On the occasion of its 15th general assembly, ICOMOS (the International Council on Monuments and Sites) has chosen the theme “Monuments and sites in their environment- preserving World Heritage in evolving towns and landscapes”.
ICOMOS is a non-governmental organisation of professionals who
work all over the world in the conservation of monuments and
historic sites. ICOMOS is a forum for professionals to exchange
information, and one of its functions is to gather, evaluate and
diffuse information on the principles, techniques and politics of
conservation.
Unlike objects in a collection, an archive or works of art
which can be conserved in buildings dedicated to the task, and
which facilitate conservation in a suitable environment - such as
historic buildings, old towns, gardens, archaeological sites and
large collections - have to be evaluated alongside their immediate
surroundings. These surroundings contribute to and are part of the
value of these heritage sites.
