International Mother Language Day celebrates linguistic and cultural diversity
alongside multilingualism as a force for peace and sustainable development,
United Nations officials said today, marking the commemoration by calling on
countries to promote and protect local languages, “which are keys to global
citizenship and authentic mutual understanding.”
“Recognizing local languages enables more people to make their voices heard
and take an active part in their collective fate,” said Irina Bokova, DirectorGeneral of the UN Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (UNESCO),
which in its work promotes the harmonious coexistence of the 7,000 languages
spoken worldwide.
The International Day was proclaimed by the UNESCO General Conference
in 1999. In 2007, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution calling on
Member States “to promote the preservation and protection of all languages
used by peoples of the world”. By the same text, the Assembly proclaimed 2008
as the International Year of Languages, to promote unity in diversity and international understanding,
through multilingualism and multiculturalism.
The 2014 International Day, on the theme “Local languages
for global citizenship: spotlight on science”, shows how languages ensure access to knowledge, its transmission and its
plurality. “Contrary to popular wisdom, local languages are
perfectly capable of transmitting the most modern scientific
knowledge in mathematics, physics, technology, and so on,”
said Ms. Bokova in her message.
“Recognizing these languages also means opening the door
to a great deal of often overlooked traditional scientific
knowledge to enrich our overall knowledge base,” she continued, adding that local languages constitute the majority of
languages spoken worldwide in the field of science. They are
also the most endangered.
“Excluding languages means excluding those who speak them from their fundamental human right to
scientific knowledge,” Ms. Bokova said, stressing that in today’s “global village” the norm is to use at
least three languages, including one local language, one language of wider communication and one
international language to communicate at both the local and global levels.
“This linguistic and cultural diversity may be our best chance for the future: for creativity, innovation
and inclusion. We must not squander it,” she declared.
In his message, Secretary-General Ban ki-moon said the theme of the International Day will help
ensure that the latest scientific knowledge is more widely shared. “At the same time, it will help
deepen and enrich our global knowledge base with more traditional but often overlooked scientific
wisdom,” he added.
“Let us all join forces to promote linguistic diversity and multilingualism as a key element in our efforts
to build a better world and a life of dignity for all,” the UN chief said, adding that language diversity
can encourage dialogue, mutual understanding, innovation and creativity. This in turn can help us
build more just and inclusive societies.
Quoting the late South African leader Nelson Mandela, he said: ‘If you talk to a man in a language he
understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language – that goes to his heart.’

Conservation Research Scientist for Yale Art Conservation Research Center (USA)
In its continuing effort to support the conservation of cultural property through scientific research and innovation, the Art Conservation
Research Center (ACRC), a part of the Center for Conservation and Preservation at Yale’s West Campus, seeks a full-time scientist to perform
research into the effects of light on museum, library, and archival materials. The research will primarily involve the use and further development
of the micro-fading technique pioneered at the ACRC. The development would include evaluating the limitations of the technique and
establishing protocols for its application to photographic print materials and manuscript inks. Other investigations would explore the chemistry
of light-induced color changes and the dark chemistry of light-sensitive residues in photographic prints. These investigations could become
collaborations with other scientists at Yale, other universities, and museum laboratories. In addition to this laboratory research, this position
will utilize the micro-fading tester to provide diagnostic services, examining Yale collection objects for their vulnerability to light damage. This
position reports to the Director of the Art Conservation Research Center.

Open-access journal PLoS One: Climate change seen behind ancient civilizations' fall
A cold, dry spell that lasted hundreds of years may have driven the collapse of Eastern Mediterranean civilizations in
the 13th century BC, researchers in France said Wednesday. In the Late Bronze Age, powerful kingdoms spanned
lands that are now Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, Syria,
Turkey, Israel and the Palestinian territories, but they collapsed
suddenly around 1200 BC. Archeologists have long debated the reasons behind their fall, often citing economic
factors.

The word “nothing” is the informal term that we use to refer to the absence of content of a container or place. For

everything is in the habit of being sustained almost acts. The desert is always a challenge for the architecture and

Archaeologists discover a major church with a splendid mosaic from the Byzantine period - Israel
Israeli archaeologists excavate a 1500-year-old floor mosaic depicting the resurrection of Jesus Christ, in a newlydiscovered church dating back to the Byzantine era, in the village of Aluma in southern Israel on January 22, 2014.
Experts say the Christogram deliberately excluded human depiction of Jesus because of its position on the floor
where worshippers would tread.

Proto-Aeolic Capital Associated with Judah’s Longest Spring Tunnel - Israel
The capital is part of an undoubtedly important archaeological site just over five miles from
Jerusalem’s City of David and four miles from Bethlehem. The find itself—a one-of-a-kind protoaeolic capital still attached to its base—is a rare-yet-iconic First Temple period type. The
iconography is familiar in Israel; proto-aeolic designs are etched on modern Israeli five-shekel coins.
The capital is associated with a 525-foot-long tunnel system, the largest and most impressively
hewn spring tunnel in the region of Jerusalem. This labor required to carve such a system opens
new questions regarding the Judahite administration and agriculture around Jerusalem.

The Ancient Egyptian Economy
The economy of pharaonic Egypt has been called an ancient command economy, but one should always remember
that such modern definitions are not as apt as one would hope for. Still, there was a specialized bureaucracy which
monitored or controlled much of its activity, one of
the hallmarks of planned economies.

Ancient Elis - Greece
Ancient Elis, the largest city and capital of the homonymous city-state, was built on the north banks of the Peneus
River, between the mountainous part of Elis (Akroreia) and its coastal lowlands (Elis Koile). The site was inhabited
almost continuously from the beginning of the Middle Palaeolithic (130/120,000) until the end of the Early Byzantine
period (seventh century AD), when the city was abandoned. Aetolos Oxylos is considered the city's mythical founder
(twelfth-eleventh centuries BC). He allegedly took advantage of the Dorian invasion in order to subordinate the area's
early inhabitants and founded the first settlement. The city thrived in the early historical period (eleventh-tenth
centuries BC), during the late Archaic and early Classical periods (sixth-fifth centuries BC), and in the Early Roman period (second century BC
- early third century AD).

Une vitrine particulière pour conserver les momies - Italie
Après des siècles passés en sécurité dans leurs tombes, un ennemi invisible attend les momies quand elles sont exposées
dans les musées : les champignons et les bactéries, qui sont capables de les décomposer rapidement hors de
l'environnement dans lequel elles ont été maintenues pendant des années. Aujourd'hui, cependant, les chercheurs de
l'Istituto per le Mummie e l'Iceman dell'Eurac à Bolzano ont trouvé et breveté une solution. Il s'agit d'une vitrine étanche,
scellée par une base organique qui repousse les micro-organismes et défend les momies de l'humidité et de l'oxydation.

Archaeological Pavilion / kadawittfeldarchitektur - 2013 - Aachen-- Germany
From the architect. In the heart of Aachen, within view of its famed cathedral, is the city’s most beloved innercity
park, the Elisen Garden. During extensive archeological excavations amazing discoveries were made: spanning from
the Neolithic period (4700 BC) to the high and late
Middle Ages (ca. 910-1500) there is evidence of all essential
periods of the history of settlement in Aachen from the birth of Christ to the present.

Designing for Luxury on the Bay of Naples. Villas and Landscapes (c. 100 BCE - 79 CE)
By Mantha Zarmakoupi
ISBN: 9780199678389
Oxford Studies in Ancient Culture & Representation
Year: 2014
This study explores Roman luxury villa architecture and the Roman luxury villa lifestyle to shed light on the villas' design as a
dynamic process related to cultural, social, and environmental factors. Roman villas expressed a novel architectural language
which was developed by designers appropriating the existing stylistic and thematic vocabularies of Hellenistic and Roman architecture.
Zarmakoupi seeks to describe and explain the ways in which this architecture accommodated the lifestyle of educated leisure and an
appreciation of the Roman landscape, and how, in doing so, it became a cultural phenomenon and a crucial element in the construction of
Roman cultural identity…

Music, Language, and Human Evolution
Edited by Nicholas Bannan
ISBN: 9780199227341
Year: 2012
Why do human beings make music? No human society has ever existed without music, and people all around the world commit
considerable resources, including time, effort, and ingenuity, to musical participation and consumption. Yet until recently
archaeology has had little to say about the possible role of music in human evolution. This book examines the potential role of
musicality in human evolution and its consequences for human culture. Drawing on a growing body of research in archaeology, anthropology,
psychology, and musicology, it illustrates the inter-disciplinary necessity of accounting for the phenomenon of human music-making.

Painted Caves - Palaeolithic Rock Art in Western Europe
By Andrew J. Lawson
ISBN: 9780199698226
Year: 2012
Painted Caves, a beautifully illustrated introduction to the oldest art of Western Europe, charts the historical background to the
acceptance of a Palaeolithic age for the very ancient paintings found in caves. Offering an up-to-date overview of the
geographical distribution of the sites found in southern France and the Iberian Peninsula, and examples known in Britain, Italy,
Romania, and Russia, Lawson's expert study is not restricted to the art in caves, but places this art alongside the engravings and sculptures
found both on portable objects and on rock faces in the open air.
Written from an archaeological perspective, the volume stresses how the individual images cannot be considered in isolation, but should rather
be related to their location and other evidence that might provide clues to their significance. Although many scholars have put forward ideas as
to the meaning and function of the art, Lawson discusses some of the substantive theories and offers glimpses of his own experience in the
field and enduring fascination for the subject…

Dilemas y realidades de la gestión turística del patrimonio arqueológico en Guatemala
Por Laura Velásquez Fergusson
Artículo publicado en la Revista Estudios Digital, núm. 1
Year: 2013
Importantes hallazgos sobre la civilización maya producidos durante las investigaciones multidisciplinarias que se llevan a cabo en los sitios
arqueológicos de Guatemala, han contribuido a la difusión a nivel nacional e internacional de este patrimonio que, junto al contexto natural y la
riqueza socio-cultural local actual, constituye un atractivo con gran potencial para su gestión turística. Aunque continúa discutiéndose acerca
del impacto que puede provocar el turismo sobre el patrimonio cultural en general y la población adyacente, es innegable que hoy en día se ha
posicionado como una de las actividades económicas más relevantes en el mundo, por lo que debe aprovecharse como un mecanismo para la
puesta en valor (investigación, conservación y difusión) de esta riqueza histórica, cuya finalidad primordial es la de establecer un vínculo entre
el pasado y el presente, permitiéndole a los miembros de una sociedad comprender sus orígenes y construir una identidad.

Patrimonio arqueológico y turismo alternativo: la situación de El Mirador y otros sitios arqueológicos en Guatemala
Ponencia presentada en "XXI Encuentro Arqueológico del Área Maya"
Year: 2013
Actualmente, el elemento cultural ha cobrado un extraordinario auge en la industria turística, enfocado principalmente en el contacto directo
con las sociedades actuales y el patrimonio derivado de su historia. Guatemala es parte de ello gracias a cuatro destinos considerados ya
tradicionales, no obstante, la riqueza cultural del país es mayor a la que se reconoce, desde lo prehispánico y colonial hasta lo republicano y
contemporáneo, constituyendo un vasto y diverso patrimonio arqueológico, cuya adecuada gestión permitiría complementar la oferta turística a
la vez que incidiría en su puesta en valor, tal es el caso particular de los sitios en la Cuenca Mirador y otros que están en la misma situación.

The Lion in West Africa Is Critically Endangered
Henschel P, Coad L, Burton C, Chataigner B, Dunn A, et al. (2014)
The African lion has declined to <35,000 individuals occupying 25% of its historic range. The situation is most
critical for the geographically isolated populations in West Africa, where the species is considered regionally
endangered. Elevating their conservation significance, recent molecular studies establish the genetic distinctiveness
of West and Central African lions from other extant African populations. Interventions to save West African lions are
urgently required. However formulating effective conservation strategies has been hampered by a lack of data on the
species' current distribution, status, and potential management deficiencies of protected areas (PAs) harboring lions. Our study synthesized
available expert opinion and field data to close this knowledge gap, and formulate recommendations for the conservation of West African
lions…

Bat populations recovering, according to largest ever European study
The EEA report on bats is the most comprehensive study yet made of European bat population trends, studying 16 of the 45 bat
species found across the continent. The study is the first to compile data from ten existing monitoring schemes in nine countries,
building a prototype European-scale indicator of bat population trends. Surveyors counted and catalogued bats hibernating at 6
000 sites in nine different countries. Overall these species appear to have increased by 43 % at hibernation sites between 1993
and 2011, with a relatively stable trend since 2003…

Vers un plan européen contre les espèces exotiques envahissantes
"L'objectif est de s'attaquer aux espèces invasives sans mettre en danger les activités des citoyens", a déclaré Pavel Poc (S&D, CZ),
rapporteur du texte européen contre les espèces exotiques envahissantes. La commission de l'environnement du Parlement européen a donné
son feu vert à ce dernier, jeudi 30 janvier, par 49 voix contre 4 et 3 abstentions.
Avec ce texte, les espèces considérées comme préoccupantes pour l'Union devront être identifiées et ne pourront plus "ni être introduites,
transportées, placées sur le marché ni offertes, conservées
et élevées ou relâchées dans l'environnement" soulignent les députés. Pour eux,
cependant, cette liste doit rester ouverte pour inclure des espèces endémiques d'un pays de l'UE qui pourraient devenir invasives dans un
autre Etat membre…

Ile-de-France : préserver la biodiversité en changeant les pratiques agricoles
Natureparif, dans son diagnostic de la biodiversité francilienne, souligne l'impact de l'agriculture

l'élevage extensif et créer des réserves.
Si l'Ile-de-France est la région la plus anthropisée de France, avec en son cœur une densité
record (8.600 hab/km2), elle reste néanmoins en grande partie rurale (79% du territoire).
Cependant, "les zones non directement affectées par les activités humaines sont inexistantes.
Des zones refuges de taille suffisante pour accueillir une biodiversité remarquable telles que celles dont sont dotées les régions montagneuses

Threats to Orangutans
In 2014, the Orangutan Conservancy believes there are approximately only 40,000 orangutans remaining in
Borneo and Sumatra. Shockingly, the number was about 60,000 as recent as a decade ago.
Many experts estimate orangutans could be extinct in the wild in less than 25 years.
As shocking as the rapid loss of rainforests has been over these past few decades, nothing compares to the
amount of land being bulldozed by palm oil plantations in the 21st century. Each palm plantation that destroys
thousands of hectares in the pursuit of massive profits also takes with it the lives of many orangutans…

Connaître ses racines est important pour soi-même, mais, aussi, pour pouvoir s’ouvrir à l’autre. Le patrimoine c’est bien sûr
l’histoire, l’architecture, la faune, la flore, la langue..., mais aussi les recettes traditionnelles, les métiers anciens, les légumes oubliés... Ses
pages sont ouvertes à tous ces patrimoines. L’Aveyron est un grand département riche de ses différents "pays", Patrimòni les fait
"communiquer".
Ce journal est un outil entre vos mains, faites-le vivre, il a besoin de vous, de vos articles, de vos informations. Ensemble prenons soin de
notre héritage afin de le transmettre aux générations futures.

form the 12th century with a hotel new build. The concept implicates the development of this historical location into
an overall modern conference and seminar centre. Our design, which was awarded the 1st prize, is an unmistakable

Should You Become a Global Architect?
Globalization has brought with it many things: the ability to travel, to recognize familiarity in any city, and, most importantly
for us, to create trans-continental opportunity in design. It has created a platform for young professionals that no other
generation has been fortunate enough to encounter at this scale. If you want to be a Global architect, to chase the awardwinning projects, to work side by side with inspiring people, to learn from them and be amongst those at the top of their
game, you have to be proactive and seek these people out; in essence, you have to be willing to be mobile.

AD Classics: 2 Columbus Circle / Edward Durell Stone & Associates - 1964 - New York City - New York State USA
Located on a small and irregular shaped island at Columbus Circle, one of the busiest intersections in Manhattan, lies
2 Columbus Circle, formerly known as the Gallery of Modern Art. Famously described as a “die-cut Venetian palazzo
on lollipops” by Ada Louise Huxtable, the New York Times architecture critic at the time, the 10-story poured concrete
structure has been a source of consistent controversy and public response since the 1960s. Designed by Edward
Durell Stone, an early proponent of American modern architecture, 2 Columbus Circle represents a turning point in his
career. Uncharacteristic of Stone’s prior work, his use of ornament on an otherwise modern structure can be seen as an important precedent of
the development of the soon-to-emerge Postmodern movement.

Publications Inheritance and identity of Cultural Heritage
Article in Advances in Literary Study
ISSN Print: 2327-4034
http://www.scirp.org/journal/ALS/
Year: 2014
Generally the community describe the “cultural heritage” such as historic, artistic, scientific and traditional. These definitions
often coincide with the attribution of “value” and “identity”. Many answers about what could be “cultural heritage” are explained
as a set together with their specific value, such as landscape and architecture of high artistic value and historic materials of scientific value. In
contrast it is not possible to rely on this generality of definitions. The reality shows that the definition of value of “cultural heritage” changes in
relation to the person, culture, geography, social and economic conditions. In other words, in relation to the person, the standpoint of value of
“cultural heritage” is different according to each category, such as ruins, works of art, historic cities and gardens, and it is rare that one
category simultaneously holds many of such values…

REVISTA CIUDADES, Nº 100
México: Red de Investigación Urbana AC, 2014
ISSN 0187-8611
Year: 2014
CIUDADES es una revista trimestral monotemática y los temas se seleccionan en relación al debate que actualmente se está
desarrollando respecto al territorio y que son importantes para nuestro país (lo cual puede ser abordado en la coyuntura pero,
igualmente, de manera histórica). Estas cuestiones a veces son totalmente nacionales y muchas otras se engloban en procesos que afectan a
toda Latinoamérica o se definen mundialmente. La revista es monotemática porque eso nos permite profundizar más sobre un tema a partir de
ópticas diferentes y entradas diversas, respecto al mismo problema; cosa que no sería posible si se trataran múltiples temáticas en cada
número.

BOUNDARIES - New call for papers on Architectures for Emergencies - Deadline 21 March 2014
Year: 2014
We wish to deepen discussions and researches around the topic of architecture in emergencies situations, on which we started
working with Boundaries' issue n. 2.
Even if they are considered as special events – something rarely happening – emergencies are, in many cases, an everyday
reality around the globe : from natural to man-made disasters, architecture must face a broad variety of emergency
circumstances. Can we speak about “architecture” at a given historical moment or in certain geographic areas?
Which is the role and the status of architecture during the disaster – shelter, appropriation for other uses –, and after the emergency – in the
reconstruction of the city or a part of it, in the reorganization of the community for the future in the short and long term? How do architects
react to situations like: destruction – physical and/or of the memory –, presence of ruins, restoration and reconstruction, and how does all that
interacts with human perception of the environment?
Contributions on any aspect of these topics, on which we wish to open a wide interdisciplinary debate, are encouraged.
All kinds of approaches
to this topic are welcomed, and papers can be case studies oriented, or methodological and/or theoretical in focus.

ISSN: En Trámite
Year: 2014
Con los primeros 50 años del Instituto de Investigaciones Estéticas, hoy Instituto Carlos Arbeláez Camacho para el
patrimonio arquitectónico y urbano en Bogotá, este artículo tiene como finalidad recorrer las etapas fundamentales del desarrollo de la cultura
de la restauración en Colombia gracias a la obra del profesor Carlos Arbeláez Camacho . Su obra se desarolló en un contexto cultural muy
complejo donde la práctica de la conservación del
patrimonio cultural no era de interés para la comunidad más interesada a la odernización del país. Sin embargo el trabajo de sensibilización
desarrollado por Carlos Arbeláez Camacho con sus alumnos ha puesto las bases por una cultura de la restauración, hoy con más de cincuenta
años de historia y de experiencias muy interesantes.

Open-access journal PLoS One: Climate change seen behind ancient civilizations' fall
A cold, dry spell that lasted hundreds of years may have driven the collapse of Eastern Mediterranean civilizations in
the 13th century BC, researchers in France said Wednesday. In the Late Bronze Age, powerful kingdoms spanned
lands that are now Egypt, Greece, Cyprus, Syria,
Turkey, Israel and the Palestinian territories, but they collapsed
suddenly around 1200 BC. Archeologists have long debated the reasons behind their fall, often citing economic
factors.

L'Himalaya a perdu 13% de ses glaciers en 40 ans
Environ 443 milliards de tonnes (Gt) de glaces auraient été perdues ces dernières années. Selon une étude d'Anil
V.Kulkarni et Yogesh Karyakarte, de l'Indian Institute of Science (IISc, Bangalore), publiée dans Current Science, la
masse totale d'eau glaciaire serait désormais de 4000 milliards de tonnes. En se basant sur des études de terrain,
des images satellitaires, cartes, et bibliographie, les auteurs donnent une image globale de la chaine, passant en
revue 11.000 km2 carré de glaciers Himalayens.
Une nouvelle expédition de chercheurs tchèques en Antarctique
Une nouvelle expédition de chercheur tchèques en Antarctique est partie début janvier. Seize personnes passeront 2 mois
dans la station Johann Gregor Mendel, située sur l'île James Ross. Les scientifiques étudieront, dans le cadre de projets à
long terme, le climat local de la partie nord de l'île, la vitesse de retrait des glaciers, le pergélisol (couche de glace
permanente) ainsi que les radiations UV qui atteignent la Terre lors de la déplétion annuelle de l'ozone stratosphérique de
l'Antarctique.
Nouveau programme russe de recherches en Antarctique
Le ministre des ressources naturelles Sergey Donskoï a réuni les principaux organismes impliqués dans la recherche
polaire : RosHydroMet, les deux principaux instituts d'océanographie (l'institut Zubov et l'institut Shirshov), ainsi que
les ministères concernés (science et éducation, ressources naturelles, développement économique, finances) afin de
discuter du financement des recherches scientifiques russes en Antarctique. Ce plan de recherches formait une partie
importante du programme fédéral ciblé "Océan mondial", dont la mise en place n'a pas été confirmée.
El cambio climático se asocia con un incremento general de parásitos en las aves
Investigadores europeos han analizado los efectos del aumento de temperatura en las relaciones entre las
poblaciones de 24 especies de aves y 89 parásitos sanguíneos. Según sus resultados, el ascenso de temperatura
incrementa la prevalencia de estos parásitos y el cambio climático afecta a la reproducción y condición corporal de
las aves.

Retour d'une nouvelle expédition scientifique en terre inexplorée de l’Antarctique
Une expédition scientifique de grande ampleur, entre la base française Dumont d’Urville et le point GC40 du bassin
Aurora en Antarctique, vient de se terminer dans le cadre du projet Aurora Basin North (ABN). Elle a permis la mise en
place d’une importante campagne de forage au point GC40 impliquant notamment le Centre de carottage et de forage
national (C2FN) français. La visite de cette région inexplorée de l’Antarctique par moyens terrestres résulte d’une
étroite collaboration entre l’IPEV, son homologue australien l’AAD et les scientifiques du Laboratoire de glaciologie et

Irrigation et changement climatique en Inde du Sud
À quels impacts du changement climatique les agriculteurs du sud de l’Inde doivent-ils se préparer ? Des chercheurs
issus de trois laboratoires [Nouvelles ressources en eau et économie (NRE, BRGM), Géosciences environnement
Toulouse (GET/OMP, IRD / CNRS / CNES / UPS) et Centre d’études spatiales de la biosphère (CESBIO/OMP, IRD /
CNRS / CNES / UPS)] ont tenté de répondre à cette question en s’associant à une équipe indienne du Centre francoindien de recherche sur les eaux souterraines (CEFIRES, BRGM / NGRI(1)) et à des spécialistes français de la
télédétection (SIRS, Systèmes d'information à référence spatiale). Leur étude révèle que le changement climatique
prévu à l’horizon 2045 va avoir des effets contrastés sur la disponibilité de la ressource en eau souterraine au sein d’un même bassin versant.
Elle démontre ainsi la nécessité de prendre en compte les caractéristiques locales (aquifère, infrastructures et pratiques) pour évaluer l’impact
du changement climatique sur les activités agricoles…

Published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
ISBN: 978-92-807-3353-2
Year: 2013
Should the global community not immediately embark on wide-ranging actions to narrow the greenhouse gas emissions gap, the
chance of remaining on the least-cost path to keeping global temperature rise below 2°C this century will swiftly diminish and
open the door to a host of challenges.
The Emissions Gap Report 2013-involving 44 scientific groups in 17 countries and coordinated by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)-is
released as leaders prepare to meet for the latest Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Warsaw.
It finds that although pathways exist that could reach the 2oC target with higher emissions, not narrowing the gap will exacerbate mitigation
challenges after 2020…

META-MUSEUM: CHINESE EXPORT SILVER - Standing on Ceremony
Chinese culture is so enriched with allegorical imagery that one could almost say it is its very foundation. As with any world
culture, it is an osmotic accumulation of influences from outside and within China over millennia, manifesting itself in
ceremon8ial and decorative objects in combinations that are themselves often wonders in their own right. One particular object
is the result of a virtual metamorphosis of usages, beliefs, superstitions and myths; as an object it literally stands out of the
crowd of symbolic phenomena.

Oil Plant Could Destroy 1614 Dutch Fort in Albany, New York - USA
A proposed facility to heat crude oil at the Port of Albany could forever destroy “Fort Nassau,” North America’s oldest
Dutch habitation built in January, 1614, say historians. But the structure could be saved, if the project is handled
correctly.
Fort Nassau was constructed during a 1613 trading expedition for the Amsterdam Van Tweenhysen Company,
commanded by Captain Adriaen Block. In January 1614, Block remained in New York Bay but sent Hedrick
Christiaensen and his crew up the Hudson River (then called the “North River”) to build a trading post, named Fort

Inheritance and Identity of Cultural Heritage
Niglio, Olimpia
Advances in Literary Study 2014. Vol.2, No.1, 1-4
Published Online January 2014 in SciRes (http://www.scirp.org/journal/als)
Year: 2014
Generally the community describes the “cultural heritage” such as historic, artistic, scientific and tradi-tional. These definitions often coincide
with the attribution of “value” and “identity”. Many answers about what could “cultural heritage” be are explained as a set together with their
specific value, such as landscape and architecture of high artistic value and historic materials of scientific value. In contrast it is not possible to
rely on this generality of definitions. The reality shows that the definition of value of “cul-tural heritage” changes in relation to the person,
culture, geography, social and economic conditions. In other words, in relation to the person, the standpoint of value of “cultural heritage” is
different according to each category, such as ruins, works of art, historic cities and gardens, and it is rare that one category simultaneously
holds many of such values. It is believed that there are no words or phrases that compre-hensively explain the various values that prescribe
“cultural heritage”. Therefore in defining “cultural heritage” its values not must be specifically expressed as historic, artistic, scientific and
others, but should be left in a way that can correspond also to the concept of a “cultural heritage” the significance of identity and of inheritance.
Define the value of cultural heritage means to analyze the identity of the site and its contents of inheritance. The concepts of value and
inheritance analyzed here are not related to economic considerations. Differently these concepts are analyzed with reference to scientific
theories of A. K. Sen, M. W. Feldman and L. Cavalli-Sforza. In fact this paper proposes a reflection on these concepts with the support of
interdisciplinary studies.

A World in Decay? – a Case of Tram Cemetery in Wrocław (Poland)
Kobiałka, Dawid
Year: 2013
One of the many examples of material culture where materiality and memory are deeply interwoven is a certain tram cemetery in Wrocł aw
(Poland) (fig. 1). That is why I will shortly describe the history of the site, to focus later on interesting problems which confront us, such as
heritage sites as tram and/or car cemeteries. I refer also to cinema, where issues often discussed by archaeologists, like ruins, material
culture, heritage in becoming, etc. are staged in such a way that is worthy of closer attention.

Harmonization of World Heritage Tentative Lists in North and East Africa, Proceedings of Twin Workshops, Cairo (Egypt)
March and May 2010
Editor: Prof. Samir Ghabbour
Publisher: Egyptian National UNESCO Commission, Ministry of Higher Education
Year: 2013
In the words of Mr. Webber Ndoro, Director of the African World Heritage Fund, these twin workshops organized by the Egyptian
UNESCO Commission, should provide an opportunity for African countries to participate in the nomination of more sites for
inclusion on the WH List and to improve chances of success of nomination files of these sites and strengthen the efforts of heritage
conservation and good management. They stress the necessity of activating the role of civil society in conservation programmes and awareness
raising. They also stress the great importance of heritage management in the support of sustainable development and the eradication of
poverty. Furthermore he pointed out that the world heritage status could greatly contribute in achieving the Millennium Development Goals. The
vision and mission are in identifying
heritage sites that must be placed on the WH List. The key obligations are:
1. Complete and even add to the work of the World Heritage Committee.
2. Develop a workplan period of ten years to ensure capacity building in African heritage.
3. Strategic planning for the next three years focusing on the preliminary support for conservation and management of sites and for the process
of rehabilitation of these sites.

Art Hopkins - Columbus - Indiana (USA)
I moved to Columbus, Indiana in 1979, and have been privileged to live among significant buildings by many notable
architects of the 20th century (and before). Eight American Institute of Architect's Gold Medal winners have designed
buildings here. There are also numerous landscapes—corporate, institutional, and public landscapes, as well as two
private residential landscapes—by Dan Kiley. Sadly, several of those have since been lost due to the cost of
maintenance and other factors.
In the late 1980s I studied landscape architecture at Cornell University, where the faculty were great Kiley enthusiasts.
In one class we even studied his Hamilton House landscape in Columbus. I returned to Columbus and work here now as a licensed Landscape
Architect. I also volunteer with environmental and Scout groups, and am past president of the Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society…

Museum of Modern Art Sculpture Garden - New York City (USA)
In 1953, architect Philip Johnson and landscape architect James Fanning designed a Modernist sculpture garden for the
mid-town Manhattan museum, dedicated to patron Abby Aldrich Rockefeller. The rectangular, open-air courtyard was set on
two levels and paved in long, rectilinear slabs of Vermont marble. The western, upper platform comprised a dining terrace
shaded by a line of eight hornbeams. The lower terrace, sunken two-feet below grade, was incised by two water channels
spanned by marble platforms and planted with cryptomeria and
birch trees, which helped break up the space and control
visibility of the sculpture placed throughout the garden. An 18-foot high, gray brick wall with climbing ivy formed the
garden’s north edge, screening it from West 54th Street. Under Johnson’s aegis the garden was enlarged to the east in 1964, at which time
landscape architects Zion & Breen unified the planting scheme by replacing the cryptomerias with weeping beeches and planting additional
weeping birch trees to echo an existing cluster of trees in the west end…

Navigations intérieures. Histoire de la batellerie de la préhistoire à demain

Year: 2012
Après une longue éclipse, les rivières et les canaux de France ont fait leur retour au coeur de nos sociétés, et chacun d'entre
nous est aujourd'hui concerné par ce changement considérable en tant que citoyen, consommateur ou contribuable. Dans toutes
les régions, les fleuves et les canaux sont mis en avant et séduisent les acteurs de l'économie, du tourisme, du sport et
deviennent un lieu privilégié d'habitat. Ce profond mouvement de redécouverte et de réappropriation a défini une nouvelle manière de vivre
avec les cours d'eau : on décentralise, on aménage les rives urbaines, on reconstruit des bateaux à l'ancienne, on classe les bords de Seine,
de Loire et du canal du Midi au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco…

Incense Route - Desert Cities in the Negev (Israel)
The four Nabatean towns of Haluza, Mamshit, Avdat and Shivta, along with associated fortresses and agricultural
landscapes in the Negev Desert, are spread along routes linking them to the Mediterranean end of the incense and
spice route. Together they reflect the hugely profitable trade in frankincense and myrrh from south Arabia to the
Mediterranean, which flourished from the 3rd century BC until the 2nd century AD. With the vestiges of their
sophisticated irrigation systems, urban constructions, forts and caravanserai, they bear witness to the
way in which the
harsh desert was settled for trade and agriculture.

Education Kit on Combating Desertification
Publication co-ordinators: Thomas Schaaf (UNESCO) and Rajeb Boulharouf (UNCCD)
ISBN: 978-92-3-103892-1
Combating desertification both preserves the natural heritage of the world’s drylands and contributes to the
eradication of poverty, so that the development of today’s world does not harm future generations.
This education kit comprises a teacher’s guide, a series of case studies, an illustrated children’s book and a poster.
This kit is principally targeted at teachers and pupils at the top end of primary school and the beginning of secondary
school in countries affected by desertification. It has been conceived to enhance the school programme. Teachers can easily incorporate
elements of the kit into existing lesson plans.
The Education Kit on Combating Desertification includes: two books (98 and 100 pp.) illustrated with photos and maps + 3 copies of an
illustrated children’s book + 1 poster presented in a slipcase 30 × 21.5cm

Plan de seguridad en bibliotecas: la protección del patrimonio documental
By Juan José Prieto Gutiérrez, Librarian in Complutense University of Madrid and Ph.D. in Documentation and Library Science
and Documentation.
ISBN. 978-84-9704-696-1
Year: 2013
The growing trickle of unfortunate events, many times intentioned, on certain documentary collections generated missing and
destruction of heritage, sometimes unique and irreparable.
Reading the book provides alternatives and solutions through the implementation of programs adapted to the needs of each institution. For that
purpose, it presents a security model plan that the institutions should commit to implement and it can be adjusted and used by other cultural
institutions, such as archives, museums and documentation centers.
The monograph is divided into five chapters: i. Elements to be protected. ii. General security systems. iii. Bibliographic heritage protection. iv.
Security plan for document. v. Electronic documents security.
The prologuist of the book, Arsenio Sánchez Hernampérez, National Library of
Spain, confirms the need to protect the documentary heritage,
increasingly ephemeral, fragile and wanted.

New University Library in Cayenne / rh+ architecture - 2013 - Guyane - France
From the architect. A coordinating facility, open to the University: The building of the University Library, located at
the heart of the Guyanese University Campus has to be a driving force within the University and contribute to its
regional radiance. It is a structuring facility for all the
buildings that constitute the Guyanese University Campus: its
vocation is to gather books and readers in a unique place dedicated to knowledge, an open and generous place
within the University. It is about providing a cultural and documentary service of quality and also materialise the
image of the regional community, therefore one of the main issues is to give to the building of the University Library
a physical, social and symbolic identity that will impact the one of the neighbourhood and of the city.

Hungarian lowland in the first half of the 19th century: The autobiography of Varga József in poetry
Edited by Maria Bostenaru Dan
ISBN: 9783954044580
Year: 2013
Through this work we publish in edited mode a 19th century manuscript. The manuscript is a poetry piece, about 90 pages. The
manuscript describes mainly the peasant life. At the end of each part there are so-called „songs”. Characteristic for the
manuscript is the description of the participation in the 1848 revolution, on horseback, which the author liked. Varga József, my
ancestor, was born in 1813, so it is timely to publich this year, at the 200th anniversary, this manuscript. The history about it talks happened in
the vicinity of Kiskunfélegyháza city, in a locality where the author lived most of his life (Galambos farm). In the introduction we talk about the
family history as well as about the history of the city. The poetry itself is available in original, in transcription according to today’s grammar as
well as in English, opposite to the scanned manuscript. In the preface a link to the audio-visual youtube version is mentioned. The book has
been submitted to the Ithaka programme to bring Hungarian immaterial movable heritage to archives and museums.

Auroville Earth Institute (AVEI) Newsletter, January 2014
The Auroville Earth Institute is researching, developing, promoting and transferring earth-based
technologies, which are cost and energy effective. These technologies are disseminated through
training courses, seminars, workshops, manuals and documents. The Institute is also offering
various services, and provides consultancy within and outside India.
The emphasis is focused on the research and development of earth based technologies and their
dissemination through training courses. The most promoted technology today is Compressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB).
One of the aims of the Auroville Earth Institute is to give people the possibility to create and build for themselves their own habitat, while using
earth techniques.

World Heritage Earthen Architecture Programme (WHEAP)
Earthen architecture is one of the most original and powerful expressions of our ability to create a built environment
with readily available resources. It includes a great variety of structures, ranging from mosques, palaces and
granaries, to historic city centres, cultural landscapes and archaeological sites. Its cultural importance throughout the
world is evident and has led to its consideration as a common heritage of humankind, therefore deserving protection
and conservation by the international community. In 2011, over 10% of the World Heritage properties incorporate
earthen structures. The availability and economic quality of the material mean it bears great potential to contribute to
poverty alleviation and sustainable development.

EarthArchitecture.org
EarthArchitecture.org began February 22, 2003 as the online research of Ronald Rael—an architect and Assistant Professor at the University of
California Berkeley. The compilation of the research on the earth architecture website led to the publication of Earth Architecture (Princeton
Architectural Press, 2008, paperback edition, 2010), which examines the contemporary history of the oldest and most widely used building
material on the planet—dirt. The research was funded by the Graham Foundation for Constructed Topographies: Earth Architecture in the
Landscape of Modernity, and the Architectural League of New York's Deborah Norden Competition for Wadi Hadramut: Cities of Earth.

Earth Architecture
By Ronald Rael
ISBN 9781568987675
University of California, Berkeley
Year: 2008
Currently it is estimated that one half of the world's population--approximately three billion people on six continents--lives or
works in buildings constructed of earth. And while the vast legacy of traditional and vernacular earthen construction has been
widely discussed, little attention has been paid to the contemporary tradition of earth architecture. Author Ronald Rael, founder of
Eartharchitecture.org provides a history of building with earth in the modern era, focusing particularly on projects constructed in the last few
decades that use rammed earth, mud brick, compressed earth, cob, and several other interesting techniques. Earth Architecture presents a
selection of more than 40 projects that exemplify new, creative uses of the oldest building material on the planet…

[…] The mobility of students across borders has given rise to many concerns from policy makers and educators alike. The issues
are complex and extend beyond the realm of education.
In response to these concerns, this publication presents the results of a study conducted by members of the Education Research Institute
Network (ERI-net) in 2011. Following a common research framework, researchers from Australia, China, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Philippines, the Republic of Korea and Thailand examined the drivers, consequences and implications of increased international student
mobility in their country. The reports shed light on many issues including the domestic and external factors affecting student mobility, countries
as popular study destinations or senders of students, the role of governments in shaping higher education and student mobility, rules and
regulations governing private and public education providers, modes of delivery of education, student financial aid and visa requirements. […]

Global Forest Watch website reveals disturbing deforestation in ‘near-real time’
Data from the University of Maryland and Google reveal that the world lost 2.3 million square kilometers of tree

Dans un appel paru dans Gazeta Wyborcza, l'éminent archéologue et égyptologue Polonais Andrzej Niwinski, lance
un appel aux dons afin de mettre à jour ce qui pourrait être la tombe intacte d'un haut prêtre de l'Egypte ancienne.
The Ancient Egyptian Economy
The economy of pharaonic Egypt has been called an ancient command economy, but one should always remember
that such modern definitions are not as apt as one would hope for. Still, there was a specialized bureaucracy which
monitored or controlled much of its activity, one of
the hallmarks of planned economies.

This book clearly presents the complex and often contradictory subject of ecotourism. Early on, ecotourism was held in a highly
Heritage Economics
favorable light as being the ideal alternative to mass tourism. It was purported to have minimal impact on the natural
environment, cultural resources, and indigenous communities while simultaneously it provided economic benefit to local economies. Whereas
ecotourism can and does achieve many of these benefits, which are not mutually exclusive, it is not without its faults because research has
shown that even the low-impact approach of ecotourism can still inflict changes. These changes include physical impacts by visitors to natural
resources such as erosion on trail surfaces, disturbance of fragile cultural resources, disruption and/or displacement of wildlife from their
habitat, and social changes to local indigenous cultures. That said, ecotourism is not necessarily a bad thing. It does provide a means for local
cultures to take advantage of interest in local resources by outside visitors; much of the revenue associated with ecotourism remains at the
point of designation.

Loi Littoral : le principe de précaution paralyse son application - France
Un rapport du Sénat appelle à revenir à l'esprit d'origine de la loi Littoral devenue qu'une loi de
protection de l'environnement sans vision de développement équilibré des territoires. Il pointe
une application excessive du principe de précaution.
Si la loi Littoral, adoptée en 1986,
a permis de freiner "le bétonnage des côtes", elle connaît
encore des difficultés de mise en œuvre pour les élus locaux, critique un rapport d'information du
Sénat présenté le 29 janvier à la presse…

La protection juridique des cours d'eau : Contribution à une réflexion sur l'appréhension des objets complexes
Farinetti, Aude
Editions Johanet, 2012
ISBN 979-1091089012
Year: 2012
Partant de la mise en évidence par les sciences de la nature du caractère d’écosystème complexe des cours d’eau, cet ouvrage,
récompensé du prix de thèse 2010 de l’Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3, confronte l’arsenal juridique aux défis que lui lance leur
protection. Il montre d’abord que face à leur traditionnelle appréhension juridique fragmentaire, ignorante des interactions unissant leurs
multiples composantes, divers instruments de droit public (la domanialité publique fluviale, la police ou les servitudes administratives) ont été
mobilisés afin de restaurer en droit l’unité écologique des cours d’eau et d’améliorer leur protection. Un cadre territorial adapté à
l’hydrosystème fluvial a ainsi été recherché dans le recours à la technique des réseaux ou aux territoires hydrographiques. Il montre ensuite
qu’à partir de ce socle spatial réunifié, le droit a développé une appréhension plus globale de l’hydrosystème fluvial…

the new 27-story residential tower plans to provide
150 apartments, retail space and roof garden. As part of the
area’s regeneration plan, the project will be the third Piano-designed building on the block.

Strasbourg : la Neustadt au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco ?
Tous les recoins de la nouvelle ville de Strasbourg, le quartier de la Neustadt, sont analysés au peigne fin : un audit du
quartier est en cours – il devrait durer jusqu’en 2016 – en vue d’une inscription future au patrimoine mondial de
l’UNESCO…
Alors que la Grande-Île de Strasbourg figure déjà sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco depuis 1988 –
notamment pour sa cathédrale, son ensemble urbain caractéristique de l’Europe moyenne et son architecture
domestique rhénane des XVe et XVIe siècles -, la ville et la communauté urbaine de Strasbourg ainsi que la Région
Alsace souhaitent maintenant, au terme de cet inventaire, déposer la candidature de cette extension urbaine de la capitale régionale à figurer
sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO…

What the Guggenheim Should Consider Before Building in Helsinki - Finland
The Guggenheim is planning a new museum in Helsinki. The site is in the heart of the city, next door to the late 19th
Century market hall and open-air market place, two minutes from Helsinki Cathedral. The project, therefore, has
great landmark potential for the city. And many Finns are lured by this very potential, wanting to increase tourism
and put their capital city more evidently on the world map. There has also been discussion in the country’s main
newspaper Helsingin Sanomat about how Finns should welcome a more joyous and fun architecture.

ISSN 0187-8611
Year: 2014
CIUDADES es una revista trimestral monotemática y los temas se seleccionan en relación al debate que actualmente se está
desarrollando respecto al territorio y que son importantes para nuestro país (lo cual puede ser abordado en la coyuntura pero,
igualmente, de manera histórica). Estas cuestiones a veces son totalmente nacionales y muchas otras se engloban en procesos que afectan a
toda Latinoamérica o se definen mundialmente. La revista es monotemática porque eso nos permite profundizar más sobre un tema a partir de
ópticas diferentes y entradas diversas, respecto al mismo problema; cosa que no sería posible si se trataran múltiples temáticas en cada
número.

US museums' about-face on restitution
Institutions take a proactive approach to problem antiquities, but critics want to see more information online
The Denver Museum of Nature & Science repatriated 30 memorial totems to the National Museums of Kenya last month. The
restitution, which was initiated and funded by the Colorado institution, represents a larger shift in the way US museums approach
objects with questionable provenance. Such a proactive approach would have been unimaginable two decades ago…

Khachkars and Icons: Looting in pre- and post-Soviet Armenia
Located on the piedmont of the Caucasus mountain range, the country of Armenia illustrates an interesting paradox. It is, on one
hand, a nation-state born out of, and partly modeled by, the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. However, it is also a country
that dogmatically identifies itself with civilizations more than 2000 years-old, and defends the idea of an evolving yet continuous
Armenian identity.

Conference - The Connected Audience- Berlin - Germany - 27-28 February 2014
Our society has been transformed by new technology and its use by museums have far-reaching implications
in the way we experience museums, how museums themselves communicate with us, but also in how audience
research can be designed and undertaken. This 2-day conference will examine innovative audience research
projects which use digital media and web-based technology to better understand visitor behaviour and will
explore how new technology can help visitors to have a fulfilling museum experience. A series of best practice
examples, 'pecha-kucha' presentations and high profile key-note speakers such as the leading expert John H.
Falk (USA), will provide an exceptional get-together of international audience research experts and those who are keen to learn more about the
use and evaluation of new
technology in audience research projects…

Publications Experiencing Augmented Reality as an Accessibility Resource in the UNESCO Heritage Site called "La Lonja", Valencia
Autor: Marina Puyuelo, José Luís Higón, Lola Merino, Mónica Val, Manuel Contero
Editor: Procedia Science Direct
ISBN-ISSN ISSN 1877-0509
Year: 2013
This paper presents the design of an augmented reality application for the Gothic Silk Market Building called the "Lonja de la Seda"
in Valencia (UNESCO Monument Heritage Site, 1996) and the results of the experiments carried out "in-situ" to observe its usability
as an accessibility resource. The objective of this project has been to use and validate augmented reality (AR) as a tool to increase the
accessibility to the architectural elements of this monumental setting. The AR application aims to resolve the perception issues derived from
poor lighting, the distance in relation to the multiple details, access, etc. 145 individuals of different ages and diverse origin, making the visit to
the monument with or without guide used the AR application. When visitors had used the application as they wished, interviews were conducted
individually in order to receive their feedback about the AR experience. Users enjoyed identifying and selecting the motifs they were going to
visualize with the AR tool. In general, the experience was very positively evaluated by participants, promoting a favourable and renewed image
of the monument.

Cadiz Central Market, Rehabilitation and Extension / Carlos de Riaño Lozano 2010- Cadiz - Spain
From the architect. It is one the first buildings built in Spain to regulate and house the sale of perishable products, until then
in the hands of street vendors. It is a contemporary of the Encarnación market in Seville and the Puerto Real market, and
previous to the markets that were built in Madrid, Barcelona and Santander after 1840. The building is a transition between
the open square and what later would be covered market squares. With that massive inner structure that alienated the
original architecture and hid its values, it was difficult to distinguish the two periods. After going up to the roof, all doubts
were cleared upon seeing four splendid doors, one in each facade, imperceptible from the street level, in a building
overturned to the interior.

AD Classics: Pennsylvania Station / McKim, Mead & White - New York City - New York State - USA
New York City’s original Pennsylvania Station was a monument to movement and an expression of American
economic power. In 1902, the noted firm McKim, Mead and White was selected by the President of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to design its Manhattan terminal. Completed
in 1910, the gigantic steel and stone building covered four city
blocks until its demolition in 1963, when it ceded to economic strains hardly fifty years after opening.

L'industrie minière de l'antimoine et du tungstène. Émergence, prospérité et disparition des exploitations de France
métropolitaine aux XIXe et XXe siècles
Par Pierre-Christian Guiollard
Mémorie de thèse soutene le 11 décembre 2009 à l’Université de Haute-Alsace à Mulhouse.
Directeurs de thèse : Nicolas Stoskopf et Pierre Fluck (CRESAT)
Atlantica Éditions
ISBN: 9782758803737
Year: 2009
Antimoine et tungstène, deux « petits métaux » d’alliage qui, chacun à des époques différentes, eurent une importance stratégique liée à
l’industrialisation et à l’armement. L’antimoine dont l’existence est connue depuis l’Antiquité, fut exploité en France depuis le XVIe siècle, mais
c’est véritablement au cours des XIXe et Xxe siècles qu’il fit l’objet d’une exploitation importante en de nombreux points du territoire français.
Le tungstène est de découverte plus récente, même si ses principaux minerais, la wolframite et la scheelite, sont connus depuis longtemps des
minéralogistes et des chimistes, ses applications industrielles datent seulement de la dernière décennie du XIXe siècle.

Hungarian lowland in the first half of the 19th century: The autobiography of Varga József in poetry
Edited by Maria Bostenaru Dan
ISBN: 9783954044580
Year: 2013
Through this work we publish in edited mode a 19th century manuscript. The manuscript is a poetry piece, about 90 pages. The
manuscript describes mainly the peasant life. At the end of each part there are so-called „songs”. Characteristic for the
manuscript is the description of the participation in the 1848 revolution, on horseback, which the author liked. Varga József, my
ancestor, was born in 1813, so it is timely to publich this year, at the 200th anniversary, this manuscript. The history about it talks happened in
the vicinity of Kiskunfélegyháza city, in a locality where the author lived most of his life (Galambos farm). In the introduction we talk about the
family history as well as about the history of the city. The poetry itself is available in original, in transcription according to today’s grammar as
well as in English, opposite to the scanned manuscript. In the preface a link to the audio-visual youtube version is mentioned. The book has
been submitted to the Ithaka programme to bring Hungarian immaterial movable heritage to archives and museums.

Hear The Epic of Gilgamesh Read in the Original Akkadian and Enjoy the Sounds of Mesopotamia
Long ago, in the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia, Akkadian was the dominant language. And, for centuries, it remained the
lingua franca in the Ancient Near East. But then it was gradually squeezed out by Aramaic, and it faded into oblivion once
Alexander the Great Hellenized (Greekified) the region.

La population de thon rouge sur le déclin selon les experts
La consommation grandissante de thon rouge engendre l'épuisement des stocks et les responsables de la gestion des pêches
n'arrivent pas à prendre des mesures concrètes pour enrayer le phénomène selon les experts.
Une modélisation de l'écosystème du golf de Cadiz pour y permettre une gestion durable de la pêche Espagne
Des chercheurs de l'Institut Espagnol d'Océanographie ont développé un premier modèle écosystémique du
golfe de Cadiz, qui caractérise son réseau trophique, analyse les flux d'énergie entre les différents groupes
fonctionnels, identifie les espèces clés de la chaine trophique et y quantifie l'impact de la pêche. Cet outil
permettra de mettre en place un nouveau mode de gestion de la pêche dans le golf de Cadiz, en prenant en
compte le plus grand nombre de possible de facteurs affectant chacune des populations marines exploitées.
Mieux comprendre le cycle saisonnier du phytoplancton dans l’océan Austral
Des chercheurs du Laboratoire d’océanographie microbienne (LOMIC/OOB, CNRS / UPMC), du Laboratoire
d’océanographie de Villefranche (LOV/OOV, CNRS / UPM) et du Centre d'études biologiques de Chizé (CEBC,
CNRS) ont utilisé des éléphants de mer équipés d’instruments miniaturisés pour mesurer simultanément, dans
l’océan Austral, les variations saisonnières de deux paramètres physiques (température et salinité) et de la
chlorophylle. Ces mesures leur ont permis de comprendre le lien entre cycle saisonnier du phytoplancton et
disponibilité en lumière. Ces résultats vont contribuer à mieux prédire la réponse biologique de l’océan Austral aux
futurs changements climatiques dans ces régions.

Loi Littoral : le principe de précaution paralyse son application - France

How we all kill whales By Michael Moore
Oxford University Press
My first job after veterinary school in 1983 was for the International Whaling
Commission examining the efficacy of explosive harpoons for killing fin whales on
an Icelandic whaling vessel. Later, I encountered a very different way of killing
whales. A North Atlantic right whale was first sighted entangled in fishing gear in
May of 1999. Five months later it was dead off Cape May, New Jersey. The
entangling rope and gillnet, bound around both armpits, and tightly stretched over its back, had dissected off the blubber leaving a massive
wound (below) while it was still alive…

Maison de la Batellerie / Jean-Baptiste Lacoudre Architecture - 2012 - Paris - France
From the architect. The skippers house is part of a group of buildings that form an urban façade on the seine. The strategic
location of this “house” between the seine and quai, fantastic views, but various changes have removed this permeability. In
addition in 1970, a heightening of
the room award was made by a “pastiche” of corrugated sheets imitating concrete façade. This
addition makes “heavy mass” in the volume growth.

Vauban, architecte de la modernité ?
Sous la direction de Thierry Martin et Michèle Virol
Presses Univ. Franche-Comté, 2008 - 301 pages
Collection : Cahiers de la MSHE Ledoux
ISBN 978.2.84867.232.8
ISSN 1956-0222
Year: 2008
L’oeuvre de Vauban (1633-1707) peut être considérée comme une contribution essentielle à l’édification de la modernité, en comprenant celle-
ci comme l’époque où la rationalité, dans les différents domaines où elle s’investit, vient occuper une place prépondérante. C’est cette
modernité de l’oeuvre de Vauban qui est ici interrogée à la fois sous sa forme politique et économique, où elle prend place dans le mouvement
de rationalisation de l’action politique qui marquera les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, et dans ses applications à
l’architecture militaire et aux fortifications. Ce faisant, ce sont à la fois les influences subies et exercées par Vauban sur ses contemporains,
anglais et allemands mais aussi américains et canadiens, tout comme son éventuelle actualité qui sont ici présentées et étudiées.
Des historiens, des philosophes et des spécialistes de la fortification et de l’urbanisme, européens et américains, se proposent d’évaluer
l’apport de Vauban à la construction des temps modernes

Happy Birthday Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto, born February 3,1898, would have turned 116 years old today. Known for his humanistic approach to
modernism, Aalto was concerned about creating a total work of art. He did not simply design buildings but also paid
close attention to their interior features, including furniture, lamps, and glassware design.

A Master Architect’s Surprising Obsession
Frank Lloyd Wright—perhaps the most influential American architect of the 20th century—was deeply
ambivalent about cities. For decades, Wright was seen as the prophet of America’s post-World War II
suburban sprawl, yet the cities he imagined were also carefully planned, and very different from the
disorganized landscapes that were often developed instead. Paradoxically, Wright was also a lifelong
prophet of the race for height (think skyscrapers) that played, and continues to play, out around the world.

AD Classics: 2 Columbus Circle / Edward Durell Stone & Associates - 1964 - New York City - New York State USA
Located on a small and irregular shaped island at Columbus Circle, one of the busiest intersections in Manhattan, lies
2 Columbus Circle, formerly known as the Gallery of Modern Art. Famously described as a “die-cut Venetian palazzo
on lollipops” by Ada Louise Huxtable, the New York Times architecture critic at the time, the 10-story poured concrete
structure has been a source of consistent controversy and public response since the 1960s. Designed by Edward
Durell Stone, an early proponent of American modern architecture, 2 Columbus Circle represents a turning point in his
career. Uncharacteristic of Stone’s prior work, his use of ornament on an otherwise modern structure can be seen as an important precedent of
the development of the soon-to-emerge Postmodern movement.

Interwar architecture with reinforced concrete structure exposed to multihazard in European context - Intervention in the
Romanian and Italian context
Author: Maria Bostenaru Dan
ISBN: 978-3-643-90366-2
Year: 2013
The theme of this work is between the response to environmental hazards such as earthquakes of housing of the so-called "other
Modernism" , over issues of conservation of historical materials in the final investigation of this kind of sustainable urban
development, including inhabitant's participation. It is important to preserve memory, and we used the knowledge of art, a multimedia
installation, and the role of photography as an example of virtual witness. We put in dialogue traditional earthquake resistant natural materials
with modern construction. From here we learn lessons for retrofit.

L'Himalaya a perdu 13% de ses glaciers en 40 ans
Environ 443 milliards de tonnes (Gt) de glaces auraient été perdues ces dernières années. Selon une étude d'Anil
V.Kulkarni et Yogesh Karyakarte, de l'Indian Institute of Science (IISc, Bangalore), publiée dans Current Science, la
masse totale d'eau glaciaire serait désormais de 4000 milliards de tonnes. En se basant sur des études de terrain,

L'UICN publie une brochure sur le développement des énergies renouvelables dans les écosystèmes montagneux
Rédaction : Marion Péguin sous la coordination de Sébastien Moncorps et de Michel Fourcade puis Hélène Denis.
ISBN : 978-2-918105-34-3
Year: 2013
La brochure de 44 pages fait ainsi le tour des énergies renouvelables disponibles en montagne et leur potentiel : solaire, éolien,
hydroélectricité, bioénergies et géothermie. Les auteurs soulignent ici l'importance d'un développement encadré de ces énergies
Mountains
qui peut influer sur les milieux naturels fragiles de la montagne. Et de préciser que « cette exploitation peut provoquer des
impacts potentiels importants, comme le déboisement pour la production de bois, les atteintes aux écosystèmes et aux espèces que certaines
installations hydroélectriques entraînent, les dérangements causés par les éoliennes sur la faune et leur impact sur les paysages, et de
manière plus générale, un processus de consommation d'espace ».
Pour chacune des sources d'énergie renouvelable, l'UICN évalue ses points forts et ses points faibles et en tire des recommandations pour
préserver l'environnement montagnard, en particulier la biodiversité et les paysages.

Archaeological Museum of Oviedo / PardoTapia Arquitectos - 2011 - Oviedo - Spain
A museum should empower the evocative capacity of the memory. In this purpose, the museum is a sum of parts where each
has its own value and its own characteristics. The museum becomes a platform to make visible what was invisible until now.
Towards a Postcolonial Practice for Ethnographic Museums
In the past few years New Zealand Maoris, Malian Dogon, Surinam and Brazil Wayana, Trio, Karina, and Tupari
Indians, Australian Aborigines, Indonesian Governors, Japanese Princes, Korean and Saudi businessmen stood
on the doorsteps of Dutch Ethnographic museums and heritage institutions to access to their own heritage. Their
heritage lies partly in depots of European institutions and is often poorly preserved in the source countries.
Inspired by a post-colonial discourse in the “90 many disputes over heritage matters ultimately ended up before
court. This rarely resulted in a constructive outcome. Rather than seeking pragmatic alternatives which could
offer solutions for both parties, matters are stuck in timely legal matters over ownership and endless polemics between nation states,
institutions and indigenous peoples. In the current millennium Ethnographic Museums have been trying to develop a Postcolonial Practice. This
practice is rooted in Foucault, Said, Spivak and Latour who developed this postcolonial discourse. Postcolonial practices consist of a search for
a pragmatic approach to achieve constructive results for all stakeholders, which offer more than a one-dimensional view of the exotic other.

META-MUSEUM: CHINESE EXPORT SILVER - Standing on Ceremony
Chinese culture is so enriched with allegorical imagery that one could almost say it is its very foundation. As with any world
culture, it is an osmotic accumulation of influences from outside and within China over millennia, manifesting itself in
ceremon8ial and decorative objects in combinations that are themselves often wonders in their own right. One particular object
is the result of a virtual metamorphosis of usages, beliefs, superstitions and myths; as an object it literally stands out of the
crowd of symbolic phenomena.

Tsing Tao Pearl Hill Visitor Center / Bohlin Cywinski Jackson - 2012 - Qingdao, Shandong, China
From the architect. The visitor center represents an international collaboration to reintroduce wood construction in China. The
showcase structure reinterprets historic precedent using modern materials and innovation to accommodate current Chinese
culture.
Independent lectures by both the architect and engineer at a respected Chinese University advocating the potential of wood
design led to the initial contact for the project. The primary interest in reintroducing timber into Chinese construction typologies
was based on wood being a renewable material and sustainable strategy.

Pharmacy Museum / Site Specific Arquitectura - 2010 - Porto - Portugal
From the architect. The project of the Pharmacy Museum is the result of the close relationship between the

contemporary and multifunctional. The definition of the exhibition space starts from the aim of keeping visible the
mesh of the existing structural slab above, creating a geometric reference which together with a white and bright
ambience reinforce the concept of limit.

Une vitrine particulière pour conserver les momies - Italie
Après des siècles passés en sécurité dans leurs tombes, un ennemi invisible attend les momies quand elles sont exposées
dans les musées : les champignons et les bactéries, qui sont capables de les décomposer rapidement hors de

l'Istituto per le Mummie e l'Iceman dell'Eurac à Bolzano ont trouvé et breveté une solution. Il s'agit d'une vitrine étanche,

objects with questionable provenance. Such a proactive approach would have been unimaginable two decades ago…

Archaeological Pavilion / kadawittfeldarchitektur - 2013 - Aachen-- Germany
From the architect. In the heart of Aachen, within view of its famed cathedral, is the city’s most beloved innercity
park, the Elisen Garden. During extensive archeological excavations amazing discoveries were made: spanning from
the Neolithic period (4700 BC) to the high and late
Middle Ages (ca. 910-1500) there is evidence of all essential
periods of the history of settlement in Aachen from the birth of Christ to the present.

What the Guggenheim Should Consider Before Building in Helsinki - Finland
The Guggenheim is planning a new museum in Helsinki. The site is in the heart of the city, next door to the late 19th
Century market hall and open-air market place, two minutes from Helsinki Cathedral. The project, therefore, has
great landmark potential for the city. And many Finns are lured by this very potential, wanting to increase tourism
and put their capital city more evidently on the world map. There has also been discussion in the country’s main
newspaper Helsingin Sanomat about how Finns should welcome a more joyous and fun architecture.

The Spanish Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Environment, and the MAB Programme officially certified
three new Spanish biosphere reserves
On 5 February 2014 the Minister of Agriculture, Food and the Environment of Spain, Miguel Arias Cañete, presided
over a ceremony, held in Madrid, at which the Man and the Biosphere programme granted official certification to
three new Spanish biosphere reserves: Terras de l’Ebre, Real Sitio de San Ildefonso–El Espinar, and Marinas
Coruñesas and Terras de Mandaean. These three new reserves were nominated in May 2013 by the International
Coordinating Council of the MAB Programme…
Les îles Kerama deviennent le 31ème parc national japonais
Le ministre de l'Environnement Nobuteru Ishihara a annoncé qu'il désignera 31ème parc national du Japon les îles Kerama
d'Okinawa. Il s'agit de la première désignation depuis celle de 1987 pour le parc national de Kushiro Marshland à Hokkaido.
Les îles Kerama sont composées d'une trentaine d'ilots, à 40 km de Naha, et sont célèbres pour leur eau claire et la
diversité du récif corallien. Les eaux à 30km de leurs côtes seront également désignées parc maritime national.
Les lacs du Grand-Sud néocalédoniens classés zone humide d'importance internationale
A l'occasion de la journée mondiale des zones humides, les ministres chargés de l'écologie et des outre-mer ont annoncé l'inscription de la
région des lacs du Grand Sud néo-calédonien sur la liste des sites Ramsar.
La convention sur les zones humides d'importance internationale, appelée "convention de Ramsar", sert de cadre à l'action nationale et à la
coopération internationale pour la conservation et l'utilisation rationnelle des zones humides et de leurs ressources. La liste des zones humides
d'importance internationale permet de constituer un réseau international de zones humides, avec comme objectif de conserver la diversité
biologique mondiale.

French fall-out over restoration - Colmar - France
Museum’s treatment of Isenheim Altarpiece exposes rifts in French attitudes towards the care of the country’s cultural

Quantitative evaluation of the effect of electrochemical cleaning of silver artifacts
Electrochemical treatments have been in use for cleaning silver artifact for many years. However, there has not been a
systematic study of the effect of these treatments on the surface of the metal and its resistance to re-tarnishing after
treatment. Under the CREMEL project (funded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness), the effect of
different cleaning methods (electrochemical, chemical and mechanical) will be evaluated.
Cleaning treatments will be carried out by professional conservators-restorers, on both metal coupons and real objects,
and will be evaluated using surface characterization techniques (atomic force microscopy, AFM; scanning electron
microscopy, SEM; and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, XPS) and the corrosion rate and base metal removed by different treatments will be
measured gravimetric techniques.

Historic Timber Frames in Seismic Zones
The HISTORIC TIMBER FRAMES IN SEISMIC ZONES was established on 6th November 2013 during the
H.Ea.R.T.2013 technical visit in Mileto (Vv, Italy) by researchers from several world countries interested in
the study of Historic Timber Frames in Seismic Zones. The objectives
are to promote international
cooperation in the field of knowledge and conservation of Historic Timber Frames, providing a
multidisciplinary forum to exchange ideas and experience; coordinating existing studies; promoting further
research activities; promoting training programmes. The activities may include the organization of scientific
conferences, workshops, technical visits, training school and in general initiatives to gather and disseminate knowledge about Historic Timber
Frames in Seismic Zones.

Cleaning of Acrylic Painted Surfaces
Works of art, both two- and three-dimensional, made with modern acrylic paints
can present difficult technical problems for conservators if a cleaning treatment
is necessary. Because of the physical properties and composition of acrylic
paints, dirt or grime can become tenaciously
adhered to the surface. Most
artists' acrylic paints, even when dried and aged, can be very sensitive to
aqueous cleaning solutions, while non-polar organic solvents are often lacking
in cleaning efficacy. In addition, there are a number of areas of uncertainty in the field related to the degree and significance of the effect of
cleaning treatments on the original paint components.

Can Fogarada / Miel Arquitectos - 2012 - Palma de Mallorca - Spain
From the architect. CAN FOGARADA is an exercise of dialog between the layers of time that have been settling
throughout 300 years and that have managed to form this Rural Mallorquin House. The presence of new inhabitants
its announced through a technical carpet that reorganizes the space and reinterprets his materiality without hurting
it.

Cadiz Central Market, Rehabilitation and Extension / Carlos de Riaño Lozano 2010- Cadiz - Spain
From the architect. It is one the first buildings built in Spain to regulate and house the sale of perishable products, until then
in the hands of street vendors. It is a contemporary of the Encarnación market in Seville and the Puerto Real market, and
previous to the markets that were built in Madrid, Barcelona and Santander after 1840. The building is a transition between
the open square and what later would be covered market squares. With that massive inner structure that alienated the
original architecture and hid its values, it was difficult to distinguish the two periods. After going up to the roof, all doubts
were cleared upon seeing four splendid doors, one in each facade, imperceptible from the street level, in a building
overturned to the interior.

Unesco stops unauthorised reconstruction of Bamiyan Buddhas - Afghanistan
Organisation says actions of German archaeologists who have partially rebuilt one of the statues “border on the
criminal”
The international community has reacted furiously to news that a German-led team of archaeologists has been
reconstructing the feet and legs of the smaller of the two Bamiyan Buddhas, the monumental Afghan sculptures blown
up by the Taliban in 2001. News of this reconstruction, which has taken place without Unesco’s knowledge or
permission, was revealed during the 12th meeting of Unesco’s Bamiyan working group, in Orvieto, Italy, in December.
A team of archaeologists from the German branch of Icomos (the International Council on Monuments and Sites), led by Michael Petzet, who
himself served as the head of Icomos from 1999 to 2008, spent most of last year rebuilding the smaller Buddha’s lower appendages with iron
rods, reinforced concrete and bricks, an operation that Francesco Bandarin, Unesco’s assistant director-general for culture, describes as
“wrong on every level”. He says: “Unesco has nothing to do with this project. It was undertaken without the consent of the Afghan government
and has now been stopped.”…

Des « oiseaux de terreur » présents en Europe, il y a 42 millions d’années

Environnement (CNRS/ENS Lyon/ Université Claude Bernard - Lyon 1) et du Laboratoire de Géologie de l’Ecole Normale
Supérieure (CNRS/ENS Paris) montre que les oiseaux géants Phorusrhacidae, jusque là connus sur le continent américain et en
Algérie, ont dû peupler l’Europe pendant un laps de temps sans doute assez bref, il y a environ 42 millions d’années. Cette étude
a été menée sur des spécimens de collection mal identifiés antérieurement, dans le cadre d’un projet du programme de l’INSU du

Un trésor bien caché : existe-il une autre – et inconnue – grotte ornée près de Lascaux ?
En août dernier, le maire de Montignac a reçu la visite d’une habitante de la commune venue lui révéler un
secret gardé depuis 51 ans : en 1962, ses défunts mari et beau-frère ont découvert une cavité, qui, à la
lueur de leur lampe torche, présentait des ornements similaires à ceux de la grotte de Lascaux. Par peur de
se voir saisir le terrain et « pour ne pas être embêtés » lit-on, ils ont rebouché et tut leur trouvaille.
Après avoir fait un temps la sourde oreille, la commune a pris la décision de prendre ce récit en
considération et a commencé des recherches « dans une zone relativement précise », convaincu par le
recoupement d’informations…

Fellowships - 2014 PhD Studentships: Tourism, Wellbeing and Ecosystem Services
This project is an opportunity to produce new collaborative research on how and in what ways tourism, leisure and recreation activities can be a
catalyst for improving human health and wellbeing by using in a symbiotic and sustainable way natural resources and services provided by
ecosystems, as well as exploring the challenges of (e)valuation of such services.
The provision of ecosystem-based cultural services (which include recreation) and their role in supporting key constituents of wellbeing, such
as improved physical and mental health, are some of the least understood aspects of the ecosystem services research agenda…

Sustainability saves costs and attracts eco-intelligent travellers
Tourism has become one of the leading players within the world of international business, featuring a turnover that equals
or, even surpasses that of oil exports, foodstuffs or cars. However, this business must also be sustainable and must respect
the environment. In this respect, today we can witness a growing demand for trips, hotels and means of transport that take
environmental factors into account, with an increasing number of travellers refusing to entrust their trips to brands and
companies that are unable to provide any guarantees in this respect. These individuals are known as eco-intelligent
consumers…

The Micro Geopolitics of (Eco)Tourism: Competing Discourses in New Zealand and Brazil
Lima, Ismar Borges de

This book clearly presents the complex and often contradictory subject of ecotourism. Early on, ecotourism was held in a highly
favorable light as being the ideal alternative to mass tourism. It was purported to have minimal impact on the natural
environment, cultural resources, and indigenous communities while simultaneously it provided economic benefit to local economies. Whereas
ecotourism can and does achieve many of these benefits, which are not mutually exclusive, it is not without its faults because research has
shown that even the low-impact approach of ecotourism can still inflict changes. These changes include physical impacts by visitors to natural
resources such as erosion on trail surfaces, disturbance of fragile cultural resources, disruption and/or displacement of wildlife from their
habitat, and social changes to local indigenous cultures. That said, ecotourism is not necessarily a bad thing. It does provide a means for local
cultures to take advantage of interest in local resources by outside visitors; much of the revenue associated with ecotourism remains at the
point of designation.

Edited by Alexis Catsambis, Ben Ford, and Donny L. Hamilton
ISBN: 9780199336005
Year: 2013
The Oxford Handbook of Maritime Archaeology is a comprehensive survey of the field as seen through the eyes of nearly fifty
scholars at a time when maritime archaeology has established itself as a mature branch of archaeology. This volume draws on
many of the distinct and universal aspects of maritime archaeology, bringing them together under four main themes: the research
process, ships and shipwrecks, maritime and nautical culture, and issues of preservation and management…

Strasbourg : la Neustadt au patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco ?
Tous les recoins de la nouvelle ville de Strasbourg, le quartier de la Neustadt, sont analysés au peigne fin : un audit du
quartier est en cours – il devrait durer jusqu’en 2016 – en vue d’une inscription future au patrimoine mondial de
l’UNESCO…
Alors que la Grande-Île de Strasbourg figure déjà sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’Unesco depuis 1988 –
notamment pour sa cathédrale, son ensemble urbain caractéristique de l’Europe moyenne et son architecture
domestique rhénane des XVe et XVIe siècles -, la ville et la communauté urbaine de Strasbourg ainsi que la Région
Alsace souhaitent maintenant, au terme de cet inventaire, déposer la candidature de cette extension urbaine de la capitale régionale à figurer
sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO…

horizon de vingt ans, soit 2035, c’est-à-dire trois plans sur sept ans. Il est l’instrument d’une politique
partagée entre l’État, les collectivités et les acteurs institutionnels ou associatifs, portant sur le bassin de la Loire…

Un trésor bien caché : existe-il une autre – et inconnue – grotte ornée près de Lascaux ?
World Heritage
En août dernier, le maire de Montignac a reçu la visite d’une habitante de la commune venue lui révéler un
secret gardé depuis 51 ans : en 1962, ses défunts mari et beau-frère ont découvert une cavité, qui, à la
lueur de leur lampe torche, présentait des ornements similaires à ceux de la grotte de Lascaux. Par peur de
se voir saisir le terrain et « pour ne pas être embêtés » lit-on, ils ont rebouché et tut leur trouvaille.
Après avoir fait un temps la sourde oreille, la commune a pris la décision de prendre ce récit en
considération et a commencé des recherches « dans une zone relativement précise », convaincu par le
recoupement d’informations…

Unesco stops unauthorised reconstruction of Bamiyan Buddhas - Afghanistan
Organisation says actions of German archaeologists who have partially rebuilt one of the statues “border on the
criminal”
The international community has reacted furiously to news that a German-led team of archaeologists has been
reconstructing the feet and legs of the smaller of the two Bamiyan Buddhas, the monumental Afghan sculptures blown
up by the Taliban in 2001. News of this reconstruction, which has taken place without Unesco’s knowledge or
permission, was revealed during the 12th meeting of Unesco’s Bamiyan working group, in Orvieto, Italy, in December.
A team of archaeologists from the German branch of Icomos (the International Council on Monuments and Sites), led by Michael Petzet, who
himself served as the head of Icomos from 1999 to 2008, spent most of last year rebuilding the smaller Buddha’s lower appendages with iron
rods, reinforced concrete and bricks, an operation that Francesco Bandarin, Unesco’s assistant director-general for culture, describes as
“wrong on every level”. He says: “Unesco has nothing to do with this project. It was undertaken without the consent of the Afghan government
and has now been stopped.”…

Pakistan's Mohenjo Daro ruins 'threatened by festival'
Conservationists in Pakistan have asked Unesco to stop part of a cultural event being held on a World Heritage
site. The group of scholars and archaeologists say the opening ceremony of the Sindh cultural festival could
damage the ruins of Mohenjo Daro. It is the world's oldest surviving city and dates back to the pre-Hindu Indus
Valley civilisation.
