We have been crunching the numbers on the industrial heritage survey that we have been doing for Historic England and The Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust. Some headlines from our work so far… - 48% of sites are owned by a preservation trust or society; 25% are in local authority ownership - 45% of sites are accredited museums - On average each site spent £192,163 on repairs and maintenance over the last three years - 53% of sites had found it ‘quite difficult’ to secure public sector funding in the last three years; only 40% had sought sought private sector support - The majority of volunteers are over 65 years old; 74% of sites said they found it ‘fairly difficult’ or ‘very difficult’ to attract new volunteers, and especially young volunteers - Over 40 million people visited independent designated industrial heritage sites during the last three years, the majority of whom were non-specialist family audiences Still lots more to unravel — but a mixed picture, with lots of scope for future development. The full report will be out later in the summer, and we will do a more comprehensive update in the next few weeks.

I love Islamic post century Design. The four basic components of Islamic ornament are calligraphy, vegetal patterns, geometric patterns, and figural representation.

🏛️ Heritage museum reconstruction project requirements are full of contradictions! 🔳 🔲 ⚫️ Design an appealing space - new space, new horizons ⚪️ Design a neutral space - the exhibit takes center stage ⚫️ Intervening - conteporary exhibitions demand contemporary spaces ⚪️ Not intervening - the curent structure are under strict protection! ⚫️ Expanding capacities for museum exhibits and storage ⚪️ Staying within the size limits - expansion is not possible due to heritage protection Finiding a solution means playing for "both teams". In the case of the project we are currently working on, the "circulation scheme" was one of many spacial studies that confirmed the plan is "working." ⬆➡⬇⬅ What challenges should we be prepared for? #MuseumReconstruction #DesignDilemmas #InnovativeSolutions

#Ourstory: as of yet unlearned, #History, "doomed to repeat", "University of Chicago launches first archaeological dig at site of 1893 World's Fair", & "found permanant infrastructure, including 56 miles of sewers & an electrical-system powering over 90,000 lightbulbs", not "temporary" as has been indoctrinated, why would anyone believe such ornate architecture to be inexpensive throw-aways... how to convince this being instructed in classrooms... what were you told..., ...in all truth, inheritors "didn't build it, blow it up", building decoys, bombing originals, an ongoing process, just blowing up another cathedral in New London, Connecticut, https://lnkd.in/edYd9cW8 ,no it didn't just "collapse", our olde-world architecture built with purpose, "electri-city", as an electrical-grid, pyramidal-complexes sending frequencies charging obelisks, so as not to perturb pineal-glands, cathedrals healing-frequencies, starforts electrolytic+waters, lighthouses extracting hydrogen & helium for incoming airships, regenerational-braking on trains, trolleys, subways... ...in fact, an entire plethora of electrical-production, not a "key on a kitestirng", not "Kittyhawk", not even any "genocide"... ...what had originally destroyed so many cities, giving opportunities for such pilferings, what had left America's so "devoid of life", was the close passing of #Sungrazer #Comet #C1811F1, sending bow-shock, plasma-release, serial-impact, "fire from the sky", one massive bolide resurfacing entire #MississippiEmbayment, & by the morning of #Dec16_1811 it was all over, our previous civilization now laid-waste... https://lnkd.in/eCekwwYT "How The West Was Won" -we were all born into a world of cluelessness, can our little "Truther+Community" awaken the blissful masses, will we be able to warn them before it is again too late, how to return our forefather's advancements, remembering what was, reliving past grandeur, wonders & magic of our magnificent cities, now all but forgotten- -["inevitable #technologies"]- +bring back our lost #Antiquitech+"find the truths behind the myths" https://lnkd.in/eJy2AFDR

Unlikely Monuments exhibition curated by Giovanna Calvenzi From 31st January to 7th February 2024 Istituto Storico Parri, Bologna Promoted by Istituto Storico Parri and Lavì City on the occasion of Art City Bologna 2024 On show part of an ongoing series of monuments dedicated to women who have had a public role or a relevant role in the public sphere, known, unknown, or forgotten. These monuments are undoubtedly unlikely, like many of the places in which they are placed in this series, which is nothing but imaginary cataloguing as much as the monuments themselves. What is also proposed is a reflection on the meaning of "monument", on how we are remembered and how we would like to be represented, perhaps through other forms than the patriarchal ones that monuments have assumed. The series is presented as an excerpt from a catalogue.

Preserving History with Dehumidification for Museums and Archive Rooms   Protecting our cultural heritage requires meticulous attention to detail, especially when it comes to maintaining the ideal environment for priceless artifacts and historical documents. Museums and archive rooms serve as the guardians of our past, housing treasures that connect us to our shared history.   Dehumidification technology plays a crucial role in this preservation effort. By controlling humidity levels, dehumidifiers help prevent moisture-related damage such as mold growth, decay, and deterioration. Whether it's delicate artworks in a museum or centuries-old manuscripts in an archive room, these devices ensure that our cultural heritage remains intact for future generations to cherish.   Join us in exploring the significance of dehumidification solutions for museums and archive rooms and discover how these innovations are safeguarding our most precious treasures.    #Preservation #Dehumidification #CulturalHeritage #MuseumArchives #BryAirIndonesia
