Haraguchi Foreword Under the Global Strategy for a credible, balanced and representative World Heritage List, adopted by the World Heritage Committee in 1994, the World Heritage Centre is engaged in assisting States Parties that have few or no World Heritage sites to protect, preserve and nominate their heritage of outstanding universal value. Next to this, a pro-active approach is also taken with regard to the identification and documentation of less-represented categories of heritage for inclusion on the World Heritage List. One such category is Modern Heritage, which comprises the architecture, town planning and landscape design of the 19th and 20th centuries. As at May 2003, out of a total of 730 properties and sites on the World Heritage List, only 12 represent Modern Heritage; they are shown in this publication. In addition to reasons of representativity, in 2001 UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre, the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the Working Party on the Documentation and Conservation of buildings, sites and neighbourhoods of the Modern Movement (DOCOMOMO) started a joint programme for the identification, documentation and promotion of the built heritage of the modern era, because properties and sites under this category were considered to be under threat. They are increasingly subject to serious alteration or destruction, without a proper discussion and assessment of the values embedded in them. Next to rapid socio-economic changes in society demanding a different functional use, a poor understanding of the significance of these properties and sites plays an equally important role. In addition to traditional heritage categories, such as archaeological sites and monuments, also modern properties and sites need to be considered that are worthy of preservation and transmission to future generations for reasons of cultural identity in relation to aspects of continuity and change. In order to gain better understanding, raise public awareness and promote inscription of this category of heritage, study and evaluation of possibilities, establishment of criteria and selection of properties and sites is needed. To continue and complement the work done by ICOMOS in this field, two meetings were held at UNESCO Headquarters in February and October 2001 respectively to define direction and objectives for a Programme on Modern Heritage. The underlying publication contains the position papers that were written to facilitate the debate during the October 2001 expert meeting. Its aim is to present a framework of conceptual thinking on the signif- icance of Modern Heritage, its preservation and some of the pivotal issues concerning identification and valuation. This framework is guiding the various Regional Meetings on Modern Heritage currently under implementation by the World Heritage Centre, and should facilitate further, more concrete studies and exercises. Eventually, the combined results will be presented to the World Heritage Committee and the States Parties for recommendation, and disseminated to the general public for information and aware- ness building, to aim for a World Heritage List that reflects mankind’s heritage in all its diversity.

This heritage is considered to be particularly vulnerable because of weak legal protection and low appreciation among the general public. These problems were recognized in December 1989 by a Council of Europe proposal, which stated a range of activities and recommenda- tions worldwide, partly focused on raising public awareness. With only twelve properties out of 730 relating to modern heritage (as at June 2002), this concept is currently poorly represented in the World Heritage List (see Annex A). An analysis of the justifications shows that these twelve properties are not always identified as modern heritage, they are sometimes listed for other reasons and under different categories. This joint World Heritage Centre/ICOMOS/DOCOMOMO initiative proposes to take stock of what has been done so far with regard to studies, meetings and proposals, to place these within the system of the World Heritage Convention and to define how this process could be further developed in order to increase the representativity of the World Heritage List. This study will then be presented to the World Heritage Committee and the States Parties as advice with recommendations for action.

Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

    CENTER FOR AUSTRIAN STUDIES AUSTRIAN STUDIES NEWSLETTER Vol. 16, No. 1 Spring 2004 Barbara Krauss-Christensen retires by Daniel Pinkerton For 26 years—through changes of directors, location, financing, and scholarly mission—the one constant at the Center for Austrian Stud- ies has been Barbara Krauss-Christensen, our executive secretary. On July 1, 2004, she will retire, marking the end of an era, and changing CAS forever. Krauss-Christensen arrived at the Center in the fall of 1978, one year after its founding, an M.A. in German in hand. “Barbara was the rock upon which the Center was founded,” William Wright, the Cen- ter’s founding director, asserted. “She had little to work with in those lean, early days, but she never faltered or fretted. She was always there, ready to see to the welfare and mission of the Center. In later years, after prosperity brought many more people into the office, it would be easy to forget how Barbara had carried the load quite alone for many years.” Over the years, Krauss-Christensen learned more than any direc- tor or visitor possibly could about the ins and outs of university and government paperwork—visas, reimbursement forms, budgeting, and the like. “While directors have come and gone, it has been Barbara who has held the Center together and has maintained an institutional memory better and more reliably than any computer,” according to former CAS interim director Gerhard Weiss. “If it had not been for the reassurance of Barbara’s presence, I never would have accepted the Center’s interim directorship.” “Her fierce loyalty to the Center and its mission, and her willingness to put in long hours were major factors in the Center’s success,” for- mer director David Good maintains.

  • Roland Rainer. (Un)Disputed a New Look at the Work (1936–1963) Sammlungslab #3
    Roland Rainer. (Un)Disputed A New Look at the Work (1936–1963) SammlungsLab #3 Exhibition: 20.10 – 10.12.2018, Gallery Press conference: Fri 19.10, 11:00 Opening: Fri 19.10, 19:00 At least since the study commissioned by the City of Vienna of person-related street signs, where Roland-Rainer-Platz is categorised as "a case requiring discussion", issues have arisen around the gaps the architect himself left in his biography during the Nazi period. Roland Rainer (1910–2004) numbers among the most notable Austrian architects of the 20th century. His buildings are key to the identity of modern democratic Austria. Rainer's housing estate concept for the "structured and dispersed city" is still considered the most important model of space-saving, low-level housing. During the Nazi period, Rainer acquired his knowledge of fundamental urban research at the Deutsche Akademie für Städtebau, Reichs- und Landesplanung, which served him after 1945 as the basis for a series of theoretical publications. The continuity of the concepts in Rainer's work and his professional career suggest his flexibility in adapting to different political systems. He left only a rudimentary commentary on the Nazi years in his own biographical accounts, and many questions open. The acquisition of Roland Rainer's estate by the Az W in 2015 has provided an opportunity to re-examine his oeuvre and his biography. The focus is on the period from 1936, when Rainer left for Berlin, until 1963, the year he resigned his position with the City of Vienna planning department. In the third edition of the SammlungsLab series of exhibitions, in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the first findings of extensive research in archives in Austria and abroad are presented and discussed in an accompanying international symposium.
