L'ASBL Art Research Institute propose un ouvrage inédit consacré à une construction reprise à l'inventaire du patrimoine de Wallonie : le Manoir de Strud (Haltinne). Il repose sur des recherches historiques et archéologiques menées par Hendrik Doperé et son fils Frans dans les années 1970 et suivantes.Hendrik Doperé (1910-1995) trace la succession des différents feudataires et propriétaires depuis la maison qui fut à Colin de Ville à Strud au milieu du 14e siècle jusqu'au manoir de Claude Simon, actuel propriétaire depuis le 21 décembre 1961. Le docteur en sciences Frans Doperé apporte sa propre expertise en réalisant une toute nouvelle étude d'archéologie du bâti en scrutant particulièrement les pierres qui donnent des informations utiles pour une meilleure compréhension de l'évolution de cette construction féodale particulière. Il s'agit d'un type de bâtiment trop peu étudié, qui touche à la fois au château et à la maison-forte, sans être ni l'un ni l'autre. L'ouvrage compte aussi une subtile analyse des matériaux pierreux par le géologue et docteur en sciences Francis Tourneur. La publication est introduite par une préface de Philippe Destatte, Directeur général de l'Institut Destrée, qui replace cet ensemble architectural rural dans le contexte patrimonial wallon et aborde les questions liées au classement. Jacques Toussaint dresse l'histoire récente de cette propriété très largement appréciée et constitue un dossier iconographique sur le manoir.

"Narrative Theory in Conservation engages with conservation, heritage studies and architecture approaches to historic buildings, offering a synthesis of the best of each, and demonstrating that conservation is capable of developing a complementary, but distinct, theoretical position of its own. Tracing the ideas behind the development of modern conservation in the West, and considering the challenges presented by non-Western practice, the book engages with the premodern understanding of innovation within tradition, and frames historic buildings as intergenerational, communal, ongoing narratives. Redefining the appropriate object of conservation, it suggests a practice of conserving the questions that animate and energize local cultures, rather than only those instantiated answers that expert opinion has declared canonical. Proposing a narrative approach to historic buildings, the book provides a distinctive new theoretical foundation for conservation, and a basis for a more equal dialogue with other disciplines concerned with the historic environment. Narrative Theory in Conservation articulates a coherent theoretical position for conservation that addresses the urgent question of how historic buildings that remain in use should respond to change. As such, the book should be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students from the fields of conservation, heritage studies and architecture"--

"Heritage stones are building and ornamental stones that have special significance in human culture. The papers in this volume discuss a wide variety of such materials, including stones from Europe, Asia, North and South America, Africa and Australia. Igneous (basalt, porphyry, granite), sedimentary (sandstone, limestone) and metamorphic (marble, quartzite, gneiss, soapstone, slate) stones are featured. These have been utilized over long periods of time for a wide range of uses contributing to the historic fabric of the built environment. Many of these stones are of international significance, and so are potential Global Heritage Stone Resources, that is stones that have the requisite qualities for international recognition by the Heritage Stones Subcommission of the International Union of Geological Sciences. The papers bring together diverse information on these stones ranging from their geological setting and quarry locations to mechanical properties, current availability, and uses over time. As such the papers can serve as an entry into the literature on these important stones."--

The volume presents the proceedings of the first annual conference of the Centre of Excellence of the Technological District for Cultural Heritage and Activities of the Lazio Region (DTC Lazio). From their reading emerges a wide and extremely rich overview of the research, innovation and technology transfer capacities of the community of over 700 researchers that make up the Research Infrastructure of the Centre of Excellence. The papers, which were included in the order of the day's programme, touched on the themes of innovation and digitisation in museums, "Digital Storytelling" for the training of experts in cultural heritage and systems, the impact of the Territorial Observatory on sustainable development and socio-economic well-being, technologies for diagnostics, structural monitoring of historic buildings, technologies for the diagnostics of cultural heritage, restoration, and enhancement
