2. [NEW ITEM] NSW Heritage Act Review Forum, 9 June, Sydney

The National Trust, together with the Australian Archaeological Association, Australasian Society for Historical Archaeologists, Engineering Heritage NSW, Historic Houses Association and Australia ICOMOS, would like to invite you to their Independent Forum on the recently announced government review of the NSW Heritage Act.

75 years after the birth of the National Trust in NSW, 50 years since the first Green Ban and 44 years since heritage protection was enacted, it is once again time for the community, experts, academia and advocates to join forces and ensure that any proposed amendments to our Heritage Act do not further erode the identification, protection and conservation of our heritage places.

The Forum aims to generate cross-industry collaboration, help identify key responses and most importantly, to arm participants with information and encourage the community to prepare individual submissions and responses.

It brings together stakeholders, experts, community members and representatives from industry for an open discussion on the Review and the key issues facing NSW’s heritage, and the identification of what Review outcomes would be desirable.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead.

Wednesday 9 June, 2021, Sydney Masonic Centre, from 12pm – 4.30pm

3. [NEW ITEM] Join the New Heritage Approaches Globinar in June!

On November 16, 2020, a global call to action – the Our World Heritage (OWH) initiative – was launched to promote civil society engagement and renew the spirit of the World Heritage Convention.

Initially composed of researchers and activists from more than 50 countries, this movement is constantly expanding, including associations of local communities, non-governmental organizations, social movements, academia, artists, site managers, protection agencies and private institutions.

The initiative is currently in a process of knowledge building with monthly open thematic events, involving different voices in debates on cultural, natural and mixed heritage.

As part of the activities of the OWH initiative, there will be a global forum dedicated to the debate on New Heritage Approaches during the month of June 2021 – starting on 7 June, promoted and coordinated by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and the University of Bologna, in partnership with other universities and institutions.

Discussions will address conceptual and methodological issues about integration, connection, approaches to perception and interpretation and management processes. The majority of the roundtables will be in English. In two of them, there will be consecutive translations to English.  

For more details, visit the New Heritage Approaches theme page.

5. [NEW ITEM] 2011 UNESCO Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape, 10th Anniversary Celebration, 23-24 June

The HUL Anniversary Event (23-24 June) not only marks the start of the 2021 celebration but serves as a catalyst for greater adoptions of the HUL approach. At the same time, the event serves as a platform to share lessons learned from COVID-19 and to resume discussions on the future of urban management. Topics such as public space, renovations, tourism, infrastructure and livelihoods will be explored. The Recommendation will provide an overall framework, while local needs and resources determine the implementation form.

On 23 June, the HUL Call for Action will be launched. The Call breaks the Recommendation down into concrete “Three Actions” (see “Call for Action”), in order to promote the HUL implementation for cities. The main participants will be Mayors, partners and high-level representatives from World Heritage and non-World Heritage cities, as they have the capacity to champion and mainstream the approach in their urban planning. Following the launch, panel discussions will explore the role of the Recommendation within the post-COVID-19 urban setting. Thematic lenses such as crisis response and recovery and local-actor empowerment will closely reflect the Call.

On 24 June, the session will focus on the application of the HUL approach to the World Heritage cities. Challenges triggered by the pandemic such as the drop in tourism and restricted urban-based activities will be discussed, with HUL serving as a potential mitigation framework. The invitees will consist of site managers, national focal points, city planning departments and experts, devising in-depth, practical conversations. Case studies collected, analysed and developed during preparatory technical meetings will also be presented.

In the context of this event, the World Heritage Centre is calling for case studies on urban heritage management practices. Topics include transportation and infrastructure, public space, renovations, tourism, traditional livelihoods and circular/green economies, revolving around the idea of recovery and “building back better” with heritage cities as thriving, sustainable and resilient urban centres strongly connected to their communities. The case studies will be presented in the preparatory technical meetings, which will take place on 16 and 21 June.

6. [NEW ITEM] Heritage Council of Victoria publishes new online resource for homeowners of heritage houses

The Heritage Council of Victoria has just released an online guide and 12 case studies to assist homeowners who are renovating or creating a home in a heritage building.

‘At home with heritage: a considered approach to renovating your house’ has been created to provide inspiration and demonstrate how good design and cultural heritage awareness can support the heritage values of a place while also providing a contemporary liveable home.

The guide provides a practical starting point, explaining the concepts of heritage value and significance, the opportunities and challenges that may be encountered and the design questions that need to be considered along the way. It also provides a brief overview of the heritage processes and procedure in Victoria.

The case studies show how others have designed and managed change to different kinds of heritage houses with differing levels of heritage protection, to inspire and demonstrate what might be possible.

The ‘At home with heritage’ guide and case studies can be found at this link.

AUSTRALIA ICOMOS | ICOMOS MEMBER ITEMS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Membership of the Australia ICOMOS Indigenous Heritage Reference Group – call for Expressions of Interest: deadline COB 21 June 2021

The membership of the Australia ICOMOS Indigenous Heritage Reference Group (IHRG) was last refreshed in late 2017. In accordance with the Australia ICOMOS policy for all groups for a number of years, it is now time to refresh the membership.

The purpose of the IHRG is to advise Australia ICOMOS on matters pertaining to Indigenous heritage conservation principles, policies and practice. (It should be noted that while Australia ICOMOS recognises that Indigenous cultural heritage encompasses a broad range of values including, but not limited to, sites and places of historical or contemporary importance and the land itself, the consideration of Indigenous heritage by Australia ICOMOS does not include general land management and conservation, which is outside the focus of Australia ICOMOS). The IHRG provides advice as needed to the President and the Executive Committee on any issues that arise in relation to the conservation of Indigenous cultural heritage. Issues may relate to specific sites as in the case of Indigenous issues in World Heritage Monitoring Missions, or ‘framework’ issues as in the case of preparing submissions on legislation reform. This reference group, initially a Working Group, has existed since 1998. The Group does not hold regular meetings, but acts as issues arise.

Members of the IHRG will be selected based on demonstrated expertise and experience in the area of Australian Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultural heritage conservation. Members must have a high level of expertise in Australian Indigenous heritage management. In selecting members, regard will also be given to ensuring the IHRG has broad geographic representation across Australia and that the membership represents a broad range of expertise in the area of Indigenous heritage conservation. Membership is open to Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australia ICOMOS members. Indigenous members are strongly encouraged to apply. Current IHRG members are able to nominate to renew their membership. Young and/or Emerging Professional members with a specialist skill or interest in Australian Indigenous heritage management, but who don’t have sufficient expertise to become a member, may apply to be an Adjunct member (this is initially a one year appointment, which is reviewed at the end of the year).

More information can be found on the Indigenous 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 IHRG_EOI form_May 2021 to the Australia ICOMOS Secretariat by email by COB 21 June 2021.

For further information please contact the current convenor, Anne McConnell by email.

M/C Journal Special Issue: ‘Design’ | call for papers – deadline: 11 June 2021

‘design’

Between its broader sense of intent and that of making a drawing or plan, design appears to be expanding in both meaning and its application. Design is well understood when related to our material culture, where the medium often bears the imprint of the designer/s. Design has moved relatively seamlessly from the physical into the digital world. It makes sense that someone designs the applications that we use and that digital content, just as much as a poster, requires design. Design activities are rarely inseparable from a market economy, but the language of design has infiltrated business more broadly.

World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize – nominations close 15 June

Forward-thinking. Experimental. Bold. Progressive. Innovative. Once recognized for these defining characteristics, significant modern structures around the world often fall victim to material deterioration, perceived obsolescence, and public apathy. As many of these modern buildings are too young to qualify for landmark designation and protection, the need for preservation and increased public awareness of these unique resources is urgent.

In 2008, World Monuments Fund (WMF) launched the biennial World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize with founding sponsor Knoll to celebrate preservation success stories in buildings that are emblematic of the modern movement.

The prize honors contemporary architects, preservationists, planners, and community leaders who have implemented a physical intervention to preserve a threatened modern building or complex. Nominated projects must have been completed in the last ten years, and the site must have faced challenges or threats before it was preserved.

Nominations are now open for the World Monuments Fund/Knoll Modernism Prize until 15 June 2021.

Seaplanes on Lake Burley Griffin – public consultation invited by 22 June

The National Capital belongs to all Australians, and the NCA seeks to understand and reflect a broader, national perspective about activities in Canberra.

More information is available at the National Capital Authority website.

The NCA welcomes feedback by close of business on 22 June 2021.
