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.

Paper naar aanleiding van een presentatie over herontwikkeling waarbij de case studie projecten steenfabriek in Wirdum (Gr.) en Sint Petruskerk in Eindhoven zijn behandeld.In dit artikel wordt ingegaan op het spanningsveld tussen behoud en ontwikkeling van monumenten. De problematiek wordt geschetst vanuit een analyse van beleid en praktijk. Hoe worden fysieke aanpassingen aan monumenten benaderd vanuit het perspectief van de monumentenzorg? En waar liggen knelpunten in het herontwikkelingsproces in de praktijk? Dit laatste wordt belicht vanuit twee case studie onderzoeken: de vervallen steenfabriek Tichelwerk in Wirdum en de Energieke Sint Petruskerk in Eindhoven. Beide voorbeelden laten zien dat het herontwikkelingsproces ook wordt gestuurd door mechanismen die niet per definitie gerelateerd zijn aan de cultuurhistorische waarden van de gebouwen. Door deze mechanismen te doorgronden kunnen herbestemming en energiebesparing worden ingezet als middel voor het behoud van monumenten.

The Academy for Leisure & Events has always been one of the frontrunners when it comes to the development, design and implementation of cultural tourism and creative industry business models as well as lifelong learning programmes.These programmes are attended by a variety of leisure and tourism professionals, including public authorities in leisure, culture and nature fields.The CULTURWB project addresses the need for strengthening the development of the cultural tourism industry.The experts from BUas together with the other project partners have utilised diverse research methodologies (marketing and branding, strategy business planning, digital tourism, sustainable development, strategy and action plan implementation, etc.) to develop and pilot a toolkit for Lifelong Learning courses in the field of cultural tourism and heritage. They have also designed and implemented a master’s programme in the WB countries and created an online platform for communication between stakeholders, industry leaders, managers, workforce, and academia.PartnersHochschule Heibronn, FH Joanneum Gesellschaft, World University Service - Österreichisches Komitee (WUS Austria), Dzemal Bijedic University of Mostar (UNMO), University of East Sarajevo (UES), The University of Banja Luka (UBL), University of NIS (UNI), University of Montenegro (UoM), Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures (SMOC), rovincial Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments (PZZZSK), Tourism Organisation of Kotor Municipality (TO Kotor)
