Introduction and Themes “Young people are the future, and
led by their teachers they’ll have the heavier and heavier
responsibility to stand up to the past heritage with the sensibility,
attention and respect that we must teach them today.” The 11th International Seminar
"Forum UNESCO - University and Heritage" organised by the
University of Florence, Italy, will introduce research works conducted on
documentation and valorization of the architectonic assets. It will also
include documentation of tangible and intangible cultural heritage as well as
of museology. Scientific knowledge, work and
documentation about architecture and urban environment, the relationship with
territory, as well as tangible and intangible heritage, become formidable
tools to the comprehension and exploitation of the universe of data and signs
given by history and culture, regarding in substance human life that found
and takes place in a certain geographic area. The implementation of academic
programmes constitute the fundamental basis for fulfilment of critical and
explanatory activities, linked to the creation and development of a specific
settlement, city or territory, while they concur to the expectation of the
required planning interventions for preservation and exploitation with the
main purpose of supporting the human activities. The purpose of this Seminar is to make
a comparison between the experiences implemented in scientific context, that
let the setting-up of working methods usable in research for a proper
comprehension of architecture, of historical and archaeological sites, of
urban environment and of the whole territory, as well as historical, cultural
and environmental contexts under research, with the final result of obtaining
essential instruments for a critical reading and careful evaluation of
preservation and restoration actions in these fields. “To protect and treasure the
genius loci means in fact embodying the essence in still new historical
context. We can also say that a place history should be its
“self-fulfilment”. Christian Norberg-Schulz |
