Le béton, matériau emblématique du vingtième siècle architectural, émerge peu à peu comme vecteur de valeur patrimoniale. Mélange à haute valeur technique, symbole d’une transition industrielle et sociale, panseur des après-guerres, esthétique et controversé, partout le béton s’incarne en biens singuliers ou se déploie en vrai paysage culturel, comme dans les cités franciliennes et sur les flancs de la vallée grenobloise.

Ce patrimoine est sujet à diverses détériorations que scientifiques et architectes s’attèlent à résoudre, au travers de démarches variées et d’innovations techniques d’importance.

Nourri des échanges tenus lors des journées scientifiques —dans le cadre de la célébration 200 ans de béton à Grenoble— des 23 et 24 novembre 2018, ICOMOS France livre dans cet ouvrage une rétrospective des origines du béton depuis ses ancrages et ses usages en Isère, et fait le point sur les progrès importants accomplis au regard de la connaissance des pathologies et de la finesse des modes de conservation/restauration (en Europe et en outremer), vingt ans après la publication des actes du colloque de référence tenu dans la ville emblématique du Havre.

ISSN : 0297-3189

While there is an increasing distance between political discourse and citizen expression, consulting and debating before taking any public decision is already considered a necessary obligation in France when it comes to environment issues. Public participation to measures to protect and manage the heritage that forms our cultural heritage and common good is becoming the rule.
How to meet this obligation of consultation? Which methods should be used in order to guarantee a constructive dialogue between heritage stakeholders and to reduce the distance between the knowledge of the experts summoned and the views of users supported by many activist associations?
Diverse consultation mechanisms implemented in response to a diversity of heritage objects reflect new forms of citizen involvement: properties inscribed on the World Heritage List, historic centres, natural sites or landscapes...

Preserving Your way My wayICOMOS Portugal 
Preserving transcultural heritage: Your way or my way? Questions on authenticity, identity and patrimonial proceedings in the safeguarding of architectural heritage created in the meeting of cultures. Actes du colloque tenu à Lisbonne, 5-8 juillet 2017, organisé par ARTIS | Institute of History of Art, the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon and ICOMOS portugal. Rodrigues dos Santos, joaquim (ed.). Casal de Cambra, Portugal, Caleidoscópio, 2017. 963 p., illus., bibl.

ISBN 978-989-658-467-2

The globalization that began centuries ago with trade, technology, culture, politics and military exchanges between different people, increasing progressively its intensity until our days, became originator of a heritage created exactly in the meeting of cultures. This new transcultural heritage (or hybrid heritage) presents a whole range of different complexities that makes more or less complicated its safeguarding and preservation for coming generations. 
Questions concerning the safeguarding of this kind of heritage involve a vast set of themes: the intense polemic about the preservation of architectural structures, whose memory can allude symbolically to cultures
considered as oppressors; the debate on authenticity, generated by confrontations between patrimonial values coming from cultures involved in the creation of each particular transcultural heritage – which could differ substantially, and therefore should be taken in consideration in the moment to decide how to act to preserve
that heritage –; the problematic related to migratory fluxes; the ideological instrumentalisation of architectural heritage; the touristic mercantilization of cultural monuments; and several other related themes, demanding the increment of the debate on them.
