- 2. Historic preservation • Thechallenges of preservation are clear, and the solutions are challenging. • The important work ofpreserving the missions is underway , but much more needs to be done. • Time, technology and money must be devoted to ensuring the historical integrity of these centuries-old missions. · .
- 3. Historic preservation Carefuland appropriate repairs are expensive and mandatory for historically accurate preservation and adherence to government standards for historic properties.
- 4. Historic preservation • 3ways to enforce historic preservation guide lines i. Aesthetic regulations, such as design, review guide lines ii. Administrative/management/ techniques iii. Economic incentives • In addition to time, technology and money the following could be the main challenges and risk of preserving historical heritages. Risk of historical heritage 1,primary risks 2,secondary risks · .
- 5. • Cultural heritageis affected by primary risks, that is, direct damage from the natural disaster • Infrastructure repair or replacement (e.g., road widening) disregards or encroaches up on cultural assets. • Temporary camps are sited without regard to cultural heritage concerns. • Illegal and uncontrolled relocation and reconstruction spoil heritage landscapes or damage other assets • Financial assistance policies encourage demolition of heritage buildi ngs. Historic preservation primary risks
- 6. Cultural heritageis also threatened by secondary risks that arise during recovery and reconstruction, including: rescue and relief measures that are carried out with no regard heritage value of damaged areas (e.g., water damage from fire fighting and debris removal with no regard to heritage value); looting of heritage buildings; and reuse of cultural and natural heritage resources as fuel, food, and reconstruction materials. Historic preservation secondary risks
- 7. Group assignment • Writeand compare the relation and difference of Venice charter and Athens charter. ( not exceeds a paper ) (15 point)
- 8. • The culturaland natural heritage criteria help to define ‘out-standing universal value’ and have been revised over time to adapt to changing interpretations of this concept. • The key message of the Convention – the need to preserve and transmit cultural and natural heritage of ‘outstanding universal value’ to future generations
- 9. The World heritageDanger List • Placing a site on the Danger List is a way of signaling to the international community the gravity of the risks in order to facilitate support and actions to safeguard the site. • objective of the Committee is therefore to provide direct and indirect support to sites on the Danger List, and gradually to re-establish normality. • This process has been resoundingly successful in a number of cases – for example at the cultural heritage sites of the Old City of Dubrovnik (Croatia)and of Timbuktu (Mali), or of the natural heritage sites of Iguazu / Iguaçu National Park (Argentina and Brazil) and Yellowstone (United States).

- 12. List of WorldHeritage in Danger • Sites are inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger for a variety of reasons, including natural catastrophes, impact of urbanization and damage arising from conflict.
- 13. OVERVIEW OF THECONVENTION • 1. Strengthen the ‘CREDIBILITY’ of the World Heritage List, as a representative and geographically-balanced testimony of cultural and natural properties of outstanding universal value; • 2. Ensure the effective CONSERVATION of World Heritage properties; • 3. Promote the development of effective CAPACITY-BUILDING measures, including assistance for preparing the nomination of properties to the World Heritage List, for the understanding and implementation of the World Heritage Convention and related instruments and; • 4. Increase public awareness, involvement and support for World Heritage through COMMUNICATION.

- 18. The relation betweencultural heritage and vernacular architecture
- 19. GENERAL OVERVIEW DEFINITION Architecture thatmakes use of common regional know how forms and materials at a particular place and time. Modest , unassuming, unpretentious, indigenous, non elite /common/, domestic building practice. Characteristics • Often Owner-built • Local material • Local building customs and techniques • Responsive to contextual factors e.g regional climatic conditions Often transforms into a mixture of traditional and current influences Strongly linked with ethnic as well as joint visual identity

- 29. SAMPLES NORTHERN VERNACULAR AFAR TIGRAY AMHA RA THEAMHARA The tukul or sarbet is the prevalent housing typology. The structure uses simple building techniques and excellent use of natural resources Procedure of construction 1) first a circle with a diameter of 2.7- 3m in diameter is drawn. Poles are placed in the ground about 90 cm apart along the circumference 2) The walls are filled with flexible upright poles set close together and stuck in the ground. rope is used to tie supports to the side of the wall. The eaves project a minimum of 30 cms and might extend to become the veranda. 3) More supports are added to the roof and tied with rope and the roofing material (samba lit) is used.

After plastering is finished, a door is built and installed and two holes are put in the wall to allow sunlight to come in. 5) The interior is designed according to the use, living quarters, kitchen, stable , storage or maybe as a combination of all these.

The house is distinct from other tukul in its oval (rather than hemi –spherical shape.) The height of the hut sometimes exceeds 8 m but is usually not less than 6m The hut is then replaced after sufficient bamboo is connected. The average d- 7-8m The plan layout of the chencha house has two distinct areas separated by a Bamboo partition approximately 2m high The back portion of the hut appears to Serve as a kind of store All other activities are carried out in the front. The hut is wather tight with a small smoke outlet.

This portion starts from the floor, continues on both sides and gradually tapers off at the top, giving the impression of gigantic nose appended at the hut The area created by this nose serves as a kind of entrance hall to the main enclosure. Layers of leaves are placed outside the framework of the hut

The central pole is erected with the roof frame on top whose bamboo extensions are joined to the walls and continued to the floor. The weaving of the outer wickerwork is done axially from the bottom to thee top The entrance is cut out from the wickerwork and placed on posts creating a small porch and a door is constructed along the void
