MINGLE WITH THE DUTCH NETWORK

-

Starting today I join a seven months online training called Erfgoedparticipatie-lab (the Heritage Participation Lab) organized by Erfgoed Academie (Heritage Academy) in the Netherlands. This training aims to support the implementation of the Faro Convention. It means to encourage a sense of belonging of heritage and participation of the European society in heritage practices. 

I am excited to join the training because it is a relatively new network for me, and it is about the heritage of Europe, especially the Netherlands.

The experiment was lead by Cornelis van Eesteren, the pioneer of modern architecture in the Netherlands. The reality showed that some...

Jadi tidak semata-mata dan sama sekali bukan untuk nostalgia. Jika memang niat ada banyak cara untuk mempertahankan bangunan lama dan mengkombinasikannya dengan bangunan baru. Dengan cara ini pelestarian pusaka dan pembangunan baru secara simultan terakomodasi. Solusi seperti ini umumnya disebut Infill Development . Definisinya menurut BUILD, is the economic use of vacant land, or restoration or rehabilitation of existing structures or infrastructure, in already urbanized areas where water, sewer, and other public services are in place, that maintains the continuity of the original community fabric.
