Le Palacio Bellas Artes a vu le jour en 1914, à San Sebastian, en Espagne. C'est l'un des exemples existant les plus récents de palace du cinéma construit volontairement dans le Pays Basque et dans toute l'Espagne. Sa riche valeur architecturale, culturelle et sociale est une partie vitale de l'histoire de San Sebastian, ce qui la amené à être reconnu par les autorités et protégé en tant que patrimoine culturel de rang 1 dans le plan général de San Sebastian de 1995. Le Palacio Bellas Artes a égalementété déclaré "BIC Bien d'Intérêt Culturel" dans la partie Monument par le gouvernement basque (Ordre du 4 mars 2015, BOPV du 6 mars). Cela aurait dû suffire pour protégerle bâtiment, mais malheureusement, les conditions physiques, économiques et politiques qui entourent cet emblème espagnol ont changé ces dernières années et le bâtimentse retrouve aujourd’hui sévèrement menacé.
Le Comité scientifique international sur le patrimoine du XXe siècle (ISC20C) a publié une alerte de patrimoine international concernant la menace de démolition du Viking Ship Hall à Roskilde, au Danemark.
Vikingeskibshallen (Salle des navires vikings) est un chef-d’œuvre de l’architecture danoise moderne. C'est une structure unique qui intègre de manière créative le musée, le décor et l'archéologie d'une manière qui va au-delà des définitions historiques. Le Viking Ship Hall a été construit en 1967-1968 et a été le premier bâtiment moderne inscrit pour la protection au Danemark en 1998.

ICOMOS International invites you to read and share the Statement of Concern by ICOMOS Lebanon regarding the Commemorative steles of Nahr el-Kalb, Mount Lebanon:
The Palacio Bellas Artes was built in 1914 in San Sebastian, Spain. It is one of the earliest extant examples of a purpose-built movie palace left in the Basque Country and in all of Spain. Its rich architectural, cultural and social history are a vital part of the history of San Sebastian which was acknowledged by its being listed as Grade I cultural heritage in the Master Plan of San Sebastian in 1995. It was also declared as an "Inventor Cultural Property" with a Monument category by the Basque Government by an Order on March 4, 2015 (BOPV of March 6). This should have been enough to protect the building. Unfortunately, both the physical and political conditions surrounding this landmark have changed in recent years and the building is now severely threatened.
The International Scientific Committee on Twentieth Century Heritage (ISC20C) has released an International Heritage Alert regarding the threatened demolition of the Viking Ship Hall in Roskilde, Denmark.
Vikingeskibshallen (The Viking Ship Hall) is a masterwork of modern Danish architecture. It is a unique structure that creatively integrates museum, setting and archaeology in a way that transcends historic definitions. The Viking Ship Hall was built in 1967-68 and was the first late modern building to be listed for protection in Denmark in 1998.
The ICOMOS Europe Group at its annual meeting in Helsinki was very surprised to learn that the Norwegian Government is upholding its decision to demolish the Y-Block in the Norwegian Government Quarter, in spite of strong international, national and local opposition. In their declaration, the Europe Group strongly urges the Norwegian Government to reconsider its position and seek alternative solutions, respecting the universal values of the Y-Block.
26 October 2016
On 26 October 2016, a demonstration was held in front of the Y-block to protest its demolition. Musicians performed and protestors gathered around the building. Despite their efforts, State Secretary Paul Chaffey announced later that evening that the decision of demolishing would stand. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage suggested as an ultimate solution that the North wing be demolished, leaving the curve around the H-block intact.
