Bringing Art Nouveau heritage back to life: theory and practice in restoration Calenda - Espaces 2024-07-02 https://buff.ly/4crkbQm The Réseau Art Nouveau Network is an European network for the study, protection and promotion of Art Nouveau heritage. 2024 also mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of the UNESCO Declaration of Turin, which established the guidelines for the practice and theory of restoring this heritage, infull respect of its material specificities. The punctuality of the analysis underpinning this declaration has not preserved it from oblivion. Having recalled the main assumptions of the Venice Charter, we would like to understand why 30 years after its publication the need was felt to draw up a code of intervention specifically dedicated to Art Nouveau. We would also like the conference to be an opportunity to clarify, through concrete examples, the critical fortune of the two UNESCO documents, aware that their implementation in Europe is not always systematic.

🌍 Today, on World Heritage Day, we are proud to highlight our project—a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to safeguarding and protecting Europe's rich coastal and underwater cultural heritage. As climate change accelerates and natural hazards become increasingly frequent, our historical sites, especially those located along coastlines or submerged under water, face unprecedented threats. These sites are not only treasures of archaeological and historical significance but are also crucial for the cultural identity and heritage of communities across Europe. 🛡️ The Thetida project is at the forefront of addressing these challenges. By employing advanced technologies and innovative methodologies, Thetida aims to monitor, analyze, and ultimately protect these vulnerable sites from the damaging effects of environmental changes and human impact. Today, let's renew our commitment to preserving our shared heritage. By protecting these sites, we are not only honoring our past but also ensuring that future generations can enjoy and learn from these wonders. Let's stand together to protect our heritage against the tide of climate change. Happy World Heritage Day! Ps.
