Nouvelle publication de l'INP: "Les grands chantiers de restauration"

Les grands chantiers de restauration en Europe
Actes du colloque organisé par l’INP les 28 et 29 juin 2007, en partenariat avec le C2RMF, le LRMH et le CRCC

L’Institut national du patrimoine vient de publier, en coédition avec Somogy Editions d’Art, Les grands chantiers de restauration en Europe.
Le colloque, organisé en juin 2007, proposait une réflexion sur les chantiers de grande envergure qui ont permis la restauration de monuments, de sites archéologiques ou industriels, de fresques, de grands décors ou de grandes collections, dans différents pays européens.
Cet ouvrage permet ainsi de redécouvrir des oeuvres et des monuments exceptionnels du patrimoine européen, auxquels la restauration a permis de donner une seconde vie : l’église gothique Notre-Dame du Sablon à Bruxelles, la reconstruction de Dresde, la place Stanislas à Nancy, les salles d’apparat des Habsbourg dans le palais de l’Albertina à Vienne, les bains ottomans d’Omeriye à Nicosie, les peintures murales dans l’église supérieure de la basilique Saint- François à Assise…
La mise en lumière de ces importants travaux de restauration doit réaffirmer la nécessité d’une véritable politique de sauvegarde et de valorisation d’un patrimoine commun.

Stonehenge - World Heritage Site Management Plan 2009

The Stonehenge World Heritage Site Management Plan 2009 is available online at the following address:
http://http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/daysout/properties/stonehenge/world-heritage-sites/stonehenge-management-plan

The Stonehenge World Heritage Site Management Plan provides a strategy to conserve and manage the Site for present and future generations. It covers the whole World Heritage Site landscape (more than 2,600 hectares around Stonehenge). Based on a detailed assessment of the significance of the Site and of the management issues, the Plan outlines long-term aims, short to medium term policies and a detailed action plan.

The aim of the Management Plan is to sustain for present and future generations the Outstanding Universal Value of the World Heritage Site: its outstanding prehistoric monuments and archaeological landscape. The Plan takes into account other issues such as access, nature conservation, farming, education, research and the needs of the local community.

The first Stonehenge World Heritage Site Management Plan was published in 2000. A revised plan was published in 2009 after extensive consultation with landowners, the local community, statutory bodies and other interested parties. Its preparation was led by English Heritage on behalf of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site Committee, a steering group of stakeholders. The Management Plan is recognised by all parties as the overarching strategy for the sustainable management of the World Heritage Site.
