Interesting historic preservation situation (or lack thereof): https://lnkd.in/etp7wH9Y

#CulturalHeritage buildings’ preservation requires specific interventions. To determine the most suitable actions, a categorization system based on #tangibility can be used. The methodology, created by #INHERIT_eu partner STICHTING ISSO, enables the estimation of the value of historic buildings and monuments.

Indigenous Knowledge Exemption Proposal: Last month, I visited Hawaii to speak with Native Hawaiian leaders and visit sites (on Oahu and Maui) of cultural and religious significance to Native Hawaiians. Those conversations demonstrated the potential - actually, the need - for the ACHP to expeditiously implement our recently-adopted Policy Statement on Indigenous Knowledge and Historic Preservation by addressing challenges sometimes experienced during the ACHP's regulatory process (known as "Section 106"). After consultation with ACHP members and Hawaiian leaders, I have proposed an Exemption to Section 106 for Indigenous Knowledge-Informed Activities by Native Hawaiian Organizations (NHOs). ACHP has only issued an Exemption four times in its history - and this one charts new ground by exempting cultural preservation activities, as opposed to objects/methods (like electric vehicle charging stations, also recently exempted). That's why we need your feedback on the draft linked below. Though I've heard some say that they've been waiting decades (!!) for the federal government to do something like this, I feel strongly that time is of the essence. Thanks to the ACHP's Reno Franklin Reid Nelson Ira Matt & Bill Dancingfeather for significant efforts to move this forward. We look forward to your input.

We are excited to unveil a new suite of projects from our 2023 Request for Proposals, aimed at integrating Indigenous Knowledge into ocean and coastal decision-making. Historically, the traditional knowledge of Indigenous Peoples has been overlooked, impeding effective conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems. These projects seek to bridge this gap, focusing on the identification, analysis, and communication of Indigenous Knowledge where culturally appropriate. By fostering innovative engagement approaches, we aim to enhance marine ecosystem management through a collaborative and respectful inclusion of Indigenous traditions and wisdom. https://lnkd.in/g3Amde72

Local opinion: Historic preservation work vital to Tucson https://buff.ly/4esXVHh

It is no secret that I am against the neoliberalisation of land as property and for collective stewardship. This would solve the housing crisis, the biodiversity crisis, climate change, etc. Back in 2019, when I was busy forming a new political party in Romania, my ideas on land use caused a national scandal, leading the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung to describe me as "one of the heroes of a new property policy and a new social contract". Exaggerated, of course, but here I would like to emphasise how my existence - both under dictatorship in Romania and under neo-liberalism in Belgium, but also as an architect and politician - is intertwined with land use. KoozArch has just published the translation of "Reconfiguring Land: From building shift to culture shift", an article I wrote for Ruimte/Vlaamse Vereniging voor Ruimte en Planning (VRP) in 2023. You can find the link below. Thank you, Jan Vilain, for allowing this publication. #landuse #stewardship #newpropertypolicy #newsocialcontract #architecting &bogdan

A new post from ibeckermannotrobot.blog. https://lnkd.in/ezS_GeAt The NPS has put out a revision to Bulletin 38 for comment. This draft greatly expands the guidance offered to nominating historic places that are important to traditional communities, but it is hampered by limits imposed by existing legislation and regulation.  Nominated places must still fulfill all current existing standards for significance and integrity. The authors have also exposed a problem with the entire construct of a traditional cultural place.  The guidance fails to show how it should stand separate from other historic places, resulting in a false dichotomy. The immediate answer is to update 36CFR60 to be more in tune with the intent and ever evolving understanding of the National Historic Preservation Act.
