Workshop Presentations. The workshop lasted two days, the first being dedicated to lectures and discussions and the second to visits in the countryside of the Banat region. The first day included a morning session during which main institutions acting in the heritage domain in the Banat region presented their current activities and shared visions for the future regarding creative industries and the heritage domain: the University of the West, Timisoara and its research / academic program, the inter-cultural institute, operating under the European Commission and implementing its policies and the association Timisoara European Capital of Culture. Particular aspects that were highlighted were the inter-departmental academic and research activities aimed at preparing students for the challenges of the modern society of tomorrow, related to how to invest, develop and sustain the rich, multi-ethnical heritage of the region, the policies, programs and initiatives of the European Commission regarding heritage and the deep impact a European capital of culture may have on the citizen inhabiting it. The second part of the morning introduced the audience to the Creative CH project and the Banat showcase, their scopes, activities and achievements so far. Particular topics addressed in depth were - the role academic institutions may and should have in developing relationships between the various sectors active in the creative industries for the cultural heritage domain, - the richness of the regional heritage and archaeology and societal valuable research in this field,
Workshop Presentations. The workshop focused on the opportunities and challenges in the revitalization and communication of industrial heritage sites. Revitalization of such sites typically requires realizing new forms of usage such as facilities for cultural organizations (museums, galleries, etc.) and workspaces for creative industry businesses. After the opening address of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx (University of Coimbra), in the first section of the workshop three presentations were given: Xxxxxx Xxxxx, architect, heritage consultant and Europa Nostra Council member, presented several private-public partnership models which were used successfully for safeguarding and managing industrial heritage sites. These models included: • Public authorities supporting civil society groups to carry out conservation and regeneration work on their urban heritage sites (Amsterdam, Newcastle); • Public authorities being flexible concerning adapted re-use of historic buildings (Westergasfabriek Amsterdam, Stadtforum Leipzig HausHalten); • Visionary developers and municipalities upgrading historic settings with contemporary architecture (MAS Antwerp, Oliaros in KM Athens); • Giving back to society through creative funding mechanisms (Dutch BankGiro Lottery grants, Greek Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation museums). Among the various models particularly novel funding mechanisms such as the Dutch BankGiro Lottery grants or “crowd sourcing” of financial contributions caught the attention of the workshop participants. According to Xxxxx, revitalized industrial heritage complexes can contribute to the regeneration of their surrounding neighborhoods and to the prosperity of cities as a whole. Therefore heritage regeneration projects need to be financed and carried out considering the effects on the larger city landscape. Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx (Xxxxx-Xxxxxx-Zentrum für Metropolenforschung, Humboldt-Universität Berlin) presented four cases of industrial heritage sites in the context of urban transformation: ex-Falck Area in Sesto San Giovanni (Milan), Italy; Sulzer Areal in Winterthur (Switzerland); Liverpool waterfront (UK), and Zeche Zollverein, Essen (Germany). These sites are considered as exemplary concerning there functions as: • heritage sites citizens feel a strong attachment to, • new locations for culture and creative industries, and • development motors with positive effects on the urban landscape. Drawing on the results of a research project funded by the German Research Foundation, Xxxxxxxxx addressed...
