Participate in the "Historic Gardens. Experiences, research, perspectives 40 years after the Florence Charter’ convention"
The International Conference will take place in Florence, 25th and 26th November 2021. It is organized by the University of Florence in collaboration with École Nationale Supérieure de Paysage de Versailles (ENSP).
The 1981-2021 convention ‘Historic Gardens. Experiences, research, perspectives 40 years after the Florence Charter’ aims to rethink the two Charters for the restoration of historic gardens (Icomos-IFLA and Italian) drawn up in Florence in 1981 in light of the profound changes that have affected the environment, the landscape, society in the transition to the new millennium and the results of an international activity in the restoration of gardens, which has been refined on the basis of the criteria dictated by the Charters.
The attention will be placed, in particular, on professional figures and schools, on the impact on conservation and on the approach to the restoration of increasingly binding problems in contemporary society, such as climate, sustainability, ecology, new technologies; and on the need to update the maps, taking up the challenges of complexity.
The International Conference will take place in Florence, 25th and 26th November 2021.
