In 1960 Kevin Lynch analysed the ‘city-image’ in The Image of the City; seven years later American artist Robert Smithson surveyed the suburb of Passaic in ‘A Tour of the Monuments of Passaic, New Jersey’. Both approaches use narrativity as an instrument to connect urban space with the lived experience of its users. Where Kevin Lynch analyzes the visual perception and mental representation (‘imageability’) of the postwar American metropolis, Robert Smithson explores the temporality of its peripheral terrain vague. Where Kevin Lynch frames his inquiry within then-current conventions of perception and cognition, Robert Smithson rejects these conventions precisely because they do no justice to his experience of the suburb and offer him no method to analyze or describe it. In his analysis, there is no coherent map of the territory, no mental representation to consult. How does Smithson’s practice relate to the paradigm of ‘imageability’? What is being narrated, and how does narrativity operate? By juxtaposing the two approaches this text reflects on some ideas and issues that surround a narrative analysis of urban landscape.

Uit de Inleiding De Hogeschool van Utrecht heeft sinds september 2002 de leerstoel Monumentenzorg in de Praktijk. In de monumentenzorg en het restauratiebedrijf bestaat ongerustheid over de instroom van gekwalificeerd personeel op de restauratiegroeimarkt. De instelling van de leerstoel bij een hogeschool duidt op een praktische oriëntatie. Wat is "monumentenzorg in de praktijk"? Ik begin mijn betoog met de toenemende uitbreiding en verschuiving van het vakgebied, vervolgens vertel ik over de kennisbehoefte in de restauratiepraktijk en licht u ten slotte in over de opzet van restauratieonderwijs in Utrecht.
