N O I T A nd In this year of 2008, we will be holding our 52 Congress, our organisation’s most important annual event, M and I wish to invite all UIA members to participate in it. R O In fact, it will be taking place at a crucial moment for lawyers who are being threatened and harassed in F N different corners of the planet, but also at a time when the profession is on the verge of turning into a mere I business and no longer a profession. This is an issue that we will be able to discuss during this Congress. Furthermore, UIA celebrates and supports Romania’s entry into the European Union, which is a source of great pleasure for me as UIA President and a European citizen. The European Union’s expansion was essential as an affirmation of the Rule of Law and democracy, as well as for the respect of Human Rights in East Europe. Furthermore, the main themes which we will address are crucial both for the world at large and for our profession. Finally, this will be a memorable occasion thanks to the efficiency of the Organising Committee, led by my friend Mihai TANASESCU – a guarantee of success in terms of organisation and results. All these reasons would be more than enough to justify your taking part in the Congress, but there is yet another: it will be held in Romania, giving us the opportunity to discover the charm of this extraordinary country, where Europe meets the Black Sea, a region steeped in history and culture. There we will find the magnificent city of Sibiu, which easily merited the title of Europe’s Cultural Capital in 2007, the year when Romania joined the European Union. The proceedings will be held at the House of Parliament and the gala dinner at the Royal Palace. My words of welcome to you would not be complete without mention of Cristian IORDANESCU, who was the first person involved in the organisation of our Congress in Romania but who sadly died in early December 2007. I look forward to seeing all of you in Bucharest, with the certainty that the Congress will be unforgettable – both useful and fruitful on the professional front, and pleasant and interesting at the personal level. Héctor DÍAZ-BASTIEN UIA President Dear friends, You already know from the messages in the preliminary programme that the Bucharest Congress will be unique: the beauty of the city that most of you haven’t been to, the joy of its inhabitants after joining the Great European Family, the country’s special characteristics - Latin by training and culture, Oriental because of the influence of the Middle Ages and the Ottoman domination - and its multiculturalism. This is a land at the crossroads of history and much more. Unfortunately, a shadow has been cast over this unique event, by the fact that the person who fought with all his heart and soul to organise this.

Overview Assoc. Professor Adrian Jones, OAM and arts educator and consultant Angelica Iacob lead this tour of little-known, extraordinarily diverse Romania. Moldavia's unique heritage of painted monasteries, where every inch of both inner and outer walls is covered with brilliantly coloured late medieval and early modern Byzantine paintings. Centuries-old wooden churches and villages nestled in medieval agricultural landscapes of isolated Maramures; one of the richest heritages of wood architecture in the world. Picturesque old Saxon cities originating from the 11th-century German migration to Transylvania. Medieval fortified churches built by German migrants; these once existed in Western Europe but are long gone from there. Grand country houses and palaces like Princess Marie of Romania's Pelisor, and Mogosoaia Palace, which fuses Italian Renaissance, Ottoman and indigenous elements in a unique harmony. Fine collections of Romanian and European art with brilliant Eastern icons and the works of masters such as Van Eyck, Brueghel, El Greco, Rembrandt and Brancusi. Priceless collections of gold artefacts, dating from the Paleolithic to the 20th century. Beautiful mountain landscapes, with some of Europe's most ancient forests. Some of the best collections of old Turkish carpets outside Istanbul's Topkapi Palace and the V & A, in old Saxon churches, especially Brasov's Black Church.

Emlen Urban The City of Lancaster, Pennsylvania – 1 – To Build Strong and Substantial Introduction In A History of Lancaster County (1924), historian H.M.J. Klein wrote of architect C. Emlen Urban: “Few men of Lancaster County can point to a finer array of useful and beautiful work than can Cassius Emlen Urban, of the City of Lancaster, whose skilled hand and artistic talent mean much to the civic dignity of this and other municipalities.” Over the span of a 45-year career in Lancaster, Urban’s designs included major commercial and public buildings, churches, hotels, schools, industrial buildings and private residences. His designs were stylistically eclectic, reflecting the influence of Queen Anne, French Renaissance, Gothic Revival, Beaux Arts and Colonial Revival periods. Although he spent his entire professional career living within the City of Lancaster, his designs were informed by knowledge of classical and historical architecture as well as work being produced by his contemporaries in larger cities such as Philadelphia and New York.

This monograph totally neglects the archaeological and architectural aspects of the castle of Sailhant, and provides no real description or dates. Alfred Douet concentrates mainly on the genealogy of the Lords of Sailhant: he uses and completes data taken from the ancient book of Baluze (among others) about the Lords of Auvergne. He also focuses on the purpose of the castle during the Hundred Years’ war, and uses works published before his book and written by another local historian specialized in texts, Marcelin Boudet, famous for his archival work and his scientific method. The goal here is not to simply paraphrase or summarize Alfred Douet’s complex work but to retain the essential contextual information which will allow us to refine the hypothesis relative to the nature and dates of the successive campaigns of construction which are still imprinted in the fabric of the existing castle.

  • Historic Centre of Vienna
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.
