This book is great. I loved it from the first sentence; the style, the characters, the zany imaginings. I am reading it again now to pay special attention to the language because I so was intent on the characters and their bizarre stories I did not pay enough attention the first time around. I am enjoying it again. Amazon Giveaway allows you to run promotional giveaways in order to create buzz, reward your audience, and attract new followers and customers.

It sets out the discussions conducted above all in the early s within ICOMOS concerning an extension, expansion and rewording of the Venice Charter, which can only marginally do justice to urban ensembles. The continuing risk to historic old towns is reflected in the most recent international policy papers, the Valletta Principles and the UNESCO recommendation on the historic urban landscape of The international intentions, i.
However, they do not replace the international conventions on the protection of cultural property, monuments and world heritage. This final resolution of a private congress neither became part of an international treaty under international law nor is it a law itself. However, the Venice Charter continues to be one of the essential intellectual bases for the implementation of monument conservation, without for instance there being an express reference to the Charter in German monument conservation legislation.
For a long time, it contained the only globally acknowledged formulation of monument conservation and monument protection principles e. In this sense, the Venice Charter is thus itself a standard within the meaning of Art. The European Union internal market comprises a region without internal borders in which the free movement of goods, persons, services and capital is guaranteed.
Its effects are for this reason of significance also for museums and monument conservation. Examples include in particular the Heating places of worship guidelines EN , the Terminology standard EN and the Conservation of cultural property EN Monument protection and monument conservation must therefore ensure an active presence within the European standardisation process — in order both to determine and to protect!

The country has only had a separate Monument Conservation Office since , while the law on monument conservation dates from and contains a number of provisions inspired by the Charter of Venice. The Charter is also used by monument conservation associations in order to argue against changes to and the demolition of historical buildings. The Charter was also referred to in the Luxembourg press during a number of prominent disputes concerning the preservation of building substance.
The Minister of Culture has announced an amendment act for It is expected that the new law will also be based on the Charter of Venice. The Temple of Apollo in Didyma in Asia Minor has for a century been an object of archaeological monument conservation — and at the same time an early 20th century reconstruction. Frequently, excavations of ancient architectural elements have been associated with the desire for reconstruction in order to recreate the spatial experience of ancient spaces. Article 15 of the Charter provides instructions for action directed at archaeological sites.
The term acquired its monument conservation aspect around at the Acropolis in Athens. The approach there had an effect on the development of monument conservation theory including the Athens Charter.

Bernhard Hebert From Winckelmann and Riegl to Venice and La Valletta — Expectations and Implementation in Archaeology A Rilke sonnet and a text by Winckelmann on torsos serve as access to considerations on the pioneering role of archaeology in the acceptance of the fragmentary. Notions of the autonomous work of art and its fragmentation resulting from the passage of time are just as frequent in the archaeology of the 17th and 18th centuries as the distinction between original substance and additions by Winckelmann. This would, however, lead to the loss of the effect of the archaeological fragment on the observer described so pointedly by Rilke and Winckelmann.
Jan Raue Design and Restoration. The Venice Charter and the Reconstruction of and Additions to the New Museum in Berlin Since it was adopted in , the Venice Charter has, in the awareness of monument conservationists, been an anchor for their activity. Nevertheless, it is subject to different interpretations and at times is used in contradictory arguments. In most European countries, access to the conservation and restoration professions is only possible via a university degree.
What has been the effect of this increased status on such an ambitious monument project as the New Museum in Berlin? The architects found a particularly original approach by adopting conservatory principles and exploiting their added aesthetic value to the full. The extremely positive aspect was that it proved possible to preserve an unusually large amount of the original substance. What needs to be discussed is the fact that many structural elements which had previously been invisible have today become part of the design and implementation.
In the individual case of the New Museum, this is a successful and highly regarded innovation, but it is not a model to be copied wholesale for most monument conservation tasks to be solved. The values communicated through conservation and restoration provide more complex stimuli for dealing with monuments that need to be sounded out further.

After the parish church, in disregard of the recommendations of the Imperial-Royal Central Commission, was subjected to a comprehensive neo-Gothic restyling in the course of a renovation in the late 19th century, a condition that was respected in the restoration, the aim of the —75 restoration was to radically return the church to the Romanesque style.
The Romanesque crypt that this restoration and returning work discovered and laid open was given a flat continuous concrete ceiling that is clearly different from the historical inventory. At the same time, the high quality of its design allows conclusions to be made about the time of its creation against the background of the Charter of Venice. The thoroughly harmonious appearance of the interior of the church, in contrast, is not so obvious to the present visitor in terms of its genesis. The interior of the church is characterised by structural elements, decoration fragments and spatial forms of obvious historical value.
Its overall cool, orderly and restrained appearance, however, is confusing in the light of the great age of this building. The new restoration of the interior of the church —14 aims to respect the restoration of the s, a task that can only succeed if the restoration decisions of the s are correctly understood and interpreted. A Case Example 20 years ago, following a fire in August , one of the longest and probably oldest 13th century roofed timber pile bridges with paintings from the early 17th century was rebuilt, but with a deliberately incomplete inventory of paintings.

The Lucerne Chapel Bridge is an original construction that is being permanently maintained, but of which large parts have also been replaced. However, for almost years, it has been the location for the display of triangular wooden panel paintings. The programme of paintings was selected by the state authorities in accordance with the Counter-Reformation, and was financed by the families of the town councillors.
It continues today to be a bridge with an external effect within the public space, going far beyond the city itself, a worldwide attraction for tourists. Preservation, maintenance and replacement were difficult not only in the light of the extreme meteorological conditions with fluctuating water levels, floods, wind and the weather but also because it is in daily use as a pedestrian bridge across the Reuss for locals and thousands of tourists alike.

The new bridge timber is gradually darkening, but nevertheless the effects of the fire are reflected in the large gaps in the paintings. The principles of the Venice Charter have determined the reconstruction and the treatment of the bridge to date, the bridge and the surviving original paintings being monitored, documented, conserved and only in the extreme case restored — using reversible materials and techniques. A campaign was started to replace the missing paintings that had been destroyed by fire with copies of lower quality. The question arises of the extent to which the principles of the Venice Charter can prevail in the light of the public discourse.
The charters and fundamental texts created over the course of time were mostly first written in French, later in English.

Thus many members have no direct access to them. In addition, years ago the wish was expressed of producing a quasi-official generally binding translation and making it available to the corresponding national committees: The work was difficult over long stretches, but extremely interesting.
Specifically, the definitive French and English versions of various documents differ considerably. This series is gradually intended to become a platform for the exchange between the German-speaking committees. Volume II already constitutes a step in this direction.
