Book Description
Tous les territoires ont droit à une qualité durable. Ce livre explique comment passer de l'écoquartier à la construction d'une vraie ville durable pour tous; c'est-à-dire une ville qui se distingue par sa qualité environnementale, le plaisir de la vie quotidienne, son charme, son audace, sa diversité d'activités culturelles et économiques - une ville qui sait fabriquer des limites franches avec la nature offrant poésie et rapport à l'incommensurable. L'exemple de Breda est à ce titre éloquent, prouvant aussi que la ville durable est rentable et facteur de dynamique sociale et économique, à condition d'être pragmatique et inventif.

Heritage Regimes and the State
Author: Bendix, Regina
Publisher: Universitätsverlag Göttingen
ISBN: 3863951220
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
What happens when UNESCO heritage conventions are ratified by a state? How do UNESCO’s global efforts interact with preexisting local, regional and state efforts to conserve or promote culture? What new institutions emerge to address the mandate? The contributors to this volume focus on the work of translation and interpretation that ensues once heritage conventions are ratified and implemented. With seventeen case studies from Europe, Africa, the Caribbean and China, the volume provides comparative evidence for the divergent heritage regimes generated in states that differ in history and political organization. The cases illustrate how UNESCO’s aspiration to honor and celebrate cultural diversity diversifies itself. The very effort to adopt a global heritage regime forces myriad adaptations to particular state and interstate modalities of building and managing heritage.

Ground Layers in European Painting 1550-1750
Author: Anne Haack Christensen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781909492790
Category : Painting
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Most of the papers in this volume were presented at the CATS international technical art history conference in June 2019 titled Mobility Creates Masters - Discovering Artists' Grounds 1550-1700, which explored the introduction of, and change to, the colored ground layers in European paintings form the Early Modern period. The title of the conference stemmed from the desire to instigate new research projects within the topic of the influence of artists' mobility on material choices and techniques related to the preparation of paintings. As well as contributions presented at the conference, this volume includes additional papers from recent research exploring the same topic. The volume begins with several studies on the documentation of grounds. The contributions are then arranged according to the country in which the painter was active, from southern Europe moving northwards. The lavishly illustrated contributions in this volume deal with the above questions and shed light on different methods of preparing painting supports, the purpose of preparatory layers, materials used in different countries and influence of shifts in fashion or availability of materials on ground layers. This fifth CATS Proceedings will be of interest to scholars and students, and museum professionals including curators, conservators, art historians and conservation scientists.
