CIVVIH Annual Meeting 2018, Scientific Symposium “Heritage and Sustainable City”: History, Archaeology, Antiquities and Sustainable City. Brüguerolle, Antoine (ed.). 2019. 62 pages. [Same text in English. and fr.]
The theme of the persistence of antiquity in the city is highlighted by the municipality of Nîmes and reflects the scientific reflection and work of experts from the CIVVIH. In order to broaden the field of work and enable the greatest possible engagement - beyond the notion of antiquity - an evocation of history and archeology was proposed and the construction of a sustainable city as well as new urban, town planning and architectural practices were addressed. Three cross-cutting themes were proposed to highlight exemplary experiences and case studies on the topic. Each topic was the subject of a learning session consisting of a theoretical introduction, followed by seven or eight presentations highlighting practices or significant experiences, and ended with a round table and open debate led by a moderator.

“The Venus Grotto in the park of Linderhof Palace in the Upper Bavarian municipality of Ettal in southern Bavaria is a unique work of art from the 19th century. Commissioned by King Ludwig II of Bavaria and largely designed for him by Para, building combines technological innovation and illusionistic performance art into an extraordinary space of experience that is more like an interactive theater stage than traditional cave architecture: with diagrams of distant and fantastic worlds, the Blue Grotto on Capri and scenes from the operas of Richard Wagner were performed at great expense in one place, today they give a unique insight into the technical and artistic innovations of the last century.
Ludwig's aspiration to create a perfect artistic experience using every available means led to exceptional technical and artistic achievements in the Venus Grotto, as one of the first power plants in the world to illuminate the grotto, new constructive and static solutions for a realistic style of course . Grotto architecture and unique theatrical effects in the form of light shows and an artificial waterfall".

ISBN 978-2-86742-278-2
An immersion in the land of architecture, in the experiences and reflections that inspired it and that are intended to be testimonies and elements of a methodology at the same time. Where do we stand in the distinction between architectural heritage and historical monuments? And what role will they play tomorrow in saving driving cultural identities in the fog of globalization? What practical measures are needed to meet this challenge? In the land of necessary hope, we must not only ensure the survival, but also the smile of the architectural heritage.
This book is a summary of the history of architectural practices dedicated to heritage preservation. Two hundred years of observations, implementations and inventions. Both analytical and didactic, the book proposes a series of through countless examples - from the most prestigious buildings (Notre-Dame, Quimper, Invalides...) to the most humble (squares, country houses, mixed buildings...). Opportunities to intelligently mobilize the architectures of the past and link them to our time.

Colonial exhibitions in Marseille and Paris from 1867 to 1937.
Volume 2 (Angkor Cambodia) covers for the first time in this depth the various on-site restoration efforts within the “Angkor Archaeological Park” from 1907 to 1970 and the gradual canonization of the temple as a symbol of national identity during o He originated in Cambodia. through restive colonization (1953-1989), from independence to the terror of the Khmer Rouge and the Vietnamese occupation and finally from 1992 to today as a UNESCO World Heritage Site icon.
