1. [NEW ITEM] Vale Emeritus Professor David Yencken

Dear Members & Heritage Colleagues,

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of Emeritus Professor David Yencken AO, the founding Chair of Australia ICOMOS.  

An extraordinary man, Prof. Yencken was a powerful and visionary force in the fields of conservation, design, land and property governance and management, dedicated to preserving the best of the Australian environment, from the natural world to the culture of Australia’s Indigenous peoples and that of its diverse later arrivals.

I recently wrote to Prof. Yencken on behalf of the whole Australia ICOMOS family to congratulate him on the publication of his latest book, Valuing Australia’s National Heritage, and to offer our heartfelt thanks and great appreciation for his immense contribution to Australia’s heritage over many years.

His important role in the Hope Committee of Inquiry into the National Estate placed him at the birth of the modern phase of heritage conservation in Australia. Through his personal and persistent intervention, and ability to connect with the highest levels of government in a very persuasive way, this led to the establishment of the Australian Heritage Commission and ensured its early success and survival in often difficult circumstances. 

Prof. Yencken drove strong community engagement and education initiatives in the Commission’s work, and asserted their being as just as important as its legislative and funding roles. In a similar vein was the strong push to set high professional standards in conservation and heritage management which, with his crucial encouragement, led to the establishment of Australia ICOMOS. Prof. Yencken nurtured the organisation through its early years as Chair of Australia ICOMOS in 1976-78.

But Prof. Yencken’s ambitions were even broader, and he encouraged strong citizen-based bodies to take up roles in environmental conservation and education, which led to the establishment of groups in the fields of engineering and geological conservation, in garden history and industrial archaeology, all of which continue. He saw how important links to international efforts were, and played a role in Australia’s signing up to the World Heritage Convention – the very active part that Australians have played in developing the World Heritage system since then is partly attributable to this impressive legacy.

This short text cannot do justice to Prof. Yencken’s deep and broad contribution to conservation. But it will be forever remembered and appreciated. While the challenges seem as great as ever, none the less, Australia and Australians are the better for what he was able to achieve.

There will be a celebration of David’s life at 5.00pm on Thursday 3 October in the Architecture Faculty at Melbourne University. Australia ICOMOS members and colleagues are welcome to attend this event.

Australia ICOMOS offers its deepest condolences to David’s family, friends and colleagues.

Ian Travers
President, Australia ICOMOS

3. [NEW ITEM] Membership of the Australia ICOMOS World Heritage Reference Group – call for EOI: deadline COB Friday 25 October

The current membership of the Australia ICOMOS World Heritage Reference Group (WHRG) has been in place for a number of years, and in accordance with the broader strategy of the Executive Committee for Australia ICOMOS Working Groups and Reference Groups, it is time to refresh the membership. Reference Groups are ongoing, but Australia ICOMOS policy is that membership will be refreshed at least every three years through a call for expressions of interest from Australia ICOMOS members. The WHRG provides advice to Australia ICOMOS on World Heritage issues when required. Currently there are no formal Terms of Reference for the WHRG, so one of the first tasks of the new reference group will be to draft these. 

There will be a spill of all current positions, except for that of the nominated EC representative (currently Australia ICOMOS President Ian Travers). Members of the WHRG will be selected based on demonstrated expertise and experience, although expressions of interest are invited from those who have a particular interest in World Heritage but may not have had extensive experience in the area. Current WHRG members are able to nominate to renew their membership. The final selection will be determined by the EC on the basis of a recommendation from a subcommittee. 

More information can be found on the World Heritage Reference Group webpage and in the EOI document (link below). Please note that all individuals who express an interest in any Australia ICOMOS Working or Reference Group agree to be bound by the documents that can be found here.

Members of Australia ICOMOS are invited to express an interest in becoming a member of this Reference Group by sending a completed WHRG_EOI_September 2019_FINAL form to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by COB 25 October 2019.

For further information please contact the WHRG EC representative Ian Travers by email or phone 0420 514 508.

4. [NEW ITEM] Proposed Formation of an NSC on Twentieth Century Heritage – Meeting Canberra, 16 November 2019

A number of ICOMOS members have suggested that it could be timely to develop a National Scientific Committee (NSC) on Twentieth Century Cultural Heritage. This would be consistent with the Eger-Xi’an Principles, which encourage the formation of such committees and they are supported by Australia ICOMOS. Indeed, several Australia ICOMOS NSCs have been formed.

A meeting will be held during the Heritage of the Air Conference in Canberra on Saturday 16 November to discuss this proposal.

The Heritage of the Air is a very Twentieth Century topic!

NSCs are intended as forums for Australian ICOMOS members to debate cultural heritage issues, promote professional development and share knowledge. They are intended to complement and engage with the work of International Scientific Committees. ICOMOS India has a very active Twentieth Century Cultural Heritage NSC and several other national scientific committees are in development. In Sydney, ICOMOS members have been running monthly talks with Docomomo for some years now, and there is clearly a lot of interest in modern heritage conservation!

Read more about the work of the international ISC20C.

Please spread the word to interested colleagues, and please let me know if you’d like to be involved in developing this idea, and also if you can join the discussion on 16 November. Written inputs and ideas very welcome, via the email link below.

Secretary General, ICOMOS ISC20C

5. [NEW ITEM] Lost or found? Intangible cultural heritage workshop, 14 November, Canberra

Lost or found? Intangible cultural heritage workshop
Thursday 14 November, 1pm-3.50pm, University House (ANU), Canberra

As part of the Heritage of the Air conference, this workshop will consider whether intangible cultural heritage is now part of ‘place-based heritage practice’ or is it still lost in the wilderness?

Join members of the Australia ICOMOS National Scientific Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage (NSC-ICH) to unearth the intangible cultural heritage of place through selected case studies. Discuss what tools, techniques and guidance are needed by heritage professionals today, and contribute to a review of the Practice Note – Intangible Cultural Heritage and Place.

The NSC-ICH invites expressions of interest for short case study presentations at the workshop focusing on approaches to identifying/documenting intangible cultural heritage in relation to place. Please submit your EOI (with your name, institution, contact email and phone, and a brief description of the case study) preferably no later than 7 October by email to the NSC-ICH.

The workshop is free if booked as part of your conference registration or $50 if you are not attending the conference. Book via the conference website. Workshop places are limited

Following the Lost or found? Intangible Cultural Heritage workshop, we will be holding a brief Annual Meeting for the NSC. We hope you can join us.

8. [NEW ITEM] Living Heritage Program – Successful Projects in Round 4 (2019-20) announced

The VIC Minister for Planning recently announced 27 successful conservation projects in Round 4 (2019-20) of the Living Heritage Program. A collection of fragile objects from the Tatura POW and Internment Camp, a Gold Rush-era prefabricated iron hut and the historic homestead ‘Yurunga’ in Rainbow are among the significant heritage places funded. To date, the program has funded 120 conservation projects across the State since its inception in 2016.

The Living Heritage Program funds urgent conservation works to publicly accessible places and objects included in the Victorian Heritage Register. The 2019-20 Round of the program was highly competitive and applications were of a very high standard, as it was anticipated to be the final round of the program. However, the program was given a boost in the 2019-20 State Budget, which will bring the program into 2022-23. There will be a further three rounds of the program, and the next round is anticipated to open in early 2020. Keep an eye on our website (link below) for updates on the next round.

You can read more about the program as well as access the full list of successful Round 4 projects on the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning website.

Australia ICOMOS / DOCOMOMO Sydney Talk Series, 1 October

Policy, Power & the Cultural and Heritage Values of the Powerhouse Museum
presented by Kylie Winkworth & Jennifer Sanders, Powerhouse Museum Alliance

In November 2014 the NSW Government announced that the Powerhouse Museum would be ‘moving’ to Parramatta. The Powerhouse Museum has been based in Ultimo since 1893. What has followed in the last five years is the most sustained protest campaign in the history of Australian museums. The debate has clearly demonstrated the social, cultural and heritage values of the Powerhouse Museum in its context at Ultimo. This talk explores some of the major heritage and policy issues surrounding the government’s move to relocate the Powerhouse Museum to Parramatta.

Kylie Winkworth is a museum and heritage consultant, with a particular interest in collections, movable heritage and the connections between people, places and objects. Her publications include Significance, a guide to assessing the significance of cultural heritage objects and collections, with Roslyn Russell. She is a former trustee of the Powerhouse Museum.

Jennifer Sanders had a distinguished career at the Powerhouse Museum. As a senior curator she was a key member of the redevelopment team, and from 1988 a member of the museum executive. From 2001 to 2009 she was Deputy Director, Collections and Outreach. Jennifer was a member of the National Cultural Heritage Committee 1999 – 2008. She is now a heritage and museum consultant.

Time & Date: Tuesday 1 October 2019, 5.30pm for 6pm start

Cost: Students $10, Members $15, Non-members $20 – book via eventbrite

Venue: The Big Dig Archaeology Education Centre, 110 Cumberland Street, The Rocks, Sydney

RSVP: by Friday 27 September 2019. Bookings are essential as places are limited

Membership of the Australia ICOMOS Pacific Heritage Reference Group – call for EOI: deadline COB Friday 27 September 2019

The current membership of the Australia ICOMOS Pacific Heritage Reference Group (PHRG) has been in place for more than 3 years and it is time to refresh the membership.

The members of the PHRG each have high-level qualifications and/or experience in the cultural heritage of the Pacific region. The purpose of the group is to provide advice as needed to the Australia ICOMOS President and Executive Committee on any issues that arise. Issues may relate to specific sites as in the case of World Heritage Monitoring Missions, capacity building in relation to cultural heritage conservation in the region, or ‘framework’ issues as in the case of preparing submissions on legislation reform. This reference group does not hold regular meetings but is called into action as issues arise.

More information can be found at the Pacific Heritage Reference Group webpage. Please note that all individuals who express an interest in any Australia ICOMOS Working or Reference Group agree to be bound by the documents that can be found here.

Members of Australia ICOMOS are invited to express an interest in becoming a member of this Reference Group by sending a completed PHRG_EOI_August 2019_FINAL form to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by COB 27 September 2019.

Young and Emerging Professionals with knowledge about Pacific issues, especially those who attended the 2018 CULTURE Conference in Fiji, and members from diverse range of backgrounds are encouraged to express an interest in contributing to the group in accordance with Australia ICOMOS policies.

Membership of the Australia ICOMOS Climate Change and Cultural Heritage Working Group – call for EOI: deadline COB Friday 27 September

The current membership of the Australia ICOMOS Climate Change and Cultural Heritage Working Group (CC&CHWG) has been in place for some time and it is now due for a refresh. As Australia ICOMOS foresaw in 2007 when it held a major public forum on Climate Change and Cultural Heritage, as a side event of the eXtreme heritage Conference in Cairns, climate change and the impacts on the world’s tangible and intangible cultural heritage has emerged as a serious challenge facing the long-term conservation of our heritage. The international body of ICOMOS has responded to this with the formation of a Climate Change Working Group (currently led by Andrew Potts of US/ICOMOS). Australia ICOMOS would like to refresh our national CC&CHWG with a focus on climate change, its impact and mitigation, in relation to cultural heritage in Australia and within our Asia Pacific region. More information can be found at the Climate Change and Cultural Heritage Working Group webpage.

One of the first tasks of the newly refreshed CC&CHWG will be the development of a new Terms of Reference (currently in draft format) that reflect this focus and which also look at the way in which this working group can effectively liaise with and input into the work of the international working group. It is expected that in this way the working group members can bring the relevant work of Australia ICOMOS members to national and international attention and work to disseminate emerging knowledge, studies and practices in this field to our members.

This is a Working Group and requires active participation and a desire and commitment to develop and promote the relevant skills, research and projects of our members to support sustainable cultural heritage practice in the face of the risks and challenges arising from climate change. For this reason, although prior experience in climate change research and/or projects is highly desirable, it in not an essential requirement for membership of this group. Young & Emerging Professionals who are willing to play an active role in advancing the work of the Working Group are encouraged to express an interest.

Please note that all individuals who express an interest in any Australia ICOMOS Working or Reference Group agree to be bound by the documents that can be found here.

Members of Australia ICOMOS are invited to express an interest in becoming members of the Climate Change and Cultural Heritage Working Group (CC&CHWG) by sending the completed CC&CHWG_EOI_August 2019_FINAL form to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by COB 27 September 2019.

For further information please contact Flavia Kiperman (Australia ICOMOS Executive Committee Member) by email or by phone: (+61) 0401 003 800.

VICOMITES short talk series, Friday 11 October, Melbourne

VICOMITES short talk series – Friday 11 October 2019
Budj Bim, the World Heritage-listed cultural landscape

Australia ICOMOS members, and prospective members, are invited to a presentation by Damein Bell, a Gunditjmara man and CEO of Gunditj Mirring Traditional Owners Aboriginal Corporation. Damein will reflect on the journey that led to the inscription of the Budj Bim Cultural Landscape on the World Heritage List (6 July 2019).

The cultural landscape consists of three serial components, and constitutes one of the world’s most extensive and oldest aquaculture systems. The Budj Bim lava flows provide the basis for the complex system of channels, weirs and dams developed by the Gunditjmara in order to trap, store and harvest kooyang (short-finned eel – Anguilla australis). The system provided an economic and social base for Gunditjmara society for six millennia.

Refreshments will be provided.

Location: The Kathleen Syme Library and Community Centre, 251 Faraday Street, Carlton

Time: 6:00pm, Friday 11 October – NOTE DATE & TIME CHANGE

Making Sydney – taking the long perspective, presentation by Professor Philip Thalis, 27 September, Sydney

The Twentieth Century Heritage Society of NSW & ACT invites you to:

Making Sydney – taking the long perspective
A presentation by Professor Philip Thalis

Sydney today is in a period of dramatic change – perhaps unmatched in its short history.

Aldo Rossi, the Italian author and architect noted that:

Of course, there are certain epochs or periods of time in which a city is transformed especially quickly … when the changes are impulsive and apparently unexpected… Certain catastrophic phenomena such as wars or expropriations can overturn seemingly stable urban situations very rapidly… In all cases many forces come into play and are applied to the city, and these forces may be of an economic, political or some other nature…

What’s needed in Sydney today is a reorientation of our city, making activities towards embodying the public interest, ingraining durable qualities, promoting genuine sustainability, adopting long-term thinking.

We need to champion good design at the heart of all projects and ‘planning’.

About Philip Thalis

Philip is founding principal of Hill Thalis Architecture + Urban Projects, a practice recognised for its design excellence and independence. He has 30 years’ experience in the design of public space, urban design, multiple housing, infrastructure and heritage adaptation.

History Council of Victoria’s 2019 Annual Lecture, Melbourne, 2 October

LIVING ON MALLEE COUNTRY – DEEP TIME TO 1900

The History Council of Victoria’s 2019 Annual Lecture will be presented by Emeritus Professor Richard Broome, FAHA, FRHSV, of La Trobe University.

Mallee country, being semi-arid scrub country, has made living upon it difficult for humans but not other living things. This lecture will explore how mallee country was used by Aboriginal people from Deep Time to the pastoral era and how Europeans found, settled and often abandoned it as marginal sheep country. Living on mallee country revealed how Nature and Culture each shaped the other.

The lecture will be presented on Wednesday 2 October 2019 at 6.30 pm at State Library Victoria.

Before and after the lecture, Monash University Publishing will be selling copies of Mallee Country: Land, People, History (2019), co-authored by Richard Broome, Charles Fahey, Andrea Gaynor and Katie Holmes.

Please visit the History Council of Victoria website to learn more and to book your ticket ($15, or $10 for Friends of the HCV).

The Trust Talks – The City: More than just an architectural backdrop, Brisbane, 2 October

The Trust Talks – The City: More than just an architectural backdrop

“There is no logic that can be superimposed on the city; people make it, and it is to them, not buildings, that we must fit our plans.” ― Jane Jacobs

In the age of place makers and city shapers, our speakers move to explore the city beyond its mere fabric and look at Brisbane with a different lens to examine: what forms the heart of a place?

Our speakers will focus on how people and their attachments to the past build connections to places and create a vibrancy that our cities are craving.

Beyond the conventional approach of the city as architectural backdrop, how do non-material aspects of places and their intangible values influence the way we interact with the built environment? How can we recognise the importance of the intangible values of places? And more importantly, how can we protect, conserve and celebrate them in our rapidly changing cities?

The Trust Talks are a series of speaker events that provide up to date, relevant information, discussions and debate about heritage and its place in Australia.

The Trust Talks aim to open the doors for innovation, collaboration and celebration of our heritage. Each talk showcases some of the industry’s brightest talents, who join us in exciting heritage locations to examine the issues involved with protecting, conserving and celebrating our built, natural and cultural heritage.

THE NIGHT

5pm: Drinks & Canapes
6pm: Talks commence
7.30pm: Evening close

The event is proudly hosted and sponsored by 2018 National Trust Heritage Awards winner West Village, at West Village’s Bromley Room and carried out as part of Brisbane Open House Speaker Series.

AICCM 2019 National Conference – Sponsorship Opportunities

The Australian Institute for the Conservation of Cultural Material (AICCM) is the professional organisation for conservators of cultural heritage in Australia. Our membership consists of industry professionals, conservation students and related cultural heritage organisations.

The AICCM National Conference is a biennial event, which brings together over 150 professionals from conservation, preservation and allied fields. The goal of this conference is to provide a platform to present academic papers and discussions on a wide range of issues in conservation practice, from the highly practical and scientific, to the more conceptual and philosophical. This conference also offers a significant opportunity to create networks, foster learning and introduce new techniques and developing areas of interest.

At the AICCM National Conference 2019, which will be held at the Arts Centre Melbourne from 13-15 November 2019, we invite you to consider how we make our profession. Broadly divided into three themes – making conservation sustainable, innovative and connected – we want to discuss what excites you and what challenges you. How are we making conservation now and how can the way we make conservation shape the future?

In order to ensure that the conference remains accessible to all, however, we are seeking corporate sponsorship from relevant organisations. Sponsorship opportunities are varied, but all will provide invaluable access to conference attendees.

We have prepared a prospectus of sponsorship opportunities for the AICCM National Conference 2019. Please contact Elizabeth McCartney (details below) if you would like a copy of the prospectus. If you have specific requirements or desired outcomes linked to your sponsorship, we are happy to provide flexibility and can tailor a package to suit your needs.

For further information about the conference and to see a draft program, please see the AICCM website. The conference will feature three days of presentations, panel discussions, posters and a trade fair. There will be welcome drinks on the Wednesday evening and an optional dinner at the delicious Charcoal Lane on Thursday. Day registration is available and early bird registration closes on 30 September.

7th International Architectural Finishes Research Conference, 14-16 October 2020, Israel – call for papers deadline: 1 October 2019

7th International Architectural Finishes Research Conference
Hosted By the David Azrieli School of Architecture
The David and Yolanda Katz Faculty of the Arts
Tel Aviv University, Israel
14-16 October 2020

Papers are invited for the 7th International Architectural Finishes Research Conference, to be held in Israel on 14-16 October 2020. The conference is held once every three years and attracts the field’s leading researchers and professionals.

Architectural finishes and color in the built environment give a place its vernacular uniqueness. Finishes connect the material/substance of a place and the life pulsing within it. Throughout history it has served as a tool for establishing local identity.

Architectural Finishes Research goes far beyond uncovering the color of paint layers, to providing historical information on daily and cultural life.

Previous conferences have defined research into these finishes as Architectural Paint Research (APR). We believe it is time to expand the definition of our research to include all architectural finishes. For this conference we will be addressing it as Architectural Finishes Research (AFR).

For more information, visit the call for papers webpage.

Submissions are due by 1 October 2019.

‘Restoration Australia’ seeks restoration projects for upcoming shows

ABC’s new season of Restoration Australia is seeking restoration projects. Key details as follows:

  • They are looking for residential homes with historic or heritage elements that will be restored to their former glory to feature on Restoration Australia in 2021. The entire building doesn’t need to be a 100% restoration project but there does need to be a significant historic element or elements of restoration involved
  • They are looking for projects that will be starting ASAP or by the end of the year/early next year to be completed by Feb 2021 or Sept 2021 (that gives them 18 months to 2 years to complete)
  • They’d like passionate homeowners who are willing to share their restoration project with us and are happy to be filmed at several stages during their renovation/restoration. Over the course of the next 18 months they plan to follow the restoration journey of several homeowners, offering advice and delving into the past to discover and connect with the building’s history.
  • The show is not a competition; it is simply a celebration of these wonderful properties and the stories behind them. The size and budget of the project doesn’t matter but passion and history does. This is a great opportunity to showcase the work of everyone involved in the restoration process (builders, architects, designers)
