Twentieth Century World Heritage:

The symposium will be divided into two thematic sections. In part one, the speakers will present the 20th-century architectural heritage on the World Heritage List, its state of conservation and conservation challenges, as well as the mechanisms under the World Heritage Convention, including the evaluation of new proposals and a reflection on new 20th-century heritage sites. The baselines and methodology for impact assessments in a world heritage context were designed based on the recently published guidance document, which was prepared jointly by ICCROM, ICOMOS, and IUCN, and will also be presented at the event. The second part of the symposium will be dedicated to the exchange of practices and experience in the implementation of the assessments in Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and other countries. Experts will present the application of the assessment mechanism in the strategic reflection on spatial development, guidance on contemporary interventions into heritage sites or their immediate vicinity, and in decision-making on architectural projects.
