IFAU 2023 – International Forum on Architecture and Urbanism

Climate Change and Cultural Heritage

21 – 23 June 2023, Caserta, Italy

CALL FOR PAPERS

The IFAU23 Conference entitled Climate Change and Cultural Heritage promotes studies and
research on the past, present and future of architecture, the city, and the landscape.
Climate Change that afflicts our Planet is a problem for humanity and affects the
practices of knowledge, management and cultural heritage protection.
Cultural Heritage includes the interdisciplinary themes of possible questions related, in
one, to the Heritage as a set of multiple categories, from artefact to natural.
The IFAU23 Conference proposes an extensive discussion on cultural Heritage as a "place
of Life" for all living beings on the Planet as well as on best practices related to Heritage as
a "place of experience" for the knowledge and protection of the built and natural
environment, material and immaterial, tangible, and intangible.
The contributions will be included in the three topics to follow (architecture, city and
landscape, living environments) to activate an interdisciplinary discussion on the topics
and criticalities of the current relationship between Climate Change and Cultural Heritage
in the opinion that scientific knowledge must always accompany the progressive impact
on the life of communities.
