Conflicts can have profound impacts on human values, cultures and religions. Increasingly, conflicts target symbols of culture to destroy identities and lead to the destruction of cultural heritage. This Academy Discourse affords a new perspective on the social, historical, political, economic, cultural and religious contexts in which the ongoing human suffering is taking place in the Middle East, particularly in Syria and Iraq but also in North Africa and parts of Asia. Dr Bouchenaki will also address how the international community ought to continue to find mechanisms to improve responses to these emergencies.

11. [NEW ITEM] REMINDER: DESIGN Canberra festival events, 9-29 November 2020

The Festival

Design is in Canberra’s DNA.

Canberra is one of the few designed national capital cities in the world and the local Ngunnawal People’s culture of invention has been in motion for more than 75,000 years. Walter and Marion Griffin’s visionary design a century ago, iconic experimental modernist architecture of the 1950s and 60s, and contemporary and sustainable design developments today, are some of the many ways that Canberra has been – and will always be – a living design laboratory.

From 9-29 November, DESIGN Canberra will experiment with new ideas and expand the most successful programs into new directions in the 2020 festival. Over 150 events, exhibitions, talks, tours, activations, markets, collaborations, artist studios and open homes will once again transform the nation’s capital into a new platform for the best in design. The festival, now in its 7th year, is for all interests and ages and most events are free.

Events planned to date

Paolo Stracchi talk: Designed in Italy, Made in Australia

Tuesday 10 November, 3.30-5.30pm
Building 6, Room C12, University of Canberra, Kirinari Street, Bruce ACT, Australia

Free, bookings essential, via this link (including more information) 

Harry Seidler (1923–2006) and Pier Luigi Nervi (1891–1978) first met in Paris in 1955 on the construction site of the UNESCO Headquarters, designed by their common friend Marcel Breuer. Seven years later, the two met again, this time in Rome, to study the design for the iconic Australia Square Tower. The success of the iconic Sydney Tower set off a 15 year collaboration that took place between Italy and Australia. From 1963 to 1978, Seidler engaged Nervi for the design of some of his Australian commissions: Australia Square, the MLC Centre, the Theatre Royal lobby, the CTA Business Club and, in Canberra, the TGO Edmund Barton Building.

After the talk, join us for a small reception with refreshments and then an architecture stroll of Seidler’s TGO building at 6pm.

 

Seidler + Nervi: Walking tour (exterior) of the Edmund Barton Building

Tuesday 10 November, 6-7pm
$35, tickets via this link (including more information)
Meet at the corner of Kings Ave and Blackall St, Barton ACT 2600 (Edmund Barton Building)

Discover the unexpected Italian affinities of Harry Seidler’s TGO (Edmund Barton Building 1970-74) with Paolo Stracchi, architectural technology lecturer, University of Sydney, and curator of ‘Designed in Italy, Made in Australia: the Australian work of Pier Luigi Nervi’.

This small group tour will explore the exterior of the building, from publicly-accessible vantage points.

Seidler’s TGO is a valuable resource to help understand Canberra’s architectural and cultural history.

This is a small group architecture tour of the exterior of the Edmund Barton Building, which has been developed by DESIGN Canberra, in line with current COVID-safe restrictions. Numbers are limited and bookings are essential.

Paolo Stracchi will also present a talk about the Seidler-Nervi collaboration prior to the tour, at the University of Canberra.

 

Designed in Italy, Made in Australia: the Australian work of Pier Luigi Nervi

9-29 November, Monday-Friday, 10.30am-4.30pm
Mura Gadi Gallery, University of Canberra Library, Building 8, Bruce ACT, Australia

Through a series of original work and new documentation, the exhibition will, for the first time, showcase the comprehensive work developed during the 60s and 70s by the world-famous Italian engineer and his office in Rome for Harry Seidler.

Pier Luigi Nervi (1891–1979) was a structural engineer but also a revolutionary Italian master builder, architect and artist, who forged, through the invention of the Sistema Nervi – Nervi System – a new structural aesthetic for modern architecture. His pioneering system was adopted all around the world to build some of his most famous buildings: the Rome Olympic Palasports, the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption in San Francisco, the Field House at Dartmouth College in the USA, and many others.

In Australia, the Sistema Nervi was for the first time adopted with the construction of the Australia Square Tower, designed by Harry Seidler. The success of the famous circular tower led to a fruitful collaboration that lasted for more than 15 years.

The exhibition will shed light on unexpected affinities between the Italian and Australian construction industries, Roman and Milanese precedents used in modern Sydney, and an unlikely connection between an Italian factory and a revered Australian skyscraper. This exhibition will pay tribute to the two men and their shared Australian legacy, casting light on its unexpected Italian affinities and celebrating it into the future.

Curated by Paolo Stracchi (architectural technology lecturer, University of Sydney).

“Heritage Now” Series – next session 30 October

Whose heritage gets to be recognized and protected? How do heritage sites affect their surrounding environment and communities? Social justice, climate change, and sustainable tourism are only some of the considerations World Monuments Fund (WMF) integrates into our work. Cultural heritage exists in the present as much as it does in the past, and can play a fundamental role in our future.

WMF is therefore excited to be launching Heritage Now, a series of live events exploring cultural heritage at the nexus of current political, social, and environmental issues. The second session is on Friday 30 October, a discussion of monuments with difficult pasts from an international perspective, inspired by the ongoing American Confederate monument debate.

Hardly any other signatory state to the UNESCO World Heritage Convention has such a high proportion of multinational or transnational World Heritage sites as the Federal Republic of Germany. In particular, among the Cultural Heritage sites of the Federal Republic of Germany inscribed on the UNESCO list over the past decade, there are a number of archaeological World Heritage sites that have re-accentuated the Federal Republic’s World Heritage profile. These are for instance the Frontiers of the Roman Empire (Limes) (2005), the Prehistoric Pile Dwellings around the Alps (2011), the Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura (2017), or the Archaeological Border Complex of Hedeby and Danevirke (2018).

Sustainable Heritage Management Foundation Course, November 2020 to April 2021 – applications close 26 October

UNESCO has launched the inaugural Sustainable Heritage Management Foundation Course for heritage practitioners in the Asia-Pacific region to upskill and reskill core competences

Pressures on cities such as the current pandemic, climate change, economic slowdown, and conflicts mean that approaches to heritage management need to be reinvented. Beyond conservation-related objectives, heritage managers must also mobilize heritage for local development, as defined by the Sustainable Development Goals.

Conducted by UNESCO Bangkok in cooperation with the Think City Institute and the Asian Academy for Heritage Management, this course will upskill and reskill professionals working in heritage management, with a focus on South-East Asia, to meet these new demands.

The Course offers a combination of self-paced online learning and interactive webinars, followed by a capstone project and finale event.

DURATION: 6 Months (November 2020 – April 2021)
APPLICATION DEADLINE: 26 October 2020
COURSE FEE: 500 USD*

*UNESCO Bangkok is offering a limited number of scholarships with priority given to World Heritage site managers from South-East Asia.

Due to a large amount of interest and a number of requests for additional time, the deadline for submissions to the national State of Environment Report (SoE) survey has been extended until midnight on Sunday 1 November.

Please note that, given the need for authors to have sufficient time to review and consider your responses, we will be unable to grant any further requests for extension.

_____________________________________________________

State of the Environment 2021 (SoE 2021) public consultation scoping papers are now available on Have Your Say for your feedback. We want your input to make this report as useful as possible.

There are twelve themes covering Air quality, Antarctica, Biodiversity, Climate, Coasts, Extreme events, Heritage, Indigenous knowledge, Inland water, Land, Marine and Urban.

Each thematic scoping paper has been drafted by independent authors including Indigenous experts integrating Indigenous knowledge and western science systems. This will ensure Indigenous views, values and knowledge are used to inform decision making for better environmental outcomes in caring for country.

Please review with our purpose in mind to: provide a strategic view to shape policy and action, engage with users to influence behaviour and assist with assessing our interventions as stewards for the Australian environment.

Scoping papers:

  • set out a proposed structure, indicative scope of the theme and linkages to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal framework
  • include an outline of key data sources and propose a number of potential case studies to illustrate emerging issues, current management initiatives and lessons learned
  • indicate the interlinkages between the themes and how these interlinkages might be managed as the authors develop their themes.

Visit this link to access these draft scoping papers, together with a short survey. The survey will close at midnight on Sunday 1 November.

Additional information

These documents are early drafts and the absence of a particular subject, topic or issue does not necessarily mean the authors will not include it as they draft their thematic content over the months ahead. Your feedback on subjects, topics or issues that you think should be included will help ensure that the reports reflect user needs; suggested case studies and policy or program responses are also requested.

ICCROM launches a community-based game on IDDRR

The International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction (IDDRR) was on 13 October. To mark this day, ICCROM launched a new resource: inSIGHT – a participatory game that offers its users the opportunity to build a common understanding of how the cultural and natural heritage of a place contributes to capacities for disaster risk reduction and sustainable development.

The game is intended for a wide range of institutions and individuals interested in developing community-centred disaster risk reduction initiatives. It involves residents of a city, town or village, from different age groups, as well as different professions and social backgrounds, who through the game can learn how to use the traditional knowledge held by a local community for reducing disaster risk.

This resource, that was part of their broader project with the Swedish postcode foundation, can be downloaded from the ICCROM website.
