Convened by Heritage Partners:
Australia ICOMOS, Canberra Archaeological Society,
Canberra & District Historical Society and National Trust of Australia (ACT)

This symposium explores Canberra’s Modern/Modernist architecture and planning, widely employed in the city in the mid-20th century, of international standing and embodying the aspirations of a young nation. 

The diverse program features local and interstate perspectives, exploring Canberra’s modernist heritage from different angles: design for learning; conserving the marble facade of the National Library; a creative approach to engagement with Northbourne Ave’s at risk public housing precinct; working with planning legislation; managing Canberra’s mid-century landscapes; lessons from Sydney, Hobart and Armidale about valuing, conserving and celebrating our mid-century spaces and places. 

Take a tour of ANU’s mid-century architecture; get involved in a panel discussion on key issues; end the day with a light-hearted look at the symbiotic relationship between cocktail culture and mid-century life in the capital.

Come along to check out the amazing architecture and interiors of the R.N Robertson Building at ANU – originally designed as the Research School of Biological Sciences by Hely and Horne with Macdonald Eggleston and Secomb in 1972, the space was recently refurbished by CCJ Architects (who won an award for this project from the Australian Institute of Architects).

4. [NEW ITEM] Protecting cultural property in conflict: Critical responsibility or unnecessary, impossible, distraction? talk by Prof Peter Stone, 10 August, Canberra

Professor Peter Stone, OBE
Newcastle University, UK

Abstract

Cultural property (not only buildings and archaeological sites but archives, library and museum collections, and art) is always damaged and destroyed during conflict – it is what happens, and there is nothing that can be done about it. However, a proportion of such damage and destruction is frequently avoidable and has been regarded as bad practice by military theorists for over 2,000 years.

Date & time: Friday 10 August, 3.30-5.00pm
Venue: Sir Roland Wilson Bldg, Theatre room 2.02, Australian National University
Further information: email Guillaume Molle

More information about the talk can be found in the CAR Heritage Seminar – P Stone flyer.

7. [NEW ITEM] AGHS Sydney Branch AGM & talk, 15 August

Australian Garden History Society (AGHS) Sydney Branch AGM & talk
15 August 2018 @ 6:00-8:30 pm

Colleen Morris and Christine Hay will speak at the AGHS AGM on the Berrima, Sutton Forest and Exeter Cultural Landscape Assessment.

Colleen Morris and Christine Hay were awarded the National Trust Heritage Award in the Landscape category at the 2018 Awards ceremony in Sydney on 5 May for their Berrima, Sutton Forest and Exeter Cultural Landscape Assessment.

The Berrima Residents Association commissioned the study in 2017, which was funded equally by Battle for Berima and the Southern Highlands Foundation, to assess the heritage values of the Berrima Sutton Forest areas threatened by the Hume Coal mine plan.

The study found that the Berrima-Sutton Forest area is of such heritage significance that it deserves the utmost protection not only against threats by coal mining but for its own intrinsic worth to NSW and the nation. Cultural landscapes across NSW are under threat from mining, infrastructure and urban development. Communities are faced with radical proposals to transform the landscapes they value.

The protection of cultural landscapes has become a moral issue in the face of powerful economic arguments by powerful corporations.

Venue: Annie Wyatt Room, National Trust Centre, Observatory Hill
Cost: AGHS Members $20, Non-members $30, Students $5; includes light refreshments

8. [NEW ITEM] Master in World Heritage and Cultural Projects for Developments – applications open

The ITCILO (part of the UN system and training arm of International Labour Organisation) is launching a call for applications for the Master in World Heritage and Cultural Projects for Development, which will take place from 15 October 2018 to 14 October 2019.

The International Training Centre of the ILO (represented by the Turin School of Development), the “Università di Torino” and the “Politecnico di Torino”,  in collaboration with UNESCO and ICCROM, have pooled their resources for the design and delivery of this course.

The Master starts with distance learning (from 15/10/2018 to 19/12/2018), followed by residential learning in Turin (from 21/1/2019 to 17/5/2019), and then finalization of the students’ project documents in their home countries (from 21/5/2019 to 30/09/2019).

The Master duration is 1 year with only 4 months of face-to-face learning activities taking place in Turin, Italy. This makes the programme accessible and affordable for working practitioners and students coming from outside of Italy.

Essential requirements for admission are to hold a first university degree (minimum 3 years) and to be fluent in English.

The Master in World Heritage and Cultural Projects for Development aims to impart the necessary competencies and skills for the management of cultural resource and the design and implementation of cultural projects at the local and regional scale.

11. [NEW ITEM] Underground Architecture Revisited, 20-23 February 2019, Berlin – call for papers

Underground Architecture Revisited
International conference
20-23 February 2019
Berlinische Galerie, Berlin

Architecture of modernity below ground.

The international conference Underground Architecture Revisited will focus on the architectural design of underground stations of the second half of the 20th century in Europe. Transportation architecture very much characterises the appearance of our cities and also functions as a place of identification for its users. Due to modernisation pressures in the large cities, infrastructures of post-war modernity are threatened by disfiguring alterations and loss.

Deadline for submission of proposals: 15 August 2018.

12. [NEW ITEM] Burra Charter at World Anthropology Congress, Brazil, July 2018

The Burra Charter was central in a plenary session held on 15 July at the International Anthropology and Ethnology Conference, 16-20 July, in Florianópolis, Brazil. The plenary’s topic was The Politics of Value in Contemporary Cultural Heritage Practice, and held by the Interamerican and Caribbean Cultural Heritage Forum with ICICH (the ICOMOS International Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage). Two speakers, Marilyn Truscott, (Secretary General, ICICH, Australia ICOMOS) and Lenoardo Castrioto (President, ICOMOS Brazil; Vice President, ICOMOS Board) gave papers, both with a focus on the Burra Charter process, and ’social value’. 

Marilyn spoke on the increasing recognition of ’social value’ in heritage management decisions over recent decades, flagging processes, including the recent Australia ICOMOS Intangible Cultural Heritage and Place Practice Note, developed by the National Scientific Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage. She presented two case studies: the conflicting heritage values in the Australian Alps, with the Mountain Cattlemen wishing to ride in the national parks, and the recent conflicting decisions about brumbies by the Victorian and NSW governments; and the Anangu decision to close the climb of Uluru

Leonardo described the application of the Burra Charter in the aftermath of the massive Bento Rodrigues mining tails dam disaster in 2015, causing a major humanitarian and environmental disaster along 620km along the river to the Atlantic. The nearby village of Bento Rodrigues was destroyed with many deaths. Burra Charter processes for both the development of a commemoration site and a rebuilding of the village is taking place, with input by the still scattered villagers almost 3 years later. This is taking place after an initial plan for the village has been rejected, as it does not meet the community’s traditional lifestyle and associative values with place.

Co-chaired by Antonio Arantes (Vice President, ICICH) and Cristina Amezcua, the presentations were followed by summaries of emerging best practice and issues by discussants Elizabeth Chilten (Binghamton University, USA, formerly Centre for Heritage and Society, University of Massachusets) and Lourdes Arizpe (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México), with a QandA session from the floor.

13. [NEW ITEM] Draft State Planning Policies released for consultation (SA)

The draft State Planning Policies, which represent the highest level of policy in our new planning system, have now been released for consultation. The policies will be out for consultation for eight weeks and all interested parties are invited to submit their comments via the SA Planning Portal or YourSAy website by Friday 7 September 2018.

A Summary of the Draft State Planning Policies for South Australia (PDF) is also available.

The draft State Planning Policies set out for the first time a state-wide vision for land use planning in South Australia that aims to improve the liveability, sustainability and prosperity of our state.

Sixteen policies are laid out that address the economic, environmental and social planning priorities for South Australia.

These policies consider changes to how and where South Australians live and work, as well as important issues such as housing supply and diversity; design quality; the adaptive re-use of buildings; climate change; and strategic transport infrastructure.

By bringing South Australia’s planning interests together in a single, over-arching vision, the State Planning Policies will generate greater clarity and efficiency in our planning system and give us the direction we need to respond to modern opportunities and challenges.

Your input will ensure that the State Planning Policies reflect the aspirations of the planning and development community as well as everyday South Australians.

In keeping with the Community Engagement Charter, a detailed communications and engagement plan has been written to support the release of these policies and a number of engagement activities are in progress. You can stay abreast of these through the Planning Ahead newsletter and the list of consultation events on the SA Planning Portal.

(World) Heritage sites as ambassadors for peace, talk by Prof Peter Stone, Uni of Tas, 7 August

Professor Peter Stone, OBE
Newcastle University, UK
Tuesday, 7 August 2018, 6pm
Centenary Lecture Theatre, Centenary Building, University of Tasmania

All are welcome

Abstract

It frequently said that UNESCO’s most successful Convention is the 1972 ‘Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage’. The Convention was 192 States Parties (more than any other cultural convention) and there are now 1,052 World Heritage sites spread across the world. However, very few of these acknowledge the link to UNESCO (most only show the World Heritage emblem with no explanation of its meaning) and fewer (any?) emphasise the importance of peace to UNESCO’s activities. Simply put, the interpretation at a World Heritage site dating from the Roman period is all about the Romans; and for Han Dynasty site is all about the Han Dynasty etc.

In the late 1990’s the World Heritage in Young Hands project incorporated peace as one of its main strands. Little has been done about since. There is a massive opportunity to mobilise these 1,052 sites as ‘ambassadors for peace’. Why is no-one talking about this…?

More information about the talk can be found in the Peter Stone talk flyer_Hobart.

Fuelling the Fire: Tour of Joadaja, 25 October, NSW

Fuelling the Fire: Tour of Joadaja
Presented by the Australian Garden History Society, Southern Highlands Branch
Thursday 25 October 2018

Australian Garden History Society Southern Highlands Branch are pleased to present a symposium to be held in an evocative state-heritage area, Joadja Creek valley, 30kms west of Mittagong, the location of an abandoned nineteenth-century kerosene and shale oil mining town. The site is recognised for its heritage significance:

‘The isolation and beauty of Joadja valley, the comprehensiveness of its physical testimony to a great Australian industry, a vigorous Scottish community and a vanished technology make Joadja an extremely important element in the heritage not just of Wingecarribee Shire but of Australia and the world.’ – State Heritage Register Statement of Significance.

After a Welcome to Country by Gundungurra Elder, Trish Levett, a barbeque lunch will be provided on arrival in the valley. Owner Valero Jiminez and historian, Leonie Knapman, will take you on a tour of the valley including the ruins, the retorts, ‘Carrington Row’ and former orchards. Discussion will continue in the distillery café, led by Professor Emeritus Helen Armstrong AM. The particular focus will be on time and conflicting narratives of ‘gardening’ in the broader landscape. Dr Charles Massey OAM, author of ‘Call of the Reed Warbler’, will bring his deep knowledge of regenerative attitudes to land.

Unsettling Heritage symposium, 27 September, Melbourne – call for papers deadline: 30 August

Unsettling Heritage
Friday 27 September 2018 | A one-day symposium presented by the Emerging Heritage Professionals (Vic)

The word ‘heritage’ often conjures up images of static and unchanging buildings, gardens and cultural landscapes. Yet this belies the fact that the field of heritage is very much in flux, a site of conflict and contestation across communities, generations and socio-economic groups, encompassing both tangible and intangible significance and values.

Join the Emerging Heritage Professionals (Vic) for Unsettling Heritage, a symposium exploring the varied and shifting landscape of heritage in the 21st century.

We are currently seeking papers which critically respond to one or more of the following:

  • Difficult and uncomfortable stories and historic narratives
  • Whose Heritage? Identity, gentrification and multiculturalism
  • Social Justice – Reconciliation, self-determination and decolonising places and approaches
  • Challenges in responding to climate change and sustainable practice
  • Subverting heritage ‘silos’ and embracing interdisciplinary theory, practice and approach
  • Digital technologies, social media, virtual reality and new opportunities to understand and communicate the past

We welcome submissions from postgraduate candidates in both coursework and research programs, and early career professionals and practitioners working in or alongside the heritage field. Please submit a 100 word abstract (6-minute presentation) or a 250 word abstract (15-minute presentation) to the Unsettling Heritage organising committee by email by Thursday 30 August 2018. Participants will be notified of their acceptance by Thursday 6 September.

Want to know more? Any questions? Visit the symposium website or send an email to the Unsettling Heritage organising committee by email.

Registration will open next week (Thursday 26 July).

Symposium on Asia-Pacific Informal Urbanism, Sydney, 25 September – registration open

Symposium on Asia-Pacific Informal Urbanism
University of Sydney
Tuesday 25 September
10am – 5pm

The University of Sydney School of Architecture, Design and Planning Urbanism Group will be holding a Symposium on Asia-Pacific Informal Urbanism.

We live in an increasingly urban world of which some one third of inhabitants live in an informal settlement and or slum. Informality cuts across all aspects of the lives of those living in such settlements as well as other parts of the city. This includes: informal architecture and shelter, shared public and private spaces, creative governance arrangements, street-based livelihoods, and sustainable small-scale transport systems. Disasters such as floods and famines, as well as refugee crises, are increasingly driving the breadth and depth of expressions of informality. The reality is the city is increasingly complex and diverse, being constructed and shaped through both formal and informal mechanisms and processes.
