CIPA Heritage Documentation’s Post

The benefits of #erasmusplus is the opportunity to share knowledge with students in different contexts. This is happening next week during my visiting period at Università Iuav di Venezia where I will be hosted by the Department of Architecture and Arts and delivering lectures as part of the Transport Technology and Economics Course. Thanks to Silvio Nocera and Federico Cavallaro for hosting and organising these lectures. University of Malta #transportplanning #transportgeography #landuseplanning #sustainablemobility

CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS | Lossi 36’s first thematic call in 2024 is dedicated to architecture and design across Central Asia, Eastern and Central Europe, the Baltics, the Caucasus, Russia, and Southeast Europe. Did you ever want to write about Soviet architectural heritage in China, Mikheil Saakashvili’s construction projects in Tbilisi, Uzbekistan’s embrace of Soviet mosaics, or the role of socialist art in Germany’s public spaces? Our latest call for contributions is the ideal opportunity to publish your analysis, story, interview, photo series or review in connection to the multifaceted field of architecture in one of Lossi’s regions. Our call for contributions aspires to unearth the myriad of connections of architecture with political economies, cultural discourses, political rivalries, and remembrance culture. Send your ideas, drafts, and article proposals to editors@lossi36.com https://lnkd.in/e4eM6ntt #architecture #sovietarchitecture #journalism #architecturalheritage #design #thematiccall #callforarticles #lossi36 #callforcontributions #socialistarchitecture

3rd event of International Lectures cycle   “Visualizing and Defending Values in Architectural Heritage Changes”  Scientific Chairs: Dr. Raffaella De Marco, PD. Dr. Izabella Parowicz  Organizing Secretariat: Arch. Rola Abu Hilal  Register here: https://lnkd.in/dv5QCfyj   The cycle of lectures intends to address issues on the cultural, social, economic, and archaeological values associated with Architectural Heritage, in particular highlighting the application of digital technologies, from documentation to 3D representation, and the opportunities for dissemination and interaction through #narrativedigitalenvironments. The study theme defines a dynamic framework for in-depth studies and reflections on Cultural Heritage, where history and community contribute to writing a changing vision between #memory and #actuality. In this way, the value and significance of #ArchitecturalHeritage can be consciously directed towards its understanding, sharing and protection by the civil society. The third event is organised on 3 panels: “#Spirituality”, “#Conditionality”, “#Aesthetics”, and features international professors and researchers from Italy, Portugal, Poland, Malta, Cyprus and Iraq. Among the presented research, international projects, research activities and innovative actions between academic and professional sectors for the valorisation and interdisciplinary address of Architectural Heritage protection.    For more information about MOEBHIOS project and the lecture cycle:  https://lnkd.in/dkRCQJCk

“I refer to the state of being a guest as guesthood and claim that existing through this continuous mode of becoming a guest means becoming an infidel to yourself. Guesthood is about being open to the possibility that you are not the sole host of a property, a place, or a territory.”⁠ ⁠ In JAE 78.1 “Auto-Infidelities: A Guest at Home and Beyond,” author Nazlı Tümerdem discusses critical walking as a mobile, performative, and participatory practice employed in spatial research. By reading this essay, readers are prompted to reflect on how they can shift the existing roles and hierarchies of who is the guest and who is the host – through auto-infidelities – as a way to accept the simultaneous existence of manifold worlds, existences, and types of knowledge.⁠ ⁠ ❗️ JAE 78.1 is available to read for FREE with open access through April 30, 2024. Visit https://bit.ly/4dbH9M5 to access the full article. ❗️⁠ ⁠ Image Caption: Critical walking around the highway - as we collectively perform the topography with our bodies, the highway next to us is shortcutting it.

During our course RESEARCH with teenagers, we explore the connection between architecture and people's lives. In one of the recent classes, we examined the relationship between food and the city. How does the cultivation, processing, and sale of food impact the life and landscape of cities and countries? What is the legal status of agriculture in a global context? One of the case studies we discussed was the Spanish Pavilion at the 2023 Architecture Biennale in Venice, titled "FOODSCAPES." It's during adolescence that students begin to show interest in and delve into serious issues, and we aim to unpack these topics, highlight their diversity, and show how architects address them. #architecturalthinking #architecturaleducation #architecturalthinkingschool #architectureforteens

Herrnhut awarded UNESCO World Heritage Status: Research network on the Herrnhut archives 🎉 UNESCO recently declared the #Moravian Church Settlements in the small Saxon town of #Herrnhut a #WorldHeritage Site. In doing so, it honors the teachings and ideologies of this globally active community, which have manifested themselves in landscape #architecture and site planning, for example. 🧑🔬 Did you know that researchers at #TUDresden are working with international partners in the Moravian Knowledge Network to make the archives of the #MoravianChurch accessible and to #research it from different perspectives? 💻 Researchers from different disciplines are coming together here and rediscovering the Moravian #archives individually and together under the auspices of the #DigitalHumanities.

I am glad that my article titled “Participant Observation and Community Design: An Anthropological Inquiry of the Western District Public Cargo Working Area” has been published in the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA) Journal, Issue 79 - Community. The Western District Public Cargo Working Area (WDPCWA), commonly known as Sai Wan Pier or the Instagram Pier, was once celebrated as an exemplar of public space in Hong Kong. The Marine Department has closed the Pier in March 2021 during the pandemic and no public access were further allowed. More precisely, the management department has strictly enforced the rule of entrance. Whilst there are only limited structured urban studies regarding the Pier, this article, extracted from my thesis for the degree of Master in Design Studies at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 2017, is one of these few studies. It analyzes three major aspects observed in the WDPCWA which hopefully could shed light to future community design, namely spatial practice, perception of space and tacit agreement.

IstanbulSMD is organizing the first leg of the international conference series titled "What Does Architecture Do?" in order to emphasize the role, perception and sphere of influence of the architectural profession in the society within the challenging conditions in our country and our surrounding geography. While focusing on the healing role of architecture in our geography where wars and earthquakes are intensely experienced, it also plans to evaluate the needs of humanity in this period in the context of architecture, using the "hierarchy of needs" theory of American psychologist Abraham Maslow. The sessions in the conference program will focus on the basic characteristics of good architecture by looking for at least one of Vitruvius' concepts of "utilitas, firmitas and venustas" that define good architecture. #WhatIsArchitectureFor #MimarlıkNeİşeYarar #Firmitas #Utilitas #Venustas #Vitruvius #DeArchitectura #AbrahamMaslow

New article just published! 🎉 In our last paper "Preventive Preservation of Rammed Earth Historical Heritage Through Continuous Monitoring, Architectural Inspections, and Data Fusion" you will find a comprehensive methodology for the conservation and management of rammed earth historical buildings. It is available open-access!

Recording and interpreting the effects of ancient #earthquakes requires an interdisciplinary partnership, including #archaeology, #architecture, #conservation, #engineering and #seismology among others. Share your work on how knowledge of historic earthquakes can lead to a better understanding of ancient building practices and their influence on cultural heritage by participating in the special session of SAHC 2025: 𝗦𝗦-𝟳: 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗺𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲, 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲-𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀.
