Photo story: New life for avant-garde buildings from Russia and Ukraine

The EU Neighbourhood Info Centre has released a photo story highlighting the achievements of an EU-funded project in preserving valuable early twentieth century urban heritage in the cities of Moscow and Kyiv.
See webpage
  

‘A new lease of life for avant-garde buildings from Russia and Ukraine’ follows the work of the Save Urban Heritage project funded under the CIUDAD programme.

The 1.30-minute video spotlights the activities of the project, which helps Moscow and Kyiv preserve their architectural heritage, by giving a new lease of life to neglected avant-garde buildings.

The photo story is based on a feature article published by the Info Centre last year.

It was put together using photos taken for the Info Centre, illustrating the activities of the project, with music and background information. The photos are also available in a special Photo gallery on the EU Neighbourhood Info Centre website. 

The video is the latest in a series of resources illustrating EU support for culture in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood, released as culture ministers meet in Tbilisi for the first Eastern Partnership Ministerial Conference on Culture today. Other material includes a press pack and an interview with the team leader of the Eastern Partnership Culture programme. (EU Neighbourhood Info)

L'Aqueduc Médicis. Des sources de Rungis aux fontaines de Paris. Berthier, Karine & Housieaux, Pierre. 56 pages, 86 illustrations. ISBN-9782757206461. Summary in French: "L’année 2013 verra le 400e anniversaire de l’aqueduc Médicis construit sur ordre de Marie de Médicis afin d’amener à Paris les eaux de sources captées à Rungis et aux alentours. Sur le trajet de l’aqueduc, il reste aujourd’hui vingt-quatre regards en pierres de taille qui disposent tous d’un bassin de décantation, d’ouvertures d’aération (prenant parfois l’aspect d’une lanterne) et d’escaliers rejoignant la surface. L’eau de l’aqueduc arrivait à Paris dans le regard XXVII, ou « maison du Fontainier ». La bâtisse est d’abord utilisée pour loger les fontainiers et répartir l’eau entre le roi, le peuple et l’entrepreneur. Elle permet ensuite de stocker l’eau qui, à partir de là, alimente douze fontaines publiques rive gauche et deux fontaines rive droite. Compte tenu de l’intérêt historique de ce patrimoine et de son caractère régional, la Région Île-de-France a décidé de participer à ce projet de publication et de l’accueillir dans la collection « Parcours du patrimoine".

Conserving architecture: Planned conservation of XX Century Architectural Heritage

Conservare l'architettura: Conservazione programmata per il patrimonio architettonico del XX secolo. A cura di Andrea Canziani


The Planned Conservation is the ability to see the Cultural Heritage over time and to govern its transformations. Knowledge, prevention, control, operations planning, replace the idea of restoration as a defensive action aimed to prevent any changes with the idea of conservation as a co-evolution between humans and heritage.

The practice of preventive and planned conservation are presented as a strategic move to preserve the architectural heritage of the twentieth century. Modern heritage is particularly vulnerable to risks of accelerated deterioration due to material, formal and technological characteristics. Control and cure, indeed, are the most effective defense of its authenticity.

The essays in this volume present ideas, researches and international cases related to the conservation of buildings and sites of modernity. It outlines a framework that reveals different cultural contexts of protection and unpublished lines of continuity and consistency.
Reflections on the legal and regulatory frameworks, on social and cultural impacts, on sustainability and economic efficiency, on the role of knowledge, diagnostics and monitoring, highlight the potential related to the transition from restoration as an exceptional occurrence to conservation as knowledge and constant care.

The volume contains also the contributions presented in October 2009 at the International Conference “Planned Conservation of XXth Century Architectural Heritage” promoted by the Municipality of Como within the CARIPLO Foundation’s project "Spreading innovative methodologies for Planned Conservation of historic architectural heritage”.
The conference was conducted with the support of:
