Categoría: Actividades de formación , Noticias

The Icon Book & Paper Group Committee are pleased to be able to bring you a series of live streamed talks while many people are required to stay at home during in these unprecedented times.

The next talk will be Caitline Southwick giving their talk Sustainability and Cultural Heritage: Our Past and Our Future

Overview
Sustainability is a global issue. As realities surrounding climate change and social injustice become more apparent and hit closer to home, people are ready to do something about it. But what does cultural heritage have to do with climate change? How do museums impact social justice? Why do conservators need to learn how to think green in their practice? This webinar will outline what sustainability means to cultural heritage and what unique opportunities the sector has to engage with and promote sustainability – resulting in holistic change and contributing to a sustainable future for all.

About the speaker
Caitlin Southwick (MSc, PD) is the Founder and Executive Director of Ki Culture and Sustainability in Conservation. She has over eight years of international training and experience in the conservation field. Her interest in sustainability derived from her personal passion for the environment and she believes strongly in the duality of conserving cultural heritage and the planet. She is a former professional member of the American Institute for Conservation’s Sustainability Committee and is the current Secretary of the Sustainability Working Group for the International Council of Museums.

Special Issue of Heritage «Effects of Salts on the Conservation of Cultural Heritage: Decay and Measures», deadline 30th June 2021

Etiquetas:

Categoría: Noticias

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your work to this Special Issue of Heritage focused on “Effects of salts on the conservation of Cultural Heritage: decay and measures”. Salt weathering is considered as one of the most frequent and serious problem that affects porous materials used on Cultural Heritage. The damage caused by the presence of soluble salts can endanger, in the case of cultural heritage, the historic-artistic value of the property, since it is a non-renewable resource with unique and irreplaceable value or even put its perpetuation at risk, due to the development in the worse scenarios of structural problems. For this reason, achieve a deep knowledge about the causes that favor the damage caused by this agent, and also knowing and understanding the physical operation and the efficacy of the different techniques that are currently available for salts removal or for minimizing their impact, are both crucial aspects to achieve an effective protection.

According to the above considerations, this Special Issue is based on reviews and researches focused on analysing the different aspects related to the damage that this agent can cause when crystallizing in a material and the strategies or techniques that can reduce or remove their damage. In particular, this Issue covers the following topics of interest:

  • Source of salts.
  • Transport phenomena in porous media.
  • Crystallization pressure in the built environment.
  • Environmental conditions that promote the phase change of salts.
  • Influence of previous surface treatments (for example: consolidation) on the degree of damage caused by salts.
  • Improvements in protocols and procedures of current treatments.
  • New sustainable desalination strategies or techniques.
  • Non-invasive analytical techniques to monitor salt weathering.
  • Case studies dealing with salt weathering and/or their treatment.

This special issue will also be open to other topics, which have not been recorded in the previous points specifically, but are related to the main topic of this issue (salt weathering).

Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 June 2021.

El LIDAR desvela el monumento maya más grande y antiguo hasta la fecha

Etiquetas:

Categoría: Noticias

Al sur de México un grupo de arqueólogos ha dado con el que hasta la fecha es el monumento de la civilización Maya más grande y antiguo jamás descubierto. Con una longitud de 1.413 metros y una anchura de 399 metros, esta estructura ceremonial revela nuevos detalles sobre la civilización del continente americano.

Sin la tecnología LIDAR (Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging) no habría sido posible el descubrimiento de este nuevo monumento maya. Un escaneo aéreo con un láser ha permitido a los investigadores realizar un mapa 3D de lo que se escondía debajo de la superficie en Aguada Fenix, al sur de México y cerca de Guatemala. Es así como han podido identificar la meseta artificial. De hecho, indican que dada su inmensidad y a pesar de estar en una zona poblada, habría sido imposible sin un escaneo aéreo.

El uso del LIDAR de hecho es bastante común desde hace años para analizar la composición del suelo y encontrar posibles estructuras. Sin embargo aún hay muchas áreas por explorar y edificaciones que descubrir.

El estudio ha sido publicado en Nature.

Heritage and Resilience: Building a symbiotic relationship, 4th June, 12:00 pm (Rome, Italy)

Etiquetas:

Categoría: Actividades de formación , Noticias

The concept of resilience has gained significant traction in past few years and applied to various fields. However, there is general lack of clarity about this term, often misused as a jargon. Therefore, while on one hand, we need to understand the term itself, we should also explore it in relation to heritage, especially as we go through COVID pandemic and emerge from it.  The objective of this webinar is to reflect on the symbiotic relationship between heritage and resilience; for building resilience of heritage on one hand and exploring how heritage can contribute towards resilience on the other hand. Through various case examples, a multidisciplinary group of panellists will bring forward multiple perspectives on heritage resilience from ‘cultural, ‘natural’, ‘social’, ‘economic’ and disaster risk’ dimensions. The presentations will further explore the implication of resilience thinking on heritage conservation and management practices.

Programme:

Resilience thinking for cultural heritage: an introduction
Leticia Leitao – Independent Consultant on cultural and natural heritage

Challenges to Natural and Cultural values in the English Lake District
Bill Kenmir – Nature Conservation Professional

Heritage and Resilience: economic questions
Alessio Re – Secretary General, at the Fondazione Santagata for the Economics of Culture

Resilience to Disasters, or Resilient Disasters?
Ksenia Chmutina – Senior Lecturer, Loughborough University

Speakers:

  • Rohit Jigyasu, ICCROM
  • Leticia Leitao, Independent Consultant on cultural and natural heritage
  • Bill Kenmir, Nature Conservation Professional
  • Alessio Re, Secretary General, at the Fondazione Santagata for the Economics of Culture

#HispaniaNostraContigoEnCasa: La historia de España a través de sus objetos, 2 de junio 19:00 -19:55 (GMT+1)

Etiquetas:

Categoría: Actividades de formación , Noticias

Hispania Nostra presenta #HispaniaNostraContigoEnCasa, una iniciativa on-line para aprender y disfrutar el Patrimonio de la mano de grandes profesionales.

Están todos los que son, pero no son todos los que están, ni tendría por qué ser así. En esta presentación me propongo explorar la relación  entre una comunidad emocional, España, y una cultura material que la refleja a través de ciertos objetos característicos.

Se trata de una propuesta abierta a la interpretación. Algunos se identificarán más con unos objetos que con otros y podrán sumar o restar los que quieran. Lo fundamental es que han sido y son vistos como representación de España y de los españoles. Hay edificios, cuadros, instrumentos científicos y aparatos de la vida cotidiana en el hogar, como la fregona. Algunos proceden de la llamada “alta cultura” y otros son “populares”.

Se trata de una selección de una cultura material compartida, sin centros ni periferias. También propongo un análisis en “cómo nos ven” desde fuera, mucho más parecidos de lo que algunos pretenden verse desde dentro.

Ponente: Manuel Lucena Giraldo del Instituto de Historia del CSIC.
