinks on arrival, cheese platters & canapes, the debate, and an exclusive Christmas performance from the Underground Opera in the Reservoir! This is an event not to be missed.

THE DEBATE

“Head in the Cloudlands: Is there too much idealism in heritage?”

In the days before adequate protection for heritage places was introduced, The National Trust of Australia (Queensland) was once known as the community group who stopped development – their arsenal was picket lines, protests and rallies. Fast forward two decades and Queensland now has statutory heritage registers, a statewide Heritage Council and requirements to ensure that the demolition of heritage such as ‘Cloudlands’ could never happen again. But does the heritage industry have its head in the Cloudlands? Are we at risk of being left off the negotiation table if we rigidly stick to stringent guidelines? In our quest for heritage protection, have we lost sight of the bigger picture and is this detrimental to our cause?

THE SPEAKERS

The Trust Talks: The Debate brings together 4 renowned experts and advocates to debate this timely topic, including:

  • Dr Meredith Walker
  • Dr Andrew Sneddon
  • Christina Cho
  • Jane Alexander

9. “Liberalism and the Built Environment – Then and Now” conference, Brisbane, 17-18 May 2018: call for papers

Liberalism and the Built Environment – Then and Now
University of Queensland, Brisbane
17-18 May 2018

Conference convenors: Janina Gosseye, Helena Mattsson, John Macarthur, Deborah van der Plaat

This conference seeks to explore how concepts of freedom and liberal political and economic theories have intersected with architecture and the built environment from the 19th century to the present day. The popular reaction against ‘neoliberalism’ understood as an economic structure has reignited academic debate as to whether architecture, bound up as it is in real estate speculation and the financing of building, has a capacity for critique. The present socio-political circumstances of architecture, however, ought to be understood in the longer and more varied history of liberalism and architecture’s imbrication with political and economic thought on freedom and the subjects of freedom. We seek contributions that might address, but need not be limited to:

  • 19th century constructions of citizenship in civic institutions
  • colonialism, anti-colonialism and cosmopolitanism in the 19th and 20th century
  • social liberalism of the early 20th century and critiques of utopianism
  • the positive freedoms sought by substantive liberals in the welfare state
  • the return of classical economic liberalism and its relation with postmodernism
  • the role of cultural policy, cultural industries and governmentality in the liberal state
  • the relation of theories of the aesthetic autonomy of art to personal freedom
  • the biopolitics of urban and architectural conditions and projects

This conference is hosted by the Architecture Criticism Theory and History (ATCH) Centre at the University of Queensland, and seeks contributions from both inside and outside the discipline of architecture. We seek papers of 20 minutes length, proposals for panel discussions, and scholars interested in active involvement as respondents and chairs.

Abstract of no more than 300 words should be submitted by email, with subject line: ‘liberalism_abstract_surname’

Submission deadline: 5 February 2018

Notification of acceptance: 5 March 2018

For more information, visit the Architecture Criticism Theory and History Centre website.

The Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand Inc (EIANZ) has recently established a Heritage Special Interest Section.

To further these aims, we are seeking to compile the first heritage special issue of the EIANZ journal, the Australasian Journal of Environmental Management (AJEM). The focus of the AJEM is on policy and practice, and we welcome submissions of abstracts on any aspect of these themes.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

* Is policy and practice in Australia and New Zealand effectively protecting heritage?
* Are our heritage practices adequate to interpret and conserve the past, to help us understand our environment, and to pass that legacy on to the future?
* Engagement of stakeholders in heritage
* Case studies of successful collaborative projects where heritage has been integrated with other environmental practice
* How would effective policy for Intangible heritage and heritage landscapes look?
* Multiple uses for heritage
* What is heritage anyway?

Submission Process

Papers will be reviewed following the AJEM double‐blind review process. Expressions of interest to publish, along with an abstract, should be submitted to the guest editors, Richard Sharp FEIANZ CEnvP (email Richard) and Vanessa Hardy MEIANZ M.ICOMOS (email Vanessa) by 20 February 2018.

Following acceptance of the EOI and abstract, full papers should be submitted by 30 August 2018 by online submission to the Australasian Journal of Environmental Management Scholar One Manuscripts. Papers should be prepared using the AJEM Guidelines. The guest editors welcome informal enquiries related to the proposed topics.

12. Character Preservation Acts Review – public consultation open

The Character Preservation (Barossa Valley) Act 2012 and the Character Preservation (McLaren Vale) Act 2012 are currently being reviewed as required by legislation.

This legislation provides that the special character of the two districts is recognised, protected and enhanced while providing for the economic, physical and social wellbeing of the communities within the districts. It restricts the creation of additional residential development in the rural areas of the districts to halt urban sprawl to the north and south of Adelaide’s built-up area, thereby seeking to provide for continued viable farming and primary production activities.

The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure has developed a discussion paper (PDF, 4267 KB) in consultation with affected councils and State Government agencies. Written submissions will be accepted until 5:00pm, Friday 8 December 2017.

For more information about this public consultation, visit the SA Planning Portal website.
