The Charter for the Industrial Heritage of TICCIH

25. 04. 2013

The Charter for the Industrial Heritage was drawn up by the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH) and was published in 2003 in the Russian town of Nizhny Tagil. Today it represents a generally applicable and concise reference document for research projects, conservation work, heritage conservation, and the adaptive re-use or conversion of industrial structures and sites.

The basic principles for understanding industrial heritage outlined in the charter are not yet common knowledge. In an effort to promote greater awareness, the Research Centre for Industrial Heritage (VCPD) at the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University organised an internal workshop in spring 2013, during which an updated working translation of the Charter into Czech was prepared on the basis of the version published in the book Industrial Heritage Re-tooled. The TICCIH Guide to Industrial Conservation. The translation is one of the outcomes of the VCPD’s research project ‘Industrial Topography of the Czech Republic – Adaptive Re-use of Industrial Heritage’, which was conducted with the support of the Czech Ministry of Culture’s NAKI (National and Cultural Identity) applied research programme. The workshop on the Industrial Heritage Charter also drew on earlier writings and translations prepared at the Research Centre for Industrial Heritage with the participation of members of the ‘Industrial Topography’ research team (Benjamin Fragner, Vladislava Valchářová, Petr Vorlík, Lukáš Beran, Matúš Dulla, Jan Zikmund, Dita Dvořáková), along with Lenka Popelová, Věra Kučová, Jana Kotalíková, Jiří Merta, Nina Bartošová and Petr Urlich.

The working translation was published as an occasional paper to accompany a conference titled ‘A New Life for Abandoned Buildings – Vestiges of Industry’, which was held in April 2013 in Brno.

Prague Railway Stations Un/Used

19. 04. 2012

This publication was released to coincide with a conference and exhibition titled ‘Prague Railway Stations Un/Used’, which was organised in early March 2012 by Galerie Jaroslava Fragnera, the Research Centre for Industrial Heritage (VCPD) of the Faculty of Architecture of the Czech Technical University, and a civic initiative called ‘This Doesn’t All Belong to Developers’ (Tady není developerovo o. s).

The book is divided into two parts. The first contains papers by scholars writing about railway stations in Prague from the perspectives of history, architecture, urban studies, industrial heritage, and heritage conservation. The second part presents eighteen student projects with proposals for the adaptive re-use of Žižkov Freight Station in Prague; these projects were developed as part of a workshop organised by the VCPD and Galerie Jaroslava Fragnera in autumn 2011. The publication, exhibition, and conference were all prepared as part of work on the project ‘Industrial Topography of the Czech Republic – The Adaptive Re-Use of Industrial Heritage’ (DF11P01OVV016) supported by the NAKI (National and Cultural Heritage) programme of the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.
