España Tlf. 96 387 77 80 Fax. 96 387 77 89 E-mail: [email protected] http://universidadypatrimonio.net Los especialistas en tortugas marinas más destacados del mundo han descubierto que cerca de la mitad (el 45%) de las poblaciones de tortugas marinas amenazadas del planeta se hallan en el norte del Océano Índico. El estudio determinó asimismo que las amenazas más importantes a todas las poblaciones en cuestión son las capturas accidentales durante la pesca de otras especies y la recolección de huevos de tortugas para comerlos o la explotación comercial del carey. El reciente informe, preparado por el Grupo de Especialistas en Tortugas Marinas de la UICN (Unión Internacional de Conservación de la Naturaleza), apoyado por Conservation International (CI) y la National Fish y Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), constituye la primera evaluación completa del estado de todas las poblaciones de tortugas marinas a nivel mundial. El estudio, ideado para servir de base a programas de conservación e investigación, evaluó el estado de cada población de tortugas marinas y determinó las 11 poblaciones más amenazadas, así como las 12 poblaciones en mejor estado. “Este sistema de evaluación suministra una base de referencia para todas las tortugas marinas, gracias a la cual podemos medir el avance del proceso de recuperación de estas poblaciones amenazadas en el futuro,” explicó Roderic Mast, Copresidente del Grupo de Especialistas en Tortugas Marinas, Vicepresidente de CI, y uno de los autores del estudio. “Gracias a este trabajo, hemos aprendido mucho acerca de los éxitos y fracasos en materia de conservación de las tortugas, y ahora miramos hacia el futuro para reflejar las lecciones aprendidas en estrategias sólidas de conservación de las tortugas marinas y sus hábitats.” Cinco de las 11 especies de tortugas marinas más amenazadas del mundo viven en el norte del Océano Índico. Las poblaciones específicamente amenazadas de la tortuga caguama (Caretta caretta) y de la tortuga golfina o lora (Lepidochelys olivacea) se hallan en el norte del Océano Índico, en aguas y playas de nidificación que se encuentran dentro de Zonas Económicas Exclusivas de países tales como la India, Sri Lanka y Bangladesh. Otras áreas peligrosas para las tortugas marinas son el este del Océano Pacífico (desde los Estados Unidos hasta Sudamérica) y el este del Océano Atlántico (frente a las costas de África Occidental). “Este informe confirma que la India alberga muchas de las tortugas más amenazadas del mundo”, dijo el Dr. B. C. Choudhury, Jefe del Departamento de Manejo de Especies Amenazadas del Wildlife Institute de la India (Instituto de Especies Silvestres) y uno de los autores del estudio. “Este documento es una señal de alerta a las autoridades para que tomen medidas más enérgicas de protección de las tortugas marinas y sus hábitats, para asegurar su supervivencia”. El estudio determinó también cuáles son las 12 poblaciones más sanas del mundo: son éstas poblaciones numerosas y que enfrentan amenazas relativamente limitadas. Cinco especies, entre ellas la tortuga carey (Eretmochelys imbricata) y la tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas), cuentan con poblaciones prósperas que incluyen sitios de nidificación y zonas de alimentación en Australia, México y Brasil. El sudoeste del Océano Índico, Micronesia y la Polinesia Francesa albergan asimismo poblaciones sanas de tortugas. ”Antes de realizar este estudio, todo lo que podíamos decir de las tortugas marinas es que seis de las siete especies están amenazadas de extinción a escala mundial”, señaló el Dr Bryan Wallace, Director Científico del Programa de especies marinas emblemáticas en CI, y autor principal del documento. “Ello no era muy útil para la conservación, porque no nos ayudaba a establecer prioridades en las distintas regiones. Todas las tortugas marinas requieren acciones de conservación, pero este estudio nos ayudará a precisar mejor el blanco de nuestras acciones en las diversas regiones del mundo.” For more information please contact: Maggie Roth, Communications Officer, IUCN Tel: +1 202 518 2072, Mobile: +1 207 229 4726, [email protected] NECROLOGICA - Wangari Maathai de Kenia, ganadora del Premio Nobel de la Paz en 2004 por su compromiso con el medio ambiente, falleció el pasado 25 de septiembre de 2011 en Nairobi - Kenia Con gran tristeza la familia de la profesora Wangari Maathai anunciaba su fallecimiento el 25 de septiembre, en el Hospital de Nairobi, después de una prolongada y valiente lucha contra un cáncer. Sus seres queridos estaban con ella en ese momento. La prematura partida de la profesora Maathai es una pérdida muy grande para todos los que la conocían - como madre, compañera de trabajo, colega, modelo a seguir, y heroína, es de admirar su determinación para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. + info: http://greenbeltmovement.org/index.php Patrimonio arqueológico Patrimonio arqueológico Noticias Agenda Publicaciones Noticias Prehistoric clay disks found at Noatak National Preserve in Northwestern Alaska Noatak National Preserve - Alaska - USA When Mareca Guthrie packed her bags to join a team of archaeologists on an expedition to the Noatak National Preserve in Northwest Alaska this summer, she made sure to bring some art supplies along with the camping gear and obligatory mosquito head net. “I packed pencils and even a watercolor set.” The fine arts collection manager at the University of Alaska Museum of the North joined the expedition to a prehistoric settlement on Feniak Lake to make sketches and take tracings of a group of boulders adorned with petroglyphs, part of the foundation rocks used for several groups of ancient house pits. + info: http://www.uaf.edu/museum/info/press/spotlight/noatak/ Sites palafittiques préhistoriques autour des Alpes La série de 111 sites archéologiques palafittiques sur les 937 connus dans six pays autour des régions alpines et subalpines de l'Europe est composée des vestiges d'établissements préhistoriques datant de 5 000 à 500 av.

C'est à 14 km au nord-est de la mer Morte, dans la vallée méridionale du Jourdain, que se trouve cet immense tertre. Les études et fouilles récentes ont révélé qu'il renfermait une longue histoire d'occupation humaine datant de l'époque islamique jusqu'à, au moins, la période chalcolithique (4500-3600 avant notre ère). Parfois appelée la "Reine de la vallée du sud de la Jordanie", cette zone est la plus importante parmi un groupe de sites antiques qui, collectivement, parsèment cette vallée agricole et fertile. L'ensemble est situé à cheval sur les anciennes routes commerciales et les sources d'eau, avec une vue imprenable sur la zone identifiée par un certain nombre de savants comme étant la plaine du Jourdain. Il n'est donc pas étonnant que l'on y retrouve les traces d'une grande ville antique. + info: http://www.maxisciences.com/arch%e9ologie/jordanie-decouverte-des-vestiges-d-une-cite-etat-datant-de-laperiode-chalcolithique_mrm83658.html Minneapolis Institute of Arts to Transfer Volute Krater to Italy - Minneapolis - Minnesota - USA The Minneapolis Institute of Arts (MIA) has agreed to transfer a 5th century B.C. Greek volute krater acquired by the MIA in 1983 to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) for delivery to Italy. The MIA became concerned with the provenance of the object and contacted the Ministry for Cultural Assets and Activities of the Italian Republic (Ministry). Both the Ministry and ICE HSI provided information about the krater to the Museum. Working collaboratively with the Ministry and ICE HSI and after evaluating the information provided by the Comando Carabinieri per la Tutela del Patrimonio Culturale, as well as its own research, the Museum determined that the krater should be transferred to Italy. + info: http://www.artsmia.org/index.php?section_id=343&pr_id=255 http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/01_2011.html (1 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:02:55] Patrimonio arqueológico Interactive Dig Crete: Zominthos Project - Zominthos Crete - Greece Explore the serenity of the highlanders on Minoan Crete. The ancient Minoans are best known as seafarers, but excavations at the site of Zominthos, nestled in a plateau on Mt. Ida, Crete’s highest mountain, have shown that they were also highlanders. This important second-millennium B.C. site, located about 1,200 meters (nearly 4,000 feet) above sea level, lies on the ancient route between the palace at Knossos, the Minoans’ primary administrative center, and the sacred Ideon Cave, where many believe the legendary god Zeus was born and raised. Zominthos is the only mountaintop Minoan settlement ever to have been excavated and after just a handful of large-scale dig seasons is already yielding groundbreaking information. + info: http://www.archaeology.org/interactive/zominthos/ Interactive Dig El Carrizal: Ayudemos a la Estación de trenes de Carrizal - Veracruz México El Carrizal se ubica geográficamente en el Centro del Estado de Veracruz, al Norte de la Cuenca hidrológica del Río Los pescados. Pertenece al Municipio Emiliano Zapata y es fácilmente accesible desde las ciudades de Xalapa y Veracruz. Debido a la abundancia de recursos naturales de la región no es extraño que el área sea famosa a nivel estatal por los baños termales y numerosos balnearios, que representan un atractivo turístico para las familias veracruzanas. En el marco de nuestras actividades curriculares de la carrera de Arqueología de la Universidad Veracruzana (UV), efectuamos labores de vinculación a la comunidad de Agua Caliente, a cargo del profesor Ernesto Fernández Panes. En nuestro camino a dicha comunidad, notamos con algo de sorpresa los montìculos conservados a la entrada de El Carrizal ; ubicado en el camino a Agua Caliente. Tres años después, investigando para nuestras tesis de posgrado, « descubrimos » el sitio como uno de los pocos asentamientos del Formativo en el Centro-Sur de Veracruz ; además de contar con algunos de los pocos yugos encontrados en contexto de excavaciones controladas. + info: http://www.archaeology.org/interactive/veracruz/ Interactive Dig Johnson's Island: Unlocking a Civil War Prison - Ohio - USA Join archaeologist David Bush beyond the "dead line" at Johnson's Island, Ohio. This year, our investigations are centered on Block 8 within the Prison Compound. ARCHAEOLOGY joined Bush and his crew in 2002 as they headed into the field to excavate barracks that once housed Confederate POWs. We returned to Johnson’s Island in 2006, 2007, and 2008 to follow investigations of the prison hospital, where work continues in 2009. David Bush joined Heidelberg College’s Center for Historic and Military Archaeology in 1998 to focus exclusively on the Johnson’s Island Prisoner of War Depot.

Such transformations have important implications in social, economic, educational and scientific terms. + info: http://www.ace-archaeology.eu/the-archaeological-profession.shtml Comparative Practices in Archaeology Archaeologists use a range of methods and procedures to better identify and study the past - from the initial detection of archaeological remains to their excavation and laboratory analyses, and from initial administrative documentation to final report and publications. On all these practices, comparative 'state of the art' appraisals make it possible to share skills and expertise, and provide guidance and recommendations. + info: http://www.ace-archaeology.eu/comparative-practices-in-archaeology.shtml Archaeology and the crisis (Archaeology in Contemporary Europe) Major changes in the global economy have affected and will continue to affect our lives. Both at face value and as a collective syndrome, the 'crisis' clearly impacts on the practice of archaeology, on its practitioners, and ultimately on the knowledge we produce about the past. This webpage proposes to monitor some of these effects, on a country by country basis, on four overlapping themes: (a) Research funding and priorities (b) Professional employment and skills (c) Conservation and public outreach, and (d) Heritage management, policies and legislation In seeking and submitting information on these themes, remember that: - Each country have their initial conditions which need to be clearly understood. - Each country is responding through different measures, with different anticipated and unforeseen effects. - The 'crisis' can neither account for nor excuse everything that is going on: other processes and patterns need to be taken on board. Information in this website is open to comments, periodically updated and reviewed to highlight possible trends. This will serve us to better grasp the immediate and long term effects of the crisis - and possibly contribute to archaeology's bouncing back. + info: http://www.ace-archaeology.eu/archaeology-and-the-crisis.shtml La sédentarisation du chasseur-cueilleur en bord de Seine Visite du site avec Cyril Marcigny, archéologue responsable d'opération Inrap. http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/01_2011.html (4 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:02:55] Patrimonio arqueológico Implanté en vallée de Seine, au niveau de sa confluence avec l’Eure, le site d'Alizay était parcouru de chenaux attractifs autour desquels divers groupes humains se sont installés durant la Préhistoire et la Protohistoire.

Ce site en bordure de la rivière du Bec est remarquable à plusieurs titres : la rareté des sites de cette période en Haute-Normandie, son excellent état de conservation ainsi que la qualité et l’originalité de l’assemblage lithique découvert (près de 5 000 outils de silex). L’absence de restes de faune est palliée par des études géoarchéologique et techno-typologique, laquelle a permis de percevoir les objectifs du débitage. De nombreux remontages et raccords associés à l’analyse des méthodes de taille et des techniques de percussion contribuent à la compréhension des différentes séquences de la chaîne opératoire. Enfin, des comparaisons régionales et extrarégionales établies avec des gisements de même nature complètent cette étude. + info: http://www.inrap.fr/archeologie-preventive/Ressources-multimedias/Publications/Publications/p-13644-Le-bivouacprehistorique-du-Buhot-a-Calleville-Eure-.htm Le cimetière Saint-Michel de Toulouse Sous la direction de Didier Paya et Jean Catalo, Inrap Avec les auteurs : Élodie Cabot, Fabien Callède, Jean Catalo, Sylvie Duchesne, Henri Molet, Didier Paya (Inrap). Collection « Recherches archéologiques ». Coédition Inrap-CNRS Editions Un vaste cimetière médiéval a été découvert, à Toulouse, à l’occasion des fouilles préventives qui ont eu lieu à l’emplacement de la station de métro Palais-de-Justice, de la Cité judiciaire et des allées PaulFeuga. Une étude portant sur plus de 900 tombes a été menée, alliant les aspects anthropologiques, taphonomiques, typologiques et chronostratigraphiques. Le but des auteurs dans cet ouvrage est d’aller au-delà de l’histoire d’un quartier à travers les découvertes archéologiques, mais bien de se pencher sur la naissance et le développement d’une zone funéraire alors aux marges de la ville médiévale et d’en tirer des conclusions sur l’évolution du statut des cimetières, des pratiques funéraires et des populations inhumées. + info: http://www.inrap.fr/archeologie-preventive/Ressources-multimedias/Publications/Publications/p-13643-Lecimetiere-Saint-Michel-de-Toulouse.htm Fouilles et découvertes en Picardie - France Par Jean-Luc Collart et Marc Talon Editions Ouest-France/Inrap, juin 2011 La Picardie a marqué le point de départ des études paléolithiques en France grâce à la découverte, au milieu du XIXe siècle, de traces de vie humaine vieilles de 300 000 à 450 000 ans dans les terrasses alluviales de la Somme.

Drawing from that volume’s more than forty outstanding chapters, extensive references, including from conferences of the International Water History Association and from his lifelong intellectual and academic commitment to water history, Fekri Hassan has formulated the co-evolutionary theory of the historical transformations of water management that he describes in this truly remarkable essay. We are convinced that this is not only an important contribution to a better understanding of the interaction of civilizations with water today, but will also help to guide our actions toward the future. + info: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0021/002108/210879e.pdf Palestine Exploration Quarterly - Volume 144 Print ISSN: 0031-0328 / Online ISSN: 1743-1301 Editor: David Jacobson (Palestine Exploration Fund, UK) Palestine Exploration Quarterly (PEQ) is the peer-reviewed journal of the Palestine Exploration Fund, which was established in 1865 as the first scholarly society dedicated to the scientific study of what was then generally known as the Holy Land.

Cape Town (South Africa) 02-08 July 2011 A thoroughly stimulating and thought provoking week was enjoyed by all attending the “Shared Built Heritage in Africa” symposium from 2 to 7 July 2011. The dramatic symposium venue was the Casteel De Goede Hoop (Castle of Good Hope) in Cape Town. Site visits were equally inspiring to Groot Constancia, a stunning Cape Dutch House with huge camphor laurel trees, Stellenbosch in the Cape Vinelands Cultural Landscape (which is on the South African nominations list), Genadendal Moravian Mission Station, and a guided walk of historic Cape Town noting management issues and less orthodox sites – one bar has ‘adapted’ stainless steel c1950s caravans on the roof!. Bureau members took this opportunity to visit ‘Pinelands’ garden suburb (dating from the 1920s to c1950s), and Robben Island World Heritage Site. + info: http://australia.icomos.org/e-news/australia-icomos-e-mail-news-no-503/#11 AD Classics: David S. Ingalls Skating Rink - Eero Saarinen - 1958 - New Haven Connecticut - USA Built in 1958, the David S Ingalls Skating Rink is characterized by a sweeping domed roof, was designed by Yale graduate Eero Saarinen and is lovingly known as the Yale whale. This hockey rink contains a span 200 feet long by 85 feet wide and does so with a natural sense of flow and polish. Though the rink is seemingly heavy and brutal it is truly a tensile structure. The main structure comes from a 290 foot long central arched backbone of reinforced concrete. From this central support the timber roof is “hung” on a cable net structure which gives it the signature double curve. Further cables running from the central arch to the outer edges of the building help stabilize the structure against wind loads. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/157708/ AD Classics: Cosmic Rays Pavilion - Felix Candela - 1951 - Mexico City - Mexico The Cosmic Rays Pavilion represents one of the first experiments with parabolic structures. The double curved structure is made of a very thin layer of concrete, exemplifying its structural and design capabilities. These mathematically complex structures define the popular architecture of the pavilion’s designer Felix Candela. Measuring 40 feet by 35 feet the pavilion, the structure contains two laboratory spaces specializing in the measurement of cosmic rays and nuclear disintegration for the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Ciudad Universitaria. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/158000/ AD Classics: Xanadu House - Roy Mason - 1983 - Kissimmee - Florida - USA Heralded as “House of the Future”, the Xanadu House by Roy Mason is a domed structure constructed completely form insulating polyurethane foam. The house was appropriately built less than 30 miles away from Disney World’s “Land of Tomorrow” Epcot Center and the two were opened only a few months apart. The Xanadu House Project consisted of three show homes throughout the United States; the other two were constructed in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The point of the homes was to show the general public that this innovative structure could provide a low cost modern home that could be built quickly and easily. The Kissimmee House was the most popular, http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/04_2011.html (2 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:03:34] Patrimonio construido partially because of its size but also because of its prime location. At its high point the house was attracting 1000 visitors per day. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/156292/ AD Classics: Yale Center for British Art - Louis Kahn - 1974 - New Haven Connecticut - USA Across the street from Louis Kahn’s first significant piece of architecture stands his last. The Yale Center for British Art was completed in 1974, the year of Kahn’s death and 23 years after its neighbor, The Yale University Art Gallery was finished. A style and theoretical change throughout a career is visible in one scene. Unlike most galleries, the design prompt for the Yale’s British Art Gallery called for very specific needs. Being part of an educational institution the agenda called for several learning oriented spaces. The program consisted of stipulations for exhibition space and storage space for paintings, sculpture, drawings and prints; a rare book collection; a research library; a photograph archive; an auditorium; classrooms; workshops and offices; and conservation facilities. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/159193/ AD Classics: Koshino House - Tadao Ando - 1980-1984 - Ashiya - Hyogo - Japan Tadao Ando’s design for the Koshino House features two parallel concrete rectangular confines. The forms are partially buried into the sloping ground of a national park and become a compositional addition to the landscape. Placed carefully as to not disrupt the pre-existing trees on the site, the structure responds to the adjacent ecosystem while the concrete forms address a more general nature through a playful manipulation of light. More about the Koshino House after the break. The northern volume consists of a two-storey height containing a double height living room, a kitchen and a dining room on the first floor with the master bedroom and a study on the second floor. The southern mass then consists of six linearly organized children’s bedrooms, a bathroom and a lobby. Connecting the two spaces is a below grade tunnel that lies beneath the exterior stairs of the courtyard. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/161522/ AD Classics: Chandigarh Secretariat - Le Corbusier - 1951-1962 - Chandigarh India Taking over from Albert Mayer, Le Corbusier produced a plan for Chandigarh on the foothills of the Himalayas that conformed to the modern city planning principles of Congrès International d’Architecture Moderne (CIAM), in terms of division of urban function, an anthropomorphic plan form, and a hierarchy of road and pedestrian networks, Inherently, the Secretariat building is the largest edifice in the Capitol Complex and is the headquarters of both the Punjab and Haryana governments. Le Corbusier’s plan for the capitol consisted of four buildings (or “edifices”) and six monuments arranged on a single site, loosely conceptualized as three interlocking squares. Only three of these four buildings were ever realized (the High Court, the Legislative Assembly, and the Secretariat) and were designed to represent the major functions of democracy — the fourth building, the Governor’s Palace, was never built. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/162279/ AD Classics: Bavinger House - Bruce Goff - 1950-1955 - Norman - Oklahoma - USA The mid-century modern movement found an odd yet welcoming home in the small town of Norman, Oklahoma. One of its most notable contributors was organic aficionado Bruce Goff. Goff came to popularity in the 1940’s as both instructor and practitioner of his eclectic brand of architecture. Goff’s 1950′s Bavinger House is seen by many as the crowning achievement of his extensive body of work. The Bavinger House put a new twist on the naturalist modernism of Goff’s contemporaries. Where Wright used flat planes and conventional floor plans, Goff introduced distinctive floor plans, mixing materiality with eccentric spaces to produce a desired effect. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/171574/ AD Interviews: Peter Eisenman Architect, educator, and theorist, internationally recognized Peter Eisenman was a part of an important generation of architects and popularized amongst the general public when he was exhibited at the MoMA in 1969 as one of the New York Five. Eisenman, along with Michael Graves, Charles Gwathmey, John Hejduk, and Richard Meier (Eisenman’s second cousin) made up the ‘group of architects whose work, represented a return to the formalism of early modern rationalist architecture’. Eisenman earned a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Cornell University, a Master of Science in Architecture degree from Columbia University, and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Cambridge University (U.K). He founded an international think tank for architecture, the Institute for Architecture and Urban Studies (IAUS), serving as director until 1982 and simultaneously established his own architecture firm. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/170767/ Redevelopment of the West Wing, Central Government Offices - Hong Kong - China Please find here in the link the reply of the Development Bureau - Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to the Flash Info "Call for academic support 'Hong Kong Government Hill at threat'" sent on 9 September 2011. http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/04_2011.html (3 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:03:34] Patrimonio construido + info: http://universidadypatrimonio.net/Flash_Info/20111003_HongKong.html President Lincoln's Cottage Shaken Up By August Earthquake - National Trust for Historic Preservation - Washington D.C. - USA When a 5.8 magnitude earthquake sent powerful tremors through Washington, D.C., on August 23, President Lincoln's Cottage and historic buildings near the National Trust Historic Site sustained significant damage. The 1842 Gothic Revival cottage, which served as a place of respite for Abraham Lincoln and his family during his presidency, and later for presidents Rutherford B. Hayes and Chester A. Arthur, sustained interior damage estimated in the thousands of dollars, while the 1850s Sherman Building, part of the Armed Forces Retirement Home campus, was hardest hit, with as much as $17 million worth of damage. + info: http://www.preservationnation.org/magazine/2011/story-of-the-day/president-lincolns-cottage.html AD Classics: Menil Collection - Renzo Piano - 1982-1986 - Houston - Texas - USA Most important Architectural additions to a city are those of spectacle, meant to stand out and grab attention, such as Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, or Daniel Libeskind’s extension to the Denver Art Museum. But when Renzo Piano made his American debut with the Menil Collection 25 years ago, the result was far from spectacle, but rather more supplementary to an already established neighborhood scale.

The buildings are part of their own isolated campus in Palhavã, in the center of Lisbon. Architects Ruy Jervis d’Athouguia, Pedro Cid and Alberto Pessoa designed the campus and the buildings in memory of the foundation’s namesake, and both the foundation and the buildings have only grown more respected over the decades. More on the buildings after the break. Ruy Jervis d’Athouguia, Pedro Cid and Alberto Pessoa received the commission for the Gulbenkian Foundation and Museum after winning a competition in 1959. The competition invited three teams of three architects to propose their ideas for buildings that would serve as a cultural center and museum for the late Calouste Gulbenkian’s impressive art collection. The final designs were constructed in 1969. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/169378/ On Oikonomia: Saarinen's Ezra Stiles College Open After $55M Renovation - New Haven Connecticut - USA NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT–Yale’s Ezra Stiles College, designed by Eero Saarinen and completed in 1961, reopened to students last month after a one-year, $55 million dollar renovation. The project was the last in a complete overhaul of all the residential colleges at Yale, which started in 1998 and has cost over $500 million (adjusted for inflation). Students are happy with the work, praising the new brick pizza oven in the dining hall, shift from single to suite-style rooms, and improved furniture and lighting. Jon Rubin ’12 told the Yale Daily News (YDN) the renovated Stiles is “definitely a step up” from the college he lived in two years ago. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/170141/ AD Classics: Rothko Chapel - Philip Johnson, Howard Barnstone, Eugene Aubry and Mark Rothko - 1971 - Houston - Texas - USA In 1964 Mark Rothko was commissioned by John and Dominique de Menil (who are also founders of the nearby Menil Collection that is housed in the Renzo Piano-designed Menil Museum and Cy Twombly Gallery) to create a meditative space filled with his site-specific paintings. The original architect assigned to work alongside Rothko was Philip Johnson, with whom Rothko clashed over their distinct ideas for the building. Rothko would object to the monumentality of Johnson’s plan as distracting from the artwork it was to house. For this reason the Chapel would go through several revisions and architects working on the meditative space. Rothko continued first with Howard Barnstone and then Eugene Aubry, but ultimately did not live to see the chapel’s completion in 1971. It was after a long struggle with depression that Rothko committed suicide in his New York Studio on February 25th, 1970. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/160388/ AD Classics: Pearl Bank Apartments - Tan Cheng Siong - 1969-1976 - Chinatown Singapore At the time of its completion in 1976, the Pearl Bank Apartment complex was the highestdensity and tallest residential structure in Singapore at 38 stories. The total height of the horseshoe-shaped complex exceeded 430’ tall and was home for over 1,500 inhabitants. Designed by Tan Cheng Siong of Archurban Architects & Planners, Pearl Bank served as a beacon of contemporary residential design and acted as precedent to the subsequent highdensity urban development in Singapore and throughout southeast Asia. http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/04_2011.html (4 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:03:34] Patrimonio construido Organizationally, the parti of the Pearl Bank Apartments is a ¾ cylindrical tower enveloping a west-facing interior courtyard on the lower level. Not only did this orientation minimize solar heat gain from the afternoon sun, it also was vital to capturing the magnificent views afforded at the top of Pearl’s Hill. The cylindrical shape of the tower suggested various structural methods, including the ten arrayed shear walls whose mass serve as physical and acoustic separation between adjacent units. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/157679/ Frank Lloyd Wright's Historic Park Inn Restored - Mason City - Iowa - USA The restoration of The Historic Park Inn Hotel marks the culmination of efforts begun in the 1970’s. The property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and various attempts at renovation were made over the years. The $18.5 million restoration has restored the building to its 1910 appearance and into a 27-room boutique hotel. Public spaces in the hotel have also been restored, with period appropriate furnishings throughout the hotel. The Historic Park Inn Hotel is a perfect example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie School design and the only commercial structure in the state of Iowa. + info: http://wrightonthepark.org/restoration/ 28 Church Street Extension - S. Porobic Associates - Wellingborough - England We were commissioned by the Borough Council of Wellingborough to remodel, extend and refurbish Grade ll listed building at 28 Church Street, Wellingborough. The brief was to bring back to life very dilapidated building and set the quality level for the rest of forthcoming development. This small building, set in the heart of Conservation Area, was meant to act as a catalyst for the Urban renewal of the town centre. The building was originally part of church assembly buildings formed around All Hallows Church, Grade l listed building dating from 12th century. The building itself is from 16th century but majority of the edifice is from the early 19th century. At rear and the west, the site was defined by low quality 20th century extension and extensive overgrown landscaping. To the east the site was separated from the church by high walls and high shrubs. The last use of the building was storage for the local theatre company. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/171797/ Le patrimoine bâti sur le Grand Site des deux Caps - Cap Gris-Nez et Cap Blanc-Nez - Pas de Calais - France Avant la grande mode des bains de mer, le Site des Deux Caps n’était pas une destination touristique.

It was conceived during the Grands Projets, a major development initiative headed by the French government. The IMA was produced through collaboration with the countries of the Arab League and the French government. Upon its completion in 1987, it quickly became a popular destination for the local populace as well as tourists. More details after the break. One of the main reasons behind the construction of this institute was to create a destination devoted to the relationship of the Arab culture with France. Located at the threshold of the historical peripheries of Paris along the River Seine, it responds to its immediate context both in plan and elevation. In plan it follows the curvature of the road, whose form is dictated by the river. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/162101/ Patrimoine bâti du Grand Site de la Montagne Sainte Victoire - France Représentatif de l’identité d’un territoire et de modes de vies ancestraux, le patrimoine bâti mérite une attention particulière. Sur le périmètre du Grand Site, l’homme a construit une civilisation intimement liée à la nature. Jour après jour, pierre après pierre, une histoire s’est ainsi construite, empreinte de ténacité et d’ingéniosité. Malheureusement, l’usure du temps touche nombre de ces édifices. Par exemple, le patrimoine bâti agricole tend à disparaître. Jadis en cultivant les terres, on maintenait les milieux ouverts, aujourd’hui la déprise agricole, l’enfrichement des parcelles et leur conquête par la forêt de pins ont parfois fait disparaître certains éléments architecturaux sous le couvert végétal.

Diseñadas por los arquitectos estadounidenses Philip Johnson y John Burgee en 1989, fueron los primeros rascacielos inclinados del mundo. Las Torres KIO son dos torres de cristal, granito y metal, inversamente simétricas de 114 metros de altura repartidos en 27 plantas y destaca su inclinación de 15º respecto a la vertical.

Leazar Hall, originally a Dining Hall (Circa 1912), had been subdivided over the years into a maze of office and classroom spaces. This project restores the three level (plus mezzanine) building into a single use building for studios, seminar / review rooms, materials lab, and faculty offices. The project consisted of totally gutting the interior of the building, including all engineering systems. Interior spaces were opened up to create the program requirements for studios, materials lab (woodworking, metal, welding, finishing booths, CNC machines, etc.) seminar rooms, review spaces, and offices. The north-south and east-west axes were opened up, creating circulation zones and review spaces.

Designed in 1963 for the London County Council and completed in 1967 by the Greater London Council, this social housing estate broke the traditions of typical residential architecture. Conceived as a solution to sprawling suburbia, Goldfinger embraced verticality as the cure. More details after the break. Rising to 84 meters in height, the Balfron Tower dwarfs its immediate neighbors – the Carradale House, and the Glenkerry House – all forming part of the Brownfield Estates also designed by Goldfinger. In a drastic shift from the typical preconception of tower architecture, Goldfinger separated the services from the accommodation by splitting the tower in two. Entry is gained via a concrete bridge that opens into the main lobby of the slender service tower. The internal core houses the lifts and staircases, in addition to the utility functions such as laundry, and waste disposal chutes. A pattern of thin windows breaks up the monolithic concrete exterior and provides ample daylighting into the interior. A boiler room located at the top of the service tower cantilevers out slightly from the main façade. This served to reduce the need for pumps as water could flow down to the flats by gravity. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/160672/ Save Ellis Island works to preserve buildings - New Jersey - USA Save Ellis Island is the National Park Service fundraising and programmatic non-profit partner for the rehabilitation of the twenty-nine remaining buildings on Ellis Island, with the mission and mandate to raise the funds necessary to create and sustain, within these buildings, the Ellis Island Institute and Conference Center. + info: http://www.saveellisisland.org/site/PageServer? pagename=about_us http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/04_2011.html (6 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:03:34] Patrimonio construido BULLETIN DE L'ISPAN (Institut de sauvegarde du patrimoine national ) Numéro SPECIAL - Haïti Monuments historiques d’Haïti élus au WMF Watch 2012 + info: universidadypatrimonio.net/doc/ISPAN_Special.pdf Vermont tries to save historic buildings after Irene - Vermont - USA The floodwaters of Tropical Storm Irene that ripped up roads and washed into living rooms across Vermont took a dramatic toll on quaint old villages — filling white, steepled churches with muck and knocking 19th-century clapboard houses off their foundations. That's a big problem for a small state that cherishes its history. The classic villages of clapboard and stone buildings hugging the state's rivers and streams are the essence of Vermont and a big tourist draw.

There has been a clear temperature rise of 0.056 °C y-1 in the Antarctic Peninsula and this has led to changes in higher plant extent and range. In the more extreme environments of the main continent the vegetation is scattered and composed of lichens and mosses. There is interest in the possible effects of global climate change on these communities acting through changes in temperature and precipitation. Lichens have been extensively used to date the substrates on which they are growing using the techniques of lichenometry. The slow growth and longevity of lichens particularly suites them for this use. We present evidence that there appears to be a substantial (two orders of magnitude) cline in lichen growth rate from the warmer, wetter and more productive Peninsula to the cold Dry Valleys at 77°S latitude. The differences in growth rate reflect the precipitation and temperature regimes at the different sites. The large range in growth rates coupled with the simplicity of measuring lichen growth using modern techniques suggests that this could be an excellent tool for the detection of climate change in continental Antarctica. © 2007 Elsevier GmbH.

Depuis quelques décennies, la banquise arctique subit un déclin spectaculaire, qui va bien audelà des projections des modèles climatiques. La rapidité inattendue de cette disparition vient d'être expliquée par des chercheurs du CNRS, de l'Université Joseph Fourier et du Massachusetts institute of technology. Selon eux, les modèles climatiques sous-estiment la vitesse d'amincissement de la banquise. Celle-ci est en réalité près de quatre fois plus rapide que celle calculée par les modèles. À l'origine de ce biais, une "mauvaise" représentation de la dérive des glaces de mer, et donc de leur évacuation vers le sud, à travers le détroit de Fram, hors du bassin arctique. Permettant de corriger l'écart entre simulations et observations, une meilleure prise en compte de ce mécanisme suggère la disparition de la banquise arctique estivale, bien avant la fin du siècle.

Chemical ozone destruction occurs over both polar regions in local winter–spring. In the Antarctic, essentially complete removal of lower-stratospheric ozone currently results in an ozone hole every year, whereas in the Arctic, ozone loss is highly variable and has until now been much more limited. Here we demonstrate that chemical ozone destruction over the Arctic in early 2011 was—for the first time in the observational record—comparable to that in the Antarctic ozone hole. Unusually long-lasting cold conditions in the Arctic lower stratosphere led to persistent enhancement in ozone-destroying forms of chlorine and to unprecedented ozone loss, which exceeded 80 per cent over 18–20 kilometres altitude. Our results show that Arctic ozone holes are possible even with temperatures much milder than those in the Antarctic. We cannot at present predict when such severe Arctic ozone depletion may be matched or exceeded. + info: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature10556.html Convención Marco de Naciones Unidas sobre Cambio Climático - Ciudad de Panamá (Panamá) 1-7 octubre 2011 La secretaria ejecutiva de la Convención Marco de Naciones Unidas sobre Cambio Climático, Christiana Figueres, brindó hoy un panorama optimista de la reunión en Panamá preparatoria de la Cumbre de Durban, Sudáfrica.

These changes are expected to continue in the future, in forms of weather pattern changes, and increased risks of water-related disasters such as floods and droughts. As "cradle of the Chinese civilization", the Yellow River is faced with tightened challenges of climate change. It is estimated that from 1956 to 2000, runoff in the Yellow River basin has been reduced by almost 8%. Similar reduction has been observed as well in regards to precipitation.

The lake has been used as a source of salt production from the 6th century AD, which is also around the time when historians pinpoint that the present-day town was founded by King Vasudev of the Chauhan Dynasty. Over time, salt production of the lake, as well as the town itself, has passed through the hands of Mughal and Rajput dynasties, and finally by the British in 1870 until independence in 1947. These different influences have created a multi-dimensional urban fabric representing all these phases. Sambhar also has a significant religious history.

Phnom Bakheng, built between the late-ninth and early tenth centuries as a state temple for a city later absorbed into Angkor, is one of the oldest temples in the Angkor Archaeological Park. The award of $450,000 will complete a conservation project begun in 2009 with a prior $1 million Ambassadors Fund grant. The temple is one of the most popular at Angkor, especially at sunset, for the view it affords of Angkor Wat.

In just five years, over 6,000 workers and soldiers built a blocking position at one of the narrowest points in the Eisack valley. It has the dimensions of a small town and, with a surface area of 20 hectares, is the largest fortification in the Alpine region. With this monumental defensive work the Habsburgs hoped to halt the advance of the revolutionary changes provoked by the French revolution. Designed by regimental engineer Franz von Scholl, it consists of three autonomous sections: the upper, middle and lower fortress levels. It has clear and simple classicist lines; it is functional and impregnable.

These lands, spread out over a vast maritime space, are places of memory for the people who inhabit them and have created many different forms of social and cultural organizations. The Society for Oceanists is a non-profit association that was created in 1945 at the Museum of Man in Paris. It evolved from two old learned societies: the Society for Oceanian Studies, founded in Papeete (Tahiti), and the Society for Melanesian Studies, founded in Nouméa (New Caledonia). Its headquarters are at the Quai Branly Museum. The purpose of the Society for Oceanists’ activities is to facilitate and exchange views in diverse areas that have as much to do with the human and social sciences as with natural sciences.

We detect no evidence of European admixture and estimate contamination levels to be below 0.5%. We show that Aboriginal Australians are descendants of an early human dispersal into eastern Asia, possibly 62,000 to 75,000 years ago. This dispersal is separate from the one that gave rise to modern Asians 25,000 to 38,000 years ago. We also find evidence of gene flow between populations of the two dispersal waves prior to the divergence of Native Americans from modern Asian ancestors. Our findings support the hypothesis that present-day Aboriginal Australians descend from the earliest humans to occupy Australia, likely representing one of the oldest continuous populations outside Africa. + info: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2011/09/21/science.1211177 Denisova Admixture and the First Modern Human Dispersals into Southeast Asia and Oceania It has recently been shown that ancestors of New Guineans and Bougainville Islanders have inherited a proportion of their ancestry from Denisovans, an archaic hominin group from Siberia. However, only a sparse sampling of populations from Southeast Asia and Oceania were analyzed. Here, we quantify Denisova admixture in 33 additional populations from Asia and Oceania. Aboriginal Australians, Near Oceanians, Polynesians, Fijians, east Indonesians, and Mamanwa (a “Negrito” group from the Philippines) have all inherited genetic material from Denisovans, but mainland East Asians, western Indonesians, Jehai (a Negrito group from Malaysia), and Onge (a Negrito group from the Andaman Islands) have not. These results indicate that Denisova gene flow occurred into the common ancestors of New Guineans, Australians, and Mamanwa but not into the ancestors of the Jehai and Onge and suggest that relatives of present-day East Asians were not in Southeast Asia when the Denisova gene flow occurred. Our finding that descendants of the earliest inhabitants of Southeast Asia do not all harbor Denisova admixture is inconsistent with a history in which the Denisova interbreeding occurred in mainland Asia and then spread over Southeast Asia, leading to all its earliest modern human inhabitants. Instead, the data can be most parsimoniously explained if the Denisova gene flow occurred in Southeast Asia itself. Thus, archaic Denisovans must have lived over an extraordinarily broad geographic and ecological range, from Siberia to tropical Asia. + info: http://www.cell.com/AJHG/abstract/S0002-9297%2811%2900395-8 Connecting Europe Through History: Experiences and Perceptions of Migrations in Europe On the 21st of March in 2010 a coach was taking 35 European history teachers from Nijmegen in http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/06_2011.html (8 de 10) [14/10/2011 20:04:10] Patrimonio Cultural Netherlands to Kleve in Germany.

Connue sous le nom d’Ecole de Nancy, « l’Alliance provinciale des industries d’art » regroupe des architectes, des industriels d’art et des artistes décorateurs comme Emile Gallé, Victor Prouvé, Louis Majorelle, Antonin Daum ou encore Eugène Vallin… A leurs côtés, Emile André (1871-1933) est peut-être l’un des artistes de cette école dont la renommée est aujourd’hui la plus discrète : certaines de ses réalisations comptent pourtant parmi les oeuvres fondatrices de l’architecture Art nouveau. Après des études à l’Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Emile André entreprend de nombreux voyages qui le conduisent jusqu’en Perse : ils sont à l’origine de sa passion pour l’archéologie et la culture musulmane. En 1900, il s’installe à Nancy en tant qu’architecte. Il y construit des villas luxueuses et excelle dans la création de pièces de mobilier, participant ainsi à la quête d’un art total. Au lendemain de la Première Guerre mondiale, l’architecte se tourne vers le régionalisme, courant majeur de la modernité de la première moitié du XXe siècle. + info: http://www.decitre.fr/livres/Emile-Andre-art-nouveau-et-modernites.aspx/9782918371090 Palestine Exploration Quarterly - Volume 144 Print ISSN: 0031-0328 / Online ISSN: 1743-1301 Editor: David Jacobson (Palestine Exploration Fund, UK) Palestine Exploration Quarterly (PEQ) is the peer-reviewed journal of the Palestine Exploration Fund, which was established in 1865 as the first scholarly society dedicated to the scientific study of what was then generally known as the Holy Land.

Although wedding ceremonies from Eastern Europe were essentially similar, local customs varied from region to region, as well as from country to country. Ceremonies and rituals reflected concerns with longevity, fertility, prosperity and happiness. Despite inevitable changes wrought by time, globalisation and industrialisation, remnants of earlier traditions of music and dance are still preserved in Eastern European wedding ceremonies until today. Cultural treasures preserved in the sound archives of Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia provide a fascinating look view at vanishing wedding traditions and rituals in Eastern Europe.

Professor Barry Cooper’s reconstruction of the original slow movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet in G, Opus 18 Number 2, will be heard in something like its original form this week, in a performance by the University’s resident string quartet Quatuor Danel. The movement was composed in 1799 but was discarded a year later and lost when it was replaced by a new movement now known to music lovers across the world. It is almost certainly the first time, says Professor Cooper, that the piece will have been performed since Beethoven’s day. Although the original movement is lost, detailed sketches survive for every one of its 74 bars, as was established in 1977 by Sieghard Brandenburg. It is only since then, however, that it has become clear that Beethoven actually finished the movement and wrote it out at the time. + info: http://www.arts.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/latestnews/display/?id=7454 The Walters Art Museum Removes Copyright Restrictions from more than 10,000 Images - Baltimore Maryland - USA The Walters Art Museum announces the launch of its redesigned works of art website with the removal of copyright restrictions on more than 10,000 online artwork images through a Creative Commons license .

Emergency responders have used just such a supercharged structure for years: the Incident Command System (ICS). Since its development in the early 1970s the ICS has been used to tackle a vast array of incidents, including fires, floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes. The system has demonstrated that it can scale up to handle disasters that mushroom over large areas and even multiple states. But the ICS was designed to scale down as well as up. Few practitioners have addressed the question of how to use the ICS to manage an emergency within a single institution—until now. + info: http://www.rescuingrecords.com/ics.html Paths to peace: India's voices in UNESCO; 64 years of UNESCO-India co-operation © UNESCO New Delhi, 2009 ISBN: 9788189218331 UNESCO, an organisation that came up out of the devastation and horror of WW II, is wholly committed to preserving and ensuring Peace in today’s world order. ‘That since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed’ reads the Preamble to the UNESCO Constitution. Many a great men have dedicated their lives to maintaining and propagating peace. Amongst them many Indian luminaries have used UNESCO as a convenient platform for propounding peace. This Peace is however ever- changing, that is to say, the understanding of it, differs. Each generation throws up new dimensions to it, and yet it is admirably universal and indispensible. This slim volume puts together the voices of eminent Indians who advocated different paths to peace at different historical moments during the last six decades. + info: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0021/002117/211747e.pdf The seventeenth Annual Report of the Network of Concerned Historians The seventeenth Annual Report of the Network of Concerned Historians (NCH) contains news about the domain where history and human rights intersect, especially about the censorship of history and the persecution of historians, archivists, and archaeologists around the globe, as reported by various human rights organizations and other sources.

Specimens in amber are preserved in greater detail, but they are rare. Late Cretaceous coal-rich strata from western Canada provide the richest and most diverse Mesozoic feather assemblage yet reported from amber. The fossils include primitive structures closely matching the protofeathers of nonavian dinosaurs, offering new insights into their structure and function. Additional derived morphologies confirm that plumage specialized for flight and underwater diving had evolved in Late Cretaceous birds.

En todo el mundo, investigadores y personas exploran las colecciones de los archivos y museos para encontrar obras de arte que han perdido la pista desde su desaparición durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Por su parte, los museos públicos y privados - en Europa y Estados Unidos - han comenzado a hacer investigaciones en sus propias colecciones.

Today the built exterior and interior spaces manifest not only his interpretation of democratic separation of powers within the Alamannic cultural region of the Alps’ Rhine River valley. They also stand for a conscious understanding of an architecture of urban contiguity, whereby the original masterplan of Luigi Snozzi has been newly reinterpreted. At the same time the pure and meticulous materialization of the new context rejects generic easy conventions, and strive for an architecture of space and timelessness. It is this very elementary and sustainably durable quality that makes use of non-renewable resources according to rigorous Minergy- Standards.

It intends to raise awareness among key decision-makers, particularly at state and local level, on the role they can play in the balanced development of historical districts in order to prevent social exclusion, "gentrification", "ghettoisation" or "museification". + info: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0018/001894/189482e.pdf Ir a arriba http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/17_2011.html (4 de 4) [14/10/2011 20:04:43] Patrimonio Científico, Astronómico, Tecnológico e Industrial Patrimonio Científico, Astronómico, Tecnológico e Industrial Noticias Agenda Publicaciones Noticias Le ciel devient plus proche de Moscou - Réouverture du Planétarium de Moscou - Fédération de Russie Après 17 ans de reconstruction, le planétarium de Moscou rouvre ses portes aux visiteurs.

Drawing from that volume’s more than forty outstanding chapters, extensive references, including from conferences of the International Water History Association and from his lifelong intellectual and academic commitment to water history, Fekri Hassan has formulated the co-evolutionary theory of the historical transformations of water management that he describes in this truly remarkable essay.

Although wedding ceremonies from Eastern Europe were essentially similar, local customs varied from region to region, as well as from country to country. Ceremonies and rituals reflected concerns with longevity, fertility, prosperity and happiness. Despite inevitable changes wrought by time, globalisation and industrialisation, remnants of earlier traditions of music and dance are still preserved in Eastern European wedding ceremonies until today. Cultural treasures preserved in the sound archives of Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia provide a fascinating look view at vanishing wedding traditions and rituals in Eastern Europe.

Le thème abordé sera l'augmentation du dioxyde de carbone dans l'atmosphère qui non seulement entraîne une augmentation des températures mais également du taux d'acidité des océans. L'importance de ce phénomène et les fortes conséquences qui en découlent ont commencé à retenir l'attention des spécialistes depuis quelques années déjà. Ils craignent qu'une telle acidification entraîne une diminution de la résistance des récifs coralliens et autres mollusques présentant un squelette ou une coquille calcaire.

Tampa, Florida (USA) Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (Nasdaq:OMEX) announced today that it has confirmed the identity and location of the shipwreck site of the SS Gairsoppa nearly 4,700 meters below the surface of the North Atlantic, approximately 300 miles off the coast of Ireland in international waters. The SS Gairsoppa was a 412-foot steel-hulled British cargo ship that was torpedoed by a German U-boat in February 1941 while enlisted in the service of the United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of War Transport. Contemporary research and official documents indicate that the ship was carrying £600,000 (1941 value) or 7 Million total ounces of silver, including over 3 Million ounces of private silver bullion insured by the UK government which would make it the largest known precious metal cargo ever recovered from the sea. In 2010, the UK Government Department for Transport awarded Odyssey, through a competitive tender process, the exclusive salvage contract for the cargo of the SS Gairsoppa. Under the salvage agreement Odyssey will retain 80% of the net salved value of the silver bullion recovered under the contract. + info: http://www.shipwreck.net/pr233.php Fortress of Fortezza - Markus Scherer with Walter Dietl - 2009 - Franzensfeste - Italy “Begun under Francis I in the year 1833 – completed by Ferdinand I in the year 1838”, reads the Latin inscription over the gate of the fortress. In just five years, over 6,000 workers and soldiers built a blocking position at one of the narrowest points in the Eisack valley. It has the dimensions of a small town and, with a surface area of 20 hectares, is the largest fortification in the Alpine region. With this monumental defensive work the Habsburgs hoped to halt the advance of the revolutionary changes provoked by the French revolution. Designed by regimental engineer Franz von Scholl, it consists of three autonomous sections: the upper, middle and lower fortress levels. It has clear and simple classicist lines; it is functional and impregnable. As the military threat did not materialize in the decades following its construction, however, the fortress rapidly lost its importance. By the end of the 19th century it was merely used as a powder depot. In 1918 Franzensfeste came under Italian rule and was used by the army until 2003. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/168769/fortress-of-fortezza-markus-scherer-with-walter-dietl/ The National Maritime Museum Reopens After Refurbishment - Amsterdam - The Netherlands Het Scheepvaartmuseum, the National Maritime Museum, is open again!

The couple met Mies van der Rohe in Berlin in 1927, and was already impressed by his design for the Zehlendorf house of Edward Fuchs. As fans of spacious homes with simple forms, Mies’ free plan method was perfect for the Tugendhats’ taste; however, he was not their only interest in an architect for their own home. They originally confronted Brno’s foremost modern architect at the time, Arnost Wiesner, but after visiting various projects by each architect, the Tugendhats ultimately went with Mies. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/157555/ad-classics-villa-tugendhat-mies-van-der-rohe/ AD Classics: Armenian Opera Theater - Alexander Tamanian - 1930-1953 - Yerevan - Armenia Opened in 1933 and completed in its current state in 1953, the Armenian Opera Theater was designed by Armenian architect Alexander Tamanian.

Though not his most famous work, the church is an example of the architect’s inventive work at a different scale. Utzon designed the church with an unassuming exterior that merely hints at the stirring forms he created inside.The Bagsværd Church was Utzon’s first work after returning to Denmark from Austrailia and the Sydney Opera House, which he designed. It is located on the northern outskirts of Copenhagen in a suburban setting.

The house was appropriately built less than 30 miles away from Disney World’s “Land of Tomorrow” Epcot Center and the two were opened only a few months apart. The Xanadu House Project consisted of three show homes throughout the United States; the other two were constructed in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The point of the homes was to show the general public that this innovative structure could provide a low cost modern home that could be built quickly and easily. The Kissimmee House was the most popular, partially because of its size but also because of its prime location. At its high point the house was attracting 1000 visitors per day. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/156292/ AD Classics: Yale Center for British Art - Louis Kahn - 1974 - New Haven Connecticut - USA Across the street from Louis Kahn’s first significant piece of architecture stands his last. The Yale Center for British Art was completed in 1974, the year of Kahn’s death and 23 years after its neighbor, The Yale University Art Gallery was finished. A style and theoretical change throughout a career is visible in one scene. Unlike most galleries, the design prompt for the Yale’s British Art Gallery called for very specific needs. Being part of an educational institution the agenda called for several learning oriented spaces. The program consisted of stipulations for exhibition space and storage space for paintings, sculpture, drawings and prints; a rare book collection; a research library; a photograph archive; an auditorium; classrooms; workshops and offices; and conservation facilities. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/159193/ AD Classics: David S. Ingalls Skating Rink - Eero Saarinen - 1958 - New Haven Connecticut - USA Built in 1958, the David S Ingalls Skating Rink is characterized by a sweeping domed roof, was designed by Yale graduate Eero Saarinen and is lovingly known as the Yale whale. This hockey rink contains a span 200 feet long by 85 feet wide and does so with a natural sense of flow and polish. Though the rink is seemingly heavy and brutal it is truly a tensile structure. The main structure comes from a 290 foot long central arched backbone of reinforced concrete. From this central support the timber roof is “hung” on a cable net structure which gives it the signature double curve. Further cables running from the central arch to the outer edges of the building help stabilize the structure against wind loads. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/157708/ AD Classics: Cosmic Rays Pavilion - Felix Candela - 1951 - Mexico City - Mexico The Cosmic Rays Pavilion represents one of the first experiments with parabolic structures.

The building houses the Dead Sea Scrolls, discovered between 1947 and 1956 in and around the Wadi Qurman. The building was the result of an elaborate seven-year planning process funded by the family of David Samuel Gottesman, a Hungarian philanthropist who purchased the scrolls as a gift to the newly founded state of Israel. One architect, American philanthropist-cum-designer Armand Phillip Bartos, was chosed because he was married to Gottesman’s daughter. The other appointed architect, Frederick John Kiesler, had previously recieved funding from Gottesman to install the “Endless house” at the Museum of Modern Art. The architectural team also included the well-connected Gezer Heller, brother-in-law to Ibbi Hammer, future chief banker for the State of Israel and daughter of the Chief Rabbi of Budapest.

One of its most notable contributors was organic aficionado Bruce Goff. Goff came to popularity in the 1940’s as both instructor and practitioner of his eclectic brand of architecture. Goff’s 1950′s Bavinger House is seen by many as the crowning achievement of his extensive body of work. The Bavinger House put a new twist on the naturalist modernism of Goff’s contemporaries. Where Wright used flat planes and conventional floor plans, Goff introduced distinctive floor plans, mixing materiality with eccentric spaces to produce a desired effect. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/171574/ AD Classics: Koshino House - Tadao Ando - 1980-1984 - Ashiya - Hyogo - Japan Tadao Ando’s design for the Koshino House features two parallel concrete rectangular confines. The forms are partially buried into the sloping ground of a national park and become a compositional addition to the landscape. Placed carefully as to not disrupt the pre-existing trees on the site, the structure responds to the adjacent ecosystem while the concrete forms address a more general nature through a playful manipulation of light. More about the Koshino House after the break. The northern volume consists of a two-storey height containing a double height living room, a kitchen and a dining room on the first floor with the master bedroom and a study on the second floor. The southern mass then consists of six linearly organized children’s bedrooms, a bathroom and a lobby. Connecting the two spaces is a below grade tunnel that lies beneath the exterior stairs of the courtyard. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/161522/ Pablo Serrano Museum extension - José Manuel Pérez Latorre - 2011 - Zaragoza - Spain Wojtek Gurak, a friend of ArchDaily and photographer, recently shared with us his photographs of the Pablo Serrano Museum in Zaragoza, Spain.

The museum’s former home on 53rd Street opened in 2001 after a renovation by Billie Tsien and Tod Williams. To finance the construction, the museum borrowed $32 million by issuing bonds through the city’s Trust for Cultural Resources, a public benefit corporation that helps cultural institutions borrow money for capital projects. The payments on the bonds were significant, about $3 million a year, and in 2009, the museum defaulted on the debt. http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/23_2011.html (3 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:04:57] Patrimonio Moderno y Contemporáneo Despite early optimism, the American Folk Art Museum’s renovation project did not raise attendance or donations to the levels needed. Last year, as it ran a nearly $4 million deficit, the museum raised just $3.3 million from donors. As we reported in May, the museum was forced to sell its building on West 53rd Street to the Museum of Modern Art to pay off the debt. Before opening, consultants predicted the building would draw 255,000 visitors a year by 2005.

Designed by Tan Cheng Siong of Archurban Architects & Planners, Pearl Bank served as a beacon of contemporary residential design and acted as precedent to the subsequent highdensity urban development in Singapore and throughout southeast Asia. Organizationally, the parti of the Pearl Bank Apartments is a ¾ cylindrical tower enveloping a west-facing interior courtyard on the lower level. Not only did this orientation minimize solar heat gain from the afternoon sun, it also was vital to capturing the magnificent views afforded at the top of Pearl’s Hill. The cylindrical shape of the tower suggested various structural methods, including the ten arrayed shear walls whose mass serve as physical and acoustic separation between adjacent units. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/157679/ AD Classics: Rothko Chapel - Philip Johnson, Howard Barnstone, Eugene Aubry and Mark Rothko - 1971 - Houston - Texas - USA In 1964 Mark Rothko was commissioned by John and Dominique de Menil (who are also founders of the nearby Menil Collection that is housed in the Renzo Piano-designed Menil Museum and Cy Twombly Gallery) to create a meditative space filled with his site-specific paintings. The original architect assigned to work alongside Rothko was Philip Johnson, with whom Rothko clashed over their distinct ideas for the building. Rothko would object to the monumentality of Johnson’s plan as distracting from the artwork it was to house. For this reason the Chapel would go through several revisions and architects working on the meditative space. Rothko continued first with Howard Barnstone and then Eugene Aubry, but ultimately did not live to see the chapel’s completion in 1971.

The IMA was produced through collaboration with the countries of the Arab League and the French government. Upon its completion in 1987, it quickly became a popular destination for the local populace as well as tourists. More details after the break. One of the main reasons behind the construction of this institute was to create a destination devoted to the relationship of the Arab culture with France. Located at the threshold of the historical peripheries of Paris along the River Seine, it responds to its immediate context both in plan and elevation.

El secreto de su construcción se basa en que la mayoría de su peso descansa sobre un eje central de concreto y acero que estructura cada una de ellas, mientras que la parte 'inclinada' de cada una de las torres es mucho más ligera. + info: http://sistemasestructuralesii.blogspot.com/2011/04/analisis-estructural-torres-kio-madrid.html Torre Blancas - Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza - 1969 - Madrid - España Les presentamos una selección de fotos de Flickr del edificio Torres Blancas en Madrid. Un edificio al que se ha calificado como ‘obra maestra del organicismo’, y según la Wikipedia, Saénz de Oiza en este proyecto aunó en una síntesis personal a Le Corbusier y Frank Lloyd Wright. De Le Corbusier, la idea de viviendas con jardín en altura, como en los Inmuebles Villa, y de Wright, el esquema de la planta de la torre Price – pero con una forma totalmente distinta. El edificio Torres Blancas es una de las buenas obras de Saenz de Oiza, y no sólo un experimento de vivienda como los que abundaban en los ’60, lo que se demuestra con una prueba irrefutable: el arquitecto vivió ahí hasta su muerte. + info: http://www.plataformaarquitectura.cl/2009/03/26/torres-blancas-francisco-javier-saenz-de-oiza/ Leazar Hall Renovation & Additions - Cannon Architects - 2007 - Raleigh - North Carolina - USA http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/23_2011.html (5 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:04:57] Patrimonio Moderno y Contemporáneo This 62,000 sqf renovation and addition project is the first phase of an overall master plan for NC State University’s College of Design. Leazar Hall, originally a Dining Hall (Circa 1912), had been subdivided over the years into a maze of office and classroom spaces. This project restores the three level (plus mezzanine) building into a single use building for studios, seminar / review rooms, materials lab, and faculty offices. The project consisted of totally gutting the interior of the building, including all engineering systems. Interior spaces were opened up to create the program requirements for studios, materials lab (woodworking, metal, welding, finishing booths, CNC machines, etc.) seminar rooms, review spaces, and offices. The north-south and east-west axes were opened up, creating circulation zones and review spaces. New systems for plumbing, mechanical, fire protection and electrical were added within the existing framework. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/173512 Puente Bac de Roda - Santiago Calatrava - 1992 - Barcelona - Cataluña (España) El Puente Bac de Roda está situado en el barrio de Sant Marti y comunica las calles Bac de Roda y Felipe II, permitiendo el paso de automóviles y viandantes por encima del ferrocarril.

Designed in 1963 for the London County Council and completed in 1967 by the Greater London Council, this social housing estate broke the traditions of typical residential architecture. Conceived as a solution to sprawling suburbia, Goldfinger embraced verticality as the cure. More details after the break. Rising to 84 meters in height, the Balfron Tower dwarfs its immediate neighbors – the Carradale House, and the Glenkerry House – all forming part of the Brownfield Estates also designed by Goldfinger. In a drastic shift from the typical preconception of tower architecture, Goldfinger separated the services from the accommodation by splitting the tower in two. Entry is gained via a concrete bridge that opens into the main lobby of the slender service tower. The internal core houses the lifts and staircases, in addition to the utility functions such as laundry, and waste disposal chutes. A pattern of thin windows breaks up the monolithic concrete exterior and provides ample daylighting into the interior. A boiler room located at the top of the service tower cantilevers out slightly from the main façade. This served to reduce the need for pumps as water could flow down to the flats by gravity. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/160672/ AD Interviews: Steven Holl - Museum of Ocean and Surf - Biarritz - France A preview of the interview we did with Steven Holl.

The museum’s former home on 53rd Street opened in 2001 after a renovation by Billie Tsien and Tod Williams. To finance the construction, the museum borrowed $32 million by issuing bonds through the city’s Trust for Cultural Resources, a public benefit corporation that helps cultural institutions borrow money for capital projects. The payments on the bonds were significant, about $3 million a year, and in 2009, the museum defaulted on the debt. Despite early optimism, the American Folk Art Museum’s renovation project did not raise attendance or donations to the levels needed. Last year, as it ran a nearly $4 million deficit, the museum raised just $3.3 million from donors. As we reported in May, the museum was forced to sell its building on West 53rd Street to the Museum of Modern Art to pay off the debt. Before opening, consultants predicted the building would draw 255,000 visitors a year by 2005. In 2011, the museum only attracted the equivalent of 160,000 per year. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/171620/ Emiezan los trabajos de restauración del mural de Joan Miró del Museo Ultrich de Wichita.

Although wedding ceremonies from Eastern Europe were essentially similar, local customs varied from region to region, as well as from country to country. Ceremonies and rituals reflected concerns with longevity, fertility, prosperity and happiness. Despite inevitable changes wrought by time, globalisation and industrialisation, remnants of earlier traditions of music and dance are still preserved in Eastern European wedding ceremonies until today. Cultural treasures preserved in the sound archives of Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Slovenia provide a fascinating look view at vanishing wedding traditions and rituals in Eastern Europe.

The multi-year project reinvigorates the original design of the historic building, which includes the 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall and an array of period rooms by some of the most innovative designers of the 19th century, while advancing the Armory’s mission, dedicated to the creation and presentation of visual and performing art that cannot be realized within the limitations of traditional performance halls and white-wall museums. + info: http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=50933 Historic alliance opens door to Academy Museum at Los Angeles County Museum of Art - California - USA The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) have taken a step toward realizing a museum dedicated to motion pictures and the creation of a new and unique cultural center for the city of Los Angeles. On Tuesday night (10/4), the Academy’s Board of Governors joined their LACMA counterparts in agreeing to sign a memorandum of understanding to work in good faith in establishing the Academy’s movie museum in the historic May Company building, currently known as LACMA West. The memo paves the way for the two organizations to discuss details of a future contract and for the Academy to begin developing plans for fundraising, design, exhibitions, visitor experience, and modifications to this historic site. + info: http://www.lacma.org/sites/default/files/LACMA.AMPAS%20announcement%2010.4.11.pdf Agenda EXHIBITION - Shakespeare Staging the World - The British Museum 19 julio 2011 - 25 noviembre 2012 London.

It also plays an essential role in the development of a museum and its programmes as it is closely linked with other activities, such as research, consultation, exhibitions, conservation and loans. The storage area guarantees the preservation of and accessibility to the collection, and as a result the proper care and management of collections in storage is an important challenge for museums if they are to maintain their roles as centres of knowledge, research and inspiration. + info: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0018/001879/187931e.pdf MUSEUM International Goes Mobile! iPhone Application Now Available !

Emergency responders have used just such a supercharged structure for years: the Incident Command System (ICS). Since its development in the early 1970s the ICS has been used to tackle a vast array of incidents, including fires, floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes. The system has demonstrated that it can scale up to handle disasters that mushroom over large areas and even multiple states. But the ICS was designed to scale down as well as up. Few practitioners have addressed the question of how to use the ICS to manage an emergency within a single institution—until now. + info: http://www.rescuingrecords.com/ics.html Museos e inclusión Social ICOM España / Revista digital Acaba de publicarse el segundo número de ICOM CE Digital, "Museos e Inclusión social" Coordinado por Pedro Lavado, y con la participación de 14 museos, se ha publicado el segundo número de la revista digital del Comité Español de ICOM, que en esta ocasión está dedicado a la accesibilidad en los museos españoles. + info: http://issuu.com/icom-ce_librovirtual/docs/icomcedigital02 Protección del patrimonio cultural: seguridad en los museos Editor: Anna Paolini Asistente editorial: Malda Jabbour, Lise Macdonald Texto: Adalberto Biasiotti Dibujos: Beatrice Beccaro Migliorati Este Manual muestra de manera didáctica, con profusión de imágenes sencillas y textos puntuales, las diversas situaciones y riesgos de distinta naturaleza que deben evitarse dentro del museo y sus exposiciones, a efectos de la protección del patrimonio expuesto. + info: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0014/001484/148462s.pdf Documentation of Artefacts' Collections: Cultural Heritage Protection Handbook Series 3 Editor: Anna Paolini Editorial assistants: Malda Jabbour, Lise Macdonald Text by: Matthew Stiff Drawings by: Beatrice Beccaro Migliorati This booklet is intended for all who collect and are fond of items of social, artistic and/or historical significance, as well as those in charge of public or private collections of such items.

There has been a clear temperature rise of 0.056 °C y-1 in the Antarctic Peninsula and this has led to changes in higher plant extent and range. In the more extreme environments of the main continent the vegetation is scattered and composed of lichens and mosses. There is interest in the possible effects of global climate change on these communities acting through changes in temperature and precipitation. Lichens have been extensively used to date the substrates on which they are growing using the techniques of lichenometry. The slow growth and longevity of lichens particularly suites them for this use. We present evidence that http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/26_2011.html (1 de 6) [14/10/2011 20:05:16] Patrimonio Natural y Medio ambiente there appears to be a substantial (two orders of magnitude) cline in lichen growth rate from the warmer, wetter and more productive Peninsula to the cold Dry Valleys at 77°S latitude. The differences in growth rate reflect the precipitation and temperature regimes at the different sites. The large range in growth rates coupled with the simplicity of measuring lichen growth using modern techniques suggests that this could be an excellent tool for the detection of climate change in continental Antarctica. © 2007 Elsevier GmbH.

Chemical ozone destruction occurs over both polar regions in local winter–spring. In the Antarctic, essentially complete removal of lower-stratospheric ozone currently results in an ozone hole every year, whereas in the Arctic, ozone loss is highly variable and has until now been much more limited. Here we demonstrate that chemical ozone destruction over the Arctic in early 2011 was—for the first time in the observational record—comparable to that in the Antarctic ozone hole. Unusually long-lasting cold conditions in the Arctic lower stratosphere led to persistent enhancement in ozone-destroying forms of chlorine and to unprecedented ozone loss, which exceeded 80 per cent over 18–20 kilometres altitude. Our results show that Arctic ozone holes are possible even with temperatures much milder than those in the Antarctic. We cannot at present predict when such severe Arctic ozone depletion may be matched or exceeded. + info: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nature10556.html Conference vidéo - La contribution autochtone au respect de l'environnement ? - Université populaire du Quai Branly - Paris - FRance (30 septembre 2008) La contribution autochtone au respect de l'environnement ? - Philippe Laburthe-Tolra - Jean-Christophe Victor + info: http://www.quaibranly.fr/fr/programmation/l-universite-populaire-du-quai-branly/rechercher-une-conferencepassee/fiche-conference.html?tx_gayamqbunivpop_pi1%5Bid_fiche%5D=48 O Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) divulga dados consolidados do PRODES ( Projeto de Monitoramento do Desflorestamento na Amazônia Legal ) 2010 - Brazil O Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) concluiu o mapeamento e o cálculo da taxa de desmatamento na Amazônia Legal para o período de agosto de 2009 a julho de 2010.

As one of few 1930s steel houses of its type still standing nationwide, though, the prefabricated cottage holds a pedigree on par with many better-known architectural jewels — and now it's getting its chance to shine again. + info: http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=50695 Frank Lloyd Wright's Historic Park Inn Restored - Mason City - Iowa - USA The restoration of The Historic Park Inn Hotel marks the culmination of efforts begun in the 1970’s. The property was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972 and various attempts at renovation were made over the years. The $18.5 million restoration has restored the building to its 1910 appearance and into a 27-room boutique hotel. Public spaces in the hotel have also been restored, with period appropriate furnishings throughout the hotel. The Historic Park Inn Hotel is a perfect example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie School design and the only commercial structure in the state of Iowa. + info: http://wrightonthepark.org/restoration/ Fortress of Fortezza - Markus Scherer with Walter Dietl - 2009 - Franzensfeste - Italy “Begun under Francis I in the year 1833 – completed by Ferdinand I in the year 1838”, reads the Latin inscription over the gate of the fortress. In just five years, over 6,000 workers and soldiers built a blocking position at one of the narrowest points in the Eisack valley. It has the dimensions of a small town and, with a surface area of 20 hectares, is the largest fortification in the Alpine region. With this monumental defensive work the Habsburgs hoped to halt the advance of the revolutionary changes provoked by the French revolution. Designed by regimental engineer Franz von Scholl, it consists of three autonomous sections: the upper, middle and lower fortress levels. It has clear and simple classicist lines; it is functional and impregnable. As the military threat did not materialize in the decades following its construction, however, the fortress rapidly lost its importance. By the end of the 19th century it was merely used as a powder depot. In 1918 Franzensfeste came under Italian rule and was used by the army until 2003. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/168769/fortress-of-fortezza-markus-scherer-with-walter-dietl/ Harbor Brain Building - C+S Associati - 2011 - Venice - Italy HBB architectural design intercepts the atmosphere of the Venice Arsenale: a sequence of void spaces temporararily occupied by objects (the ships) which had to be built, repaired or were simply housed.The program for the building is that to become the harbour station housing the computers which control the http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/28_2011.html (2 de 4) [14/10/2011 20:05:19] Restauración y técnicas de conservación seaport trafic at the new Venice openings following the atcuation of the MOSE project, a kind of brain to manage the trafic, exactly what we called the HBB.

Porobic Associates - Wellingborough - England We were commissioned by the Borough Council of Wellingborough to remodel, extend and refurbish Grade ll listed building at 28 Church Street, Wellingborough. The brief was to bring back to life very dilapidated building and set the quality level for the rest of forthcoming development. This small building, set in the heart of Conservation Area, was meant to act as a catalyst for the Urban renewal of the town centre. The building was originally part of church assembly buildings formed around All Hallows Church, Grade l listed building dating from 12th century. The building itself is from 16th century but majority of the edifice is from the early 19th century. At rear and the west, the site was defined by low quality 20th century extension and extensive overgrown landscaping. To the east the site was separated from the church by high walls and high shrubs. The last use of the building was storage for the local theatre company. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/171797/ Leazar Hall Renovation & Additions - Cannon Architects - 2007 - Raleigh - North Carolina - USA This 62,000 sqf renovation and addition project is the first phase of an overall master plan for NC State University’s College of Design. Leazar Hall, originally a Dining Hall (Circa 1912), had been subdivided over the years into a maze of office and classroom spaces. This project restores the three level (plus mezzanine) building into a single use building for studios, seminar / review rooms, materials lab, and faculty offices. The project consisted of totally gutting the interior of the building, including all engineering systems. Interior spaces were opened up to create the program requirements for studios, materials lab (woodworking, metal, welding, finishing booths, CNC machines, etc.) seminar rooms, review spaces, and offices. The north-south and east-west axes were opened up, creating circulation zones and review spaces. New systems for plumbing, mechanical, fire protection and electrical were added within the existing framework. + info: http://www.archdaily.com/173512 Save Ellis Island works to preserve buildings - New Jersey - USA Save Ellis Island is the National Park Service fundraising and programmatic non-profit partner for the rehabilitation of the twenty-nine remaining buildings on Ellis Island, with the mission and mandate to raise the funds necessary to create and sustain, within these buildings, the Ellis Island Institute and Conference Center. + info: http://www.saveellisisland.org/site/PageServer? pagename=about_us La « Sainte Anne » de Vinci menacée - Musée du Louvre - Paris - France Quelle main serait assez délicate pour toucher sans l’abîmer un des chefs-d’œuvre absolu de la peinture http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/28_2011.html (3 de 4) [14/10/2011 20:05:19] Restauración y técnicas de conservación occidentale ?

(Nasdaq:OMEX) announced today that it has confirmed the identity and location of the shipwreck site of the SS Gairsoppa nearly 4,700 meters below the surface of the North Atlantic, approximately 300 miles off the coast of Ireland in international waters. The SS Gairsoppa was a 412-foot steel-hulled British cargo ship that was torpedoed by a German U-boat in February 1941 while enlisted in the service of the United Kingdom (UK) Ministry of War Transport. Contemporary research and official documents indicate that the ship was carrying £600,000 (1941 value) or 7 Million total ounces of silver, including over 3 Million ounces of private silver bullion insured by the UK government which would make it the largest known precious metal cargo ever recovered from the sea. In 2010, the UK Government Department for Transport awarded Odyssey, through a competitive tender process, the exclusive salvage contract for the cargo of the SS Gairsoppa. Under the salvage agreement Odyssey will retain 80% of the net salved value of the silver bullion recovered under the contract. + info: http://www.shipwreck.net/pr233.php EL PATRIMONIO CULTURAL SUBACUATICO: LEGADO PARA LA HUMANIDAD la efectiva protección del patrimonio cultural sólo se puede lograr a través de la cooperación a nivel nacional e internacional. para poder impedir el saqueo del patrimonio subacuático y su consecuente introducción en el tráfico ilícito de bienes culturales se trabaja conjuntamente con instituciones como las marinas nacionales, las autoridades portuarias, las aduanas, los institutos de estudios marinos, los centros de conservación de material arqueológico y los museos, así como también las entidades relacionadas con el buceo recreativo, que están en permanente contacto con el mundo sumergido y pueden ser los mejores aliados para su protección. el patrimonio cultural subacuático nos pertenece a todos y debemos preservarlo para las generaciones futuras. + info: http://www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/FIELD/Havana/pdf/ http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/31_2011.html (1 de 2) [14/10/2011 20:05:24] Patrimonio Subacuático.

Important personalities who could be said to be the progenitors of the book along with Mayor Eva Marie S. Medina were on hand at the coming out of the book. Dr. Richard Engelhardt and Engr. Ricardo Favis of UNESCO flew in from Bangkok, Thailand for the launching which coincided also with the UNESCO National Workshop of World Heritage Site Managers. Each participant was given a copy of the book which will serve to guide them in their own heritage conservation work. Architect Fatima Rabang, Dean Maryrose Rabang and Dr. Gilbert Arce represented the University of Northern Philippines (UNP). The United Architects Association of the Philippines (UAAP) was also well represented. + info: http://www.vigancity.gov.ph/news.asp?nid=48 http://www.unescobkk.org/culture/resources/publications-andmultimedia/ Incorporating Education for Sustainable Development into World Heritage Education: A Teacher's Guide © UNESCO 2010 / All rights reserved http://universidadypatrimonio.net/esp/noticias/newsletter_72/34_2011.html (6 de 7) [14/10/2011 20:05:31] Patrimonio mundial ISBN 978-92-9223-337-2 (Print Version) ISBN 978-92-9223-338-9 (Electronic version) Using the World Heritage Education Resource Kit as a key reference, the modules successfully incorporate ESD concepts into World Heritage Education and vice versa.
