18th of April, 2015 / ICOMOS is 50 - let's celebrate
18 April 2015: ICOMOS is 50
The Second Congress of Architects and Specialists of Historic Buildings, held in Venice in 1964, adopted 13 resolutions, the first being the International Charter for the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites, better known as the Venice Charter, and the second, put forward by UNESCO, provided for the creation of ICOMOS.
From 21 to 25 June 1965, the Constitutional and First General Assemblies of lCOMOS took place in Warsaw, Poland. Besides the delegates from 26 countries, representatives of three major organisations who had contributed to the creation of lCOMOS participated as observers: UNESCO, ICCROM, ICOM (International Council on Museums) and UIA (The International Union of Architects). View the 1965 photo gallery.
This year, ICOMOS celebrates its 50th anniversary by honouring its founders and highlighting its achievements so far, but above all by reflecting on its future objectives through a series of international events and on the basis of a modernized set of Statutes and Ethical principles.

Exposition virtuelle - « 1974-1975 : Mouvements, modernité et naissance d’un village », lancement de l’exposition par l’Université Concordia
Cette exposition est la quatrième d’une série axée sur le Quartier Concordia et ses environs. Au cœur d’une décennie marquée par le changement, 1974 et 1975 sont des années de transformation. En cette période de forte croissance démographique, de nombreux bâtiments de l’époque victorienne sont démolis pour faire place à des immeubles plus élevés et plus imposants. Tandis que certains rêvent d’un nouvel ordre social, d’autres se mobilisent pour préserver le passé. Deux réputés établissements d’enseignement montréalais fusionnent et deviennent l’Université Concordia, épicentre de ce quartier en transition.
